Aurora AU1285MD Compact Desktop-Style High Security 12-Sheet Micro-Cut Paper and CD/Credit Card/Junk Mail Pullout Basket Shredder, White/Black

I love it, however it arrived a little to late for me otherwise it is a perfect shredder for a small home office

I had a similar shredder that I was trying to get as close as possible too and I love this one a lot more!!! It shreds papers to smaller than dime size!!! Very quiet and fast also!!!

OK, this might be the best thing Ive bought for years. So our family makes a lot of trash. Too much for the garbage people to pick up. So I decided to use paper bags and cardboard boxes as mulch. This machine is perfect. I can shove pieces of boxes, paper bags, everything that you can compost, through this and I get itty bits of stuff I can use for mulch. I totally abuse this machine and it never complains. It doesnt make strips like old fashioned paper shredders, it makes tiny pieces. Theres even a gear for when it gets stuck and you want to push it up. You can shove anything in it and it will drag it down. I just love this machine. Its even quiet!

Not too big but big and powerful enough for a desk top. Surprisingly quiet. 12 sheets might be a little much. Overall it was a very good choice among the enormous number of shredders. Very happy with it so far.

Before this shredder, I assumed that all shredders just kinda had issues. This guy shreds like crazy, hasn’t jammed once and is oddly quiet in comparison.

So far, it seems like a good shredder for the price. Its much better than the one we previously had.

Easy to use and compact enough for small shelf.

This was a big upgrade for me. My prior shredder was loud and only cut in long strips. This new one creates tiny little bits of paper. I used to have a gerbil growing up and if you shred lots of paper, it would make excellent bedding material for your animal. Money saving. I plan to make fire starters using melted wax and paper remains.

Nice size but the paper sticks when you begin to use it. Have to shift the paper around to get it to start. So for the money can only give it 3 stars. It was pricey so it should work better

Great shredder that definitely shreds paper into small pieces. The basket is quite small so I modified it to shred into a bigger basket. This says it can shred 6 sheets at a time. To me that is not even close. Maybe two at a time but I wouldnt go past that. But it does do a very good at shredding into small pieces.
