Staples 8-Sheet Cross-Cut Shredder

I've had this shredder and while the paper usage states a few pages at a time, at times I've used 1-2 more. To be frank, I would suggest using what is recommended however. There are LOTS of pluses for this low cost shredder. I have shredded literally thousands of papers, all sizes and widths for hours on end (without stopping but for 10 or 15 minutes about every hour, tops). This "low budget" work horse literally went on and on shredding and shredding for me. I had years - decades actually of papers that I needed to shred due to a move. This shredder helped me along. I had this shredder over 14 months, shredding literally thousands upon thousands of papers roughly in the same manner (not something this shredder "should have been accustomed" to do). Eventually, it met its demise. For the price tag of under $40.00 that I spent at that time, this shredder had done more than it was manufactured for. For that, I would highly recommend it for everyday use and junk mail. Just don't jam papers in. You wouldn't want to do that with ANY shredder for that matter. I recommend the shredder lube sheets. They come about 12 per pack and are well worth it. They go a long, long way. I purchased mine with my shredder and I still have about 4 left.

If you're on a very tight budget or even have a small home business and are just starting out, you can go with this shredder. Just treat it kindly and it will serve it's purpose until you're ready to upgrade.

An end note: whoever says shredders are "messy." Well, I would say, all shredders are a bit messy as they shred - you expect a bit of a mess. This model however, was not extremely messy. I found it be easy to clean and dump the shredded papers.

Does a good job in shredding pappers, cards etc. Somewhat on the noisy side but it is well worth the money when you purchase it on sale.

product performs just as advertised. no surprises so far, and perfectly suitable for everyday or occasional shredding, as long as you don't need to exceed two minutes or so at one time. very good for the money.

I previously bought a Mail Mate shredder from Staples and really liked it because it was small and sat on the counter for easy shredding of junk mail, etc. It was mighty enough to shred credit cards, CDs,etc. Unfortunately it just stopped working one day and I couldn't find another like it, so I purchased this current shredder. I like it, but wish I could find the other one again, mainly because of the size. This new one has to live in the office instead of the kitchen.
