This Amazon Basics shredder was ordered to replace a shredder we have had for about 10 years.
Frankly, I was surprised at the quality of this shredder. It is a powerful shredder for home or small office. The thing I really like about this shredder is that it is much quieter than our previous shredder. Yes, it does not make some noise, but nothing like the shrill, high pitched, loud sound that our previous shredder made. The largest number of pages of paper that we have tried so far is 10, and it went through those pages like a knife through soft butter. We have also shredded "junk mail" we've received. In most cases, the envelopes are opened and the contents "thinned" if the packet is thick. But, in any case, there were no issues shredding these types of material either. It is definitely as quick as we need it to be. The pages are shredded into pieces that are slightly over an inch long and about 1/8 inch wide, and meet P-4 security measures.
One of the other features that I really like is that the paper bin is removable rather than having to remove the top of the shredder from the bin. It is a much cleaner process.
We have not shredded any types of credit cards or other similar materials.
Yes, we paid a little of a premium for ordering a larger, more powerful shredder. But in my opinion, if this shredder holds up like our previous shredder, it will be well worth the price. I would definitely order this shredder again.
