1.0 out of 5 stars Looks good, but broke the first day, March 3, 2008

This review is from: Aurora AS810SD 8-Sheet Strip-Cut Paper, CD and Credit Card Shredder Basket (Office Product)

I bought this shredder because it had decent reviews, and was small and white (read: blends in with decor so my wife would let me keep it out in plain view).

This is a super light duty shredder. It doesn't make confetti cuts, just turns the paper into long strips. As a result, it isn't as secure and take up a lot of space in the bucket, so you have to empty often. But my biggest complaint is obviously that it broke the first day I had it. I would have been more upset except that I hadn't thrown away the packaging yet so it made it easy to return. So I was very disappointed and can't recommend a product that broke on day one, but Amazon was great about their return policy as usual.

I purchased a Fellowes DM12c as a replacement, which is more expensive and heavier duty. I really like the Fellowes shredder and it was worth the extra money. The way it sounds when this baby devours documents is like the purr of exhaust on a vette or porsche - very satisfying.

Great buy. Grab it before its out of stock. I did couple of searches for a good Shreder and found that all of them with all shredding capabilities are almost for 50 bucks.
I found this and read all the reviews and got this product. Am using this since couple of months and found it great with No trouble at all.

Adavantages:
1] Shreds almost 8 to 10 pages simultaneously.
2] Also easily shreds unopened envelops which contains the dummy plastic credit cards.
3] Shreds CD/DVD into 4 to 6 pieces. One at a time.
4] Shreds Credit Cards. One at a time.
5] Shreds Stapled bunch of papers.
6] All this for a price 29.99 bucks is a WORTH.

Cons:
1] CD/DVD is cut into couple of pieces. So if its your personal CD/DVD you might need to shred the shreded peices too.
2] Same goes with important credit cards.
3] But no worries its just an extra additional one time effort. Grab it :).


Overall its awesome and I found no real cons. in it. Its a shredder with all features at a price of only paper shredder from many other brands. So, close your eyes and grab it.

This is a great shredder for the home, and for the price. If the basket is too small for the shredding job you're doing, an attached extension on the side of the shredder just pulls out, and you can just place the shredder over the larger basket, I find the 13 gal. kitchen-size wastebasket works great. Buy it. You won't be disappointed.
