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.

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:

      A lot of shredders have an opening on the top of the shredder but this one has the opening in the front so I can stack papers (or whatever) on top of this shredder. The power cord on the back is great, I plug in an air freshener and my pencil sharpener and it sits right on top of the shredder. It's a great shredder for the price. This is my second one and I would buy it again!

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

              I have been using the 18 sheet version of this product for 2+ years now and it is an animal. It easily tears through everything that I feed it. For years I kept buying the $50 models and burning them out within a year or two. This product is far superior than those less expensive models and serves as more of a long term solution to document shredding.

              I have to admit that it's not the easiest to empty, but I find that emptying the bin into a large black trashbag seems to work well. When the bag fills up (usually about 4 bins worth), I then transfer it to the recycle bin.

                I held off for years because of the price but I decided to ordered this shredder recently. When it came in I was excited to open it, that quickly faded when I read the outer instructions on the box. It said to cut BANDS then it hit me, my shreddder was repackaged it had no Bands and was lightly taped. When I opened it it was used and had been sold to a business a couple of months before. It was dirty and had shredded material in an all over it from being used and [...] with the trash in it. I found two invoices inside where it was sold two months before. I have lost all faith in staples and do not trust buying anything from them again. Oh yes they gave me a little discount and the shredder works fine so far, but I am still HURT over this transaction.

                • 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?

                    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

                  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.
