This cool looking shredder is good for shredding the occasional bank statement, credit card bills and other small papers that you don't want falling into unsavory hands. Makes a great deal of noise like most other shredders. Would not use it for heavy duty shredding duties. Fits nicely into most decors so you don't have to hide it in shame.

    I had way too much paper that I needed to shred. This did it seamlessly, had to empty it often but I started with a lot of paper. Now that I don't have much to shred, it's perfect for everyday use.

    Very good machine for the price. I don't use it every day so I can't rate it for office use but it works OK for me. It won't shred a great number of sheets but it wasn't advertised to do many.

          A:

          Cross-Cut means the paper is cut in diagonal strips.

      • Q:

        When I began using the shredder it would shred for about 35 min. The next time it shredded for at least 25 min without stopping. I read on the web that it last only 2 min. Should I not let it run 25 - 35 min. I am afraid it might stop working if I don't give it some cool down time.

          A:

          The recommended run time of this product is 2 minutes with a 30 minute cool down period. It is recommended to allow this product to run longer than the 2 minute run time, as it could cause your shredder to overheat.

      • Q:

        Red light on top stated overheating comes on after about 2 minutes of shredding and then stays on for about 7-10 minutes before going off. How can I cure this problem
        Asked on 5/16/2011 by Ken the busdriver from Bethlehem, Pa

        1 answer

        • CUSTOMER CARE

          A:

          As per the specifications, this shredder has a 2 minute continuous run time before needing 30 minutes of cool down time. As per the manual, you should allow this time to pass before begin shredding again in order to extend the life of your shredder.

          If you require a shredder with a longer run time and a shorter cool down period, you may be interested in item 612698 Swingline™ / GBC® SC170 12-Sheet Strip-Cut Shredder. This shredder has a 15 minute run time with a 20 minute cool down time. Item 707204 Staples® 24-Sheet Cross-Cut Shredder will run continuously for 26 minutes, but then it will require 60 minutes of cool down time.

      • Q:

        My shredder has started to squeak while shredding. Sounds like it needs oiling. Can I? With what?

        1 answer

        • CUSTOMER CARE

          A:

          It is possible to oil your shredder, it is most likely what is causing the squeak. Our shredder oiling options can be found at http://tinyurl.com/3f4qyct. If you would like to talk to someone about technical assistance to confirm that your shredder needs oiling and not repair then please call our Staples Brand Group at 888-736-2141.

        I removed shredder to empty waste basket and now it will not work. Could something be jammed? It worked fine before I emptied it. I don't even get a light indicator that it is on.

          A:

          You need to make sure the shredder part is on the bin tightly or it will not run.

        • VERIFIED BUYER

          A:

          IT POSSIBLY MAY BE A SAFETY SWITCH ON THE SHREDDER. TRY COMPLETELY REMOVING THE TOP OF THE SHREDDER AND RE-SEATING IT. THAT MAY RESOLVE YOUR PROBLEM.
