I have owned this shredder for over a year and it works beautifully. I have owned many less expensive shredders over the last dozen years and you do get what you pay for. This unit has never had a jam, and it has never overheated even after 20 minutes of heavy constant use. The bin is good sized, and if you use a plastic kitchen bag it is very easy to empty, with no mess. I like the electronic controls, especially the one that tells you when to use a shredder lubricant sheet. With proper care I should get many years of service. When I do need a new one, I will definitely purchase this one again.

Two Different Units Died After Two Days

Defective power mechansism. Worked fine for a couple of days with light use. Then would not turn on. Unit was replaced and same thing happened with second unit.

    Comments about Staples® 24-Sheet Cross-Cut Shredder:

    This is the messiest shredder I've ever used. The shredded paper doesn't all land in the basket. When you pull the basket out of the machine, there is a large messy pile of shredded paper all over the floor of the cabinet where the basket inserts. Nothing works excepts getting down on my knees and cleaning it out by hand. The basket doesn't reach all the way to the back of the cabinet space so shredded paper falls behind the basket. Poorly designed and a pain to deal with.

    Comments about Staples® 24-Sheet Cross-Cut Shredder:

    this shredder is nice and quiet but you need to open the bin and redistribute the shreddings often. it says the bin is full even when the bin is only 1/4 full or less. The paper feed is also a bit odd, but once you figure out how it likes the paper to be fed it works really well, even if it is a bit slower then most other shredders I have used. If you are not in a hurry this is a nice shredder.

        Comments about Staples® 24-Sheet Cross-Cut Shredder:

        We bought this shredder to replace the previous one which we had for many years. This one was less money, and I guess we got what we paid for. My biggest complaint is that it's very slow. Then within the first few weeks the light came on saying it needed lubrication, but it would not go off after we lubricated it. It was a minor annoyance but we lived with it. Now a year later the motor runs continuously, even when there's no paper inside. We have to turn it off, then turn it on when we're ready to shread. This machine still works, but I don't think it's made well. It may be okay for light home use, but I wouldn't recommend it for a business.

        • Q:

          We purchased this shredder about a year and a half ago and it doesn't get heavy use but when I was using it yesterday it said it needed to be lubricated i tried to put the sheet in and it wont feed it through its just stuck. I checked and it isn't jammed either. I reset it and it not just says Auto as if it's ready but still wont feed anything through? Is there anything I can do or is it just broken?

          • A:

            The manual recommends using a lubricant sheet through it a minimum of twice a month, regardless of how often you use it. It might need to be serviced. I would contact customer service about it at: 800-333-3330

        • Q:

          We have recently purchased the Staples 24-Sheet Cross-Cut Shredder, Item # 707204. Inside the paper bin was the electrical cord and a rubber piece with adhesive on the back. We do not know where the rubber piece goes. There is nothing in the pamphlet that shows it. Did this come off of the inside of the shredder? Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.

          I just received the 24 sheet cross-cutter shredder and it keeps saying the bin is full when it is only about a 1/4 of the way full. I turn it off, get the excess out of the blades, turn it back on, shred 2 or 3 more pages and it says bin full again. What can I do to avoid this? Thank you
