Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Royal AG300X desktop crosscut shredder is ultrasmall, fitting on your desk or discreetly tucked away underneath. It's easy to think of great reasons to acquire a shredder: security, privacy, and recycling. With the Royal AG300X shredder you can shred confidential business and personal information such as financial documents, old credit card and bank statements, and expired tax forms while sitting at your desk. And since information gathering in corporate espionage is commonly achieved through the trash, the AG300X provides greater peace of mind than your wastebasket.

With a small 4.5-inch paper-entry slot, you can feed up to three folded sheets at one time. The basket holds up to 50 sheets of fully destroyed old research files, designs, business plans, and board minutes--making them unreadable to anyone else. The reverse mode and auto start/stop are additional benefits offered. Royal's desktop shredder is an exceptionally compact and affordable unit, which makes it possible for any home or office to have a shredder always at the ready. --Barbara Price

"markmre" (St. Paul, MN United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Royal AG300X Desktop Crosscut Shredder (Office Product)

I haven't filled the basket more than 3 times and it stopped working. Don't get it. Spend the money on something a little nicer.

1.0 out of 5 stars May as well shred your money., December 27, 2002

Hilary Esry (Kansas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Royal AG300X Desktop Crosscut Shredder (Office Product)

I used this shredder about five times before it suffered catastrophic failure. It jammed often even though I never fed it more than one sheet of paper at a time. If you buy this product you won't have to worry about emptying the basket. It won't last that long.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do not waste your money., January 11, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Royal AG300X Desktop Crosscut Shredder (Office Product)

With this Royal shredder, I have the same problems, e.g. jams, noisy sound, etc, that others already mentioned. In addition, this shredder is not safe. One day, it got jammed with cross-cut papers. When I pressed the reverse button, I heard a crack. Next thing I knew was that the cutting part cut open its plastic cover. I wish I could scan and post a picture of this broken shredder on this review so that other customers would see it.

That's where this shredder belongs. It barely holds 20 pages of shredded material and it jams at least twice for every basket full. Read more

I bought this product and within days of the 90 day limited warranty it broke. Would never recommend this product.

1.0 out of 5 stars mine broke too
Mine "broke" after the first filling. It can still be convinced to operate, however, if you first toggle it to Rev before toggling it to Auto.
