5 Years Old Going Strong

Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2024

Size: 12 SheetVerified Purchase

I bought this cheap shredder five years ago — in 2019. After the umpteenth pile of financial documents I pushed through her teeth this afternoon, I marveled at how reliable this little unit is. It just keeps on shredding without any mishaps or choking on the stuff I feed it.

It will cut through staples without complaint. I have not tried paper clips or heavier duty fasteners. I think that is asking too much if this cheap machine. It shreds credit cards, but slows down considerably when eating them.

This is not NSA-level shredding but I think it is adequate for routine family financial and medical information. I do, however, need a set of needle-nosed pliers when I empty it because wads of paper get wedged into the corners.

I pushed it way beyond’s its intended light use when we moved two years ago. I had decades of old records that I no longer had a reason to keep and did not want to pay to move. I am talking about a large attic full of records that I shredded in long sessions over a couple of weeks. I fully expected this little thing would give up the ghost and give me a reason to buy a new, more robust unit. But it swallowed all of the papers without a problem or complaint.

I am a retired lawyer and I tend to keep more papers than most but when I ultimately dump them, I am very conscious of shredding anything with information someone could use that could harm me. My wife thinks it’s silly, but I also peel prescription information from medicine bottles and shred them too. Trash haulers (for whom I have a lot of respect) sometimes spill stuff in getting our refuse in its truck, especially when overstuffed bags break. I have found on the street neighbors’ paystubs, tax forms, and yes, even prescription medicine bottles.

I have to have my unit dumped every other week during “light” periods. Today, in clearing out two years of documents, I had to empty it twice.

I can only relate my experience but I am impressed with how much this cheap little thing has shredded for me and how reliable it’s been.

Performance better than expected

Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2024

Size: 8 SheetVerified Purchase

This product was delivered as described. Very easy to use. I fed a ton of paper through this shredder and expected it to overheat as I didn't give it really any idle time. I fed it consistently for 20 minutes and never had due to overheating, just to empty the shredded paper. Light weight, and durable. The more paper you feed it at once the slower the shred. Nice reverse function should there be a paper jam, haven't had to use it for the jam, but have turned it on to confirm it works. Shredded a couple of credit cards too, with ease! Great product especially for the price.

Reliable Shredding Performance with Amazon Basics 12-Sheet Cross-Cut Shredder

Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2023

Size: 12 SheetVerified Purchase

I recently purchased the Amazon Basics 12-Sheet Cross-Cut Paper and Credit Card Shredder for my home office, and it has proven to be a dependable addition to my document disposal routine. Here's my experience and why I've given it a four-star rating:

Efficient Shredding Capacity:
The shredder's ability to handle up to 12 sheets at a time is commendable, making it suitable for moderate shredding tasks in a home office setting. It smoothly shreds paper, credit cards, and even staples, saving me the hassle of removing them before shredding.

Cross-Cut Security:
The cross-cut shredding mechanism adds an extra layer of security compared to standard strip-cut shredders. It effectively turns sensitive documents into confetti, providing peace of mind when disposing of personal or confidential information.

Compact Design:
The Amazon Basics shredder boasts a compact design that doesn't take up much space in my home office. The integrated handle on the top makes it easy to move around when needed. It fits neatly under my desk, allowing for convenient access without compromising on office aesthetics.

Relatively Quiet Operation:
The shredder operates at a reasonable noise level, which is appreciated, especially in a home environment. While it's not completely silent, the noise level is not overly disruptive, allowing me to shred documents without causing a disturbance.

Easy to Empty Bin:
The bin is easy to access and empty. The transparent window on the front provides a clear view of the shredding capacity, allowing me to know when it's time to empty the bin. The pull-out design simplifies the process of removing and replacing the bin.

Automatic Start and Stop:
The shredder features convenient automatic start and stop functionality. It begins shredding when paper is inserted and stops when the job is complete, contributing to a smoother and more user-friendly experience.

Affordable Price Point:
Considering the shredder's capacity and cross-cut capabilities, the Amazon Basics 12-Sheet Cross-Cut Shredder offers good value for its price. It provides a solid balance between performance and affordability.

Minor Jams on Occasion:
While the shredder generally performs well, I have experienced occasional paper jams, especially when pushing the sheet limit. While these jams are easy to clear with the provided reverse function, it's worth noting for those planning to shred near the maximum sheet capacity.

Conclusion:
The Amazon Basics 12-Sheet Cross-Cut Shredder is a reliable and reasonably priced solution for home office document disposal needs. Its efficient shredding capacity, cross-cut security, and user-friendly features make it a solid choice for those seeking an affordable and compact shredder.

Great little shredder!

Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2024

Size: 8 SheetVerified Purchase

Bought this for an office cleanout. We have run the shredder a whole lot and it hasn't missed a beat. Seems like 3 pages at a time is the "happy spot" for me, as it doesn't slow down at all. I find myself emptying it all the time without having taken a break shredding and filling it up. Never got hot. I wish it had a larger can under it as well as it does. If I killed it tomorrow I would by another.

This one is a tad smaller than the other one I’ve had for about 25 years. It’s quieter than my old one too. The speed and durability are great. I will say, the lid fits very snug, was hard to open to empty the first time, but I’m hoping that will ease up the more I empty it.

Great shredder

Reviewed in Canada on May 12, 2024

Size: 8 SheetVerified Purchase

Upon receipt of shredder, shredded some 100+ pages and it worked great. I made sure there were no staples and shredded some 4-5 pages at a time; shredder worked great and NO trouble feeding pages into it. The noise level was quieter than my previous shredder. Very pleased with it so far.

Adulting Achievement Unlocked

Reviewed in Canada on March 21, 2024

Size: 15 SheetVerified Purchase

Who knew adulthood came with a manual, and chapter one was "Must Own a Paper Shredder"? Well, according to my dad, it's a rite of passage. So, here I am, the proud owner of an Amazon Basics 15-Sheet Cross-Cut Paper Shredder, and guess what? Dad was right (don't tell him I said that).

Why It's Awesome:

- Powerhouse Performance: This isn't just any shredder. It chews through paper like a hungry teenager after school. Up to 15 sheets at once? No problem. It's like the monster truck of paper shredders.
- More Than Just Paper: Got old credit cards, or perhaps a photo of an ex you're ready to part ways with? This machine doesn't discriminate. It'll turn cards, photos, and even small paper clips into confetti in seconds.
- Reliability is Key: Years have passed, and this shredder is still going strong. It's the loyal pet you never knew you needed. Sit, shred, good machine!
- Dad's Seal of Approval: Not only am I adulting like a pro, but I've also managed to make Dad proud. "Getting a paper shredder is the first step to true adulthood," he said. Well, step completed.

The Punchline: So, when does one truly become an adult? When you get excited about a paper shredder's performance and reliability. And let me tell you, this Amazon Basics shredder has not only met but exceeded my adulting expectations. Five stars for making me a responsible, shredding-enthusiast adult in my dad's eyes. Here's to many more years of shredding and, hopefully, not too many paper cuts along the way.
