Aurora AU1275MA Professional Grade 12-Sheet Micro-Cut Paper and CD/Credit Card Shredder/ 60 Minutes Continuous Run Time, White/Gray

This shredder is quite quiet so that's great. Not the loud jarring noise that my old shredder made. It's nice to use, looks good and is working well. I haven't tried to shred very many sheets at a time and won't need to very often. I like that it's white as it fits in better with my home office furniture (a bit of a creamy white, not a bright white). It's grey on the back & sides. The bin is easy to take out & put back. Happy with this purchase.

Cumplió plenamente todas mis espectativas

This is an amazing shredder (even mentioning the name conjures up and image of the bad guy in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) and I cannot believe how well it performs. Even staples are doomed. It literally turns credit cards, debit cards and paper into confetti. I am impressed and very pleased with my purchase. It has lots of options and features that eventually will use but I need the security of a p5 Level Shredder to give me some piece of mind. Oh, this one is called, "Ollie 3". In reference to Lt. Col. Oliver North, the most famous paper shredder of all time. :D

I have owned a number of paper shredders. Nothing goes in the recycle that has a name and/or address unless it is shredded first. Most of my recent shredders have been the type with a container attached. These all have a number of “safety” features. Safety is important as shredders can cause some injuries if not used correctly. However, I have had a number of shredders which are so safe, they do not really work. A shredder which should feed 8 or 10 sheets will jam on 2 sheets. I do a lot of shredding, so I go through a lot of shredders. Recently I needed to replace a shredder. After reading several reviews, I zeroed in on the Aurora line. They had good reviews and were well liked. So, I selected this one. I have been using it for a couple months now. It is by far, the best shredder I have owned. It is very quiet compared to past shredders. It is easy to use. The basket holds a lot of shreds. This one shreds everything (including CD’s and credit cards) into smaller pieces than my past shredders. This allows the bin to hold a lot more before it fills up. The best part, so far, this shredder has not jammed. It works every time. It should automatically reverse to clear jams and I assume that it will reverse when necessary. But, so far, no jams. I use it the same as previous shredders, but no jams. I includes all the usual safety devices, but they do not get in the way of the shredder doings its job.

This is perfect for a home office that doesn't produce a lot of paperwork. Just like in the description, it does 5 - 7 pages at a time and runs for about 5 minutes at a time. I like the automatic feature, so it only runs when you feed paper. The bin is a little smaller then I would like, but it has not been a problem.
