Aurora AS810SD 8-Sheet Strip-Cut Paper, CD and Credit Card Shredder Basket

Great buy. Grab it before its out of stock. I did couple of searches for a good Shreder and found that all of them with all shredding capabilities are almost for 50 bucks. I found this and read all the reviews and got this product. Am using this since couple of months and found it great with No trouble at all. Adavantages: 1] Shreds almost 8 to 10 pages simultaneously. 2] Also easily shreds unopened envelops which contains the dummy plastic credit cards. 3] Shreds CD/DVD into 4 to 6 pieces. One at a time. 4] Shreds Credit Cards. One at a time. 5] Shreds Stapled bunch of papers. 6] All this for a price 29.99 bucks is a WORTH. Cons: 1] CD/DVD is cut into couple of pieces. So if its your personal CD/DVD you might need to shred the shreded peices too. 2] Same goes with important credit cards. 3] But no worries its just an extra additional one time effort. Grab it :). Overall its awesome and I found no real cons. in it. Its a shredder with all features at a price of only paper shredder from many other brands. So, close your eyes and grab it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Update: Feb 23rd 2012 12:48PM EST Guys it was long time back I purchased this product. Now my brother is using this shredder and it is still working fine but these days AmazonBasics shredder are looking good for the price. I have recently ordered AmazonBasics 12-Sheet Cross-Cut Paper/CD/Credit Card Shredder with Basket and will post its review after using it for couple of weeks. Thanks.

In our house we have something referred to as "cardboard mountain." I am a bulk shopper and also frequently buy things online. This influx of cardboard is far more than our normal recycling bin can handle on a weekly basis so the excess cardboard began getting stacked one day in the corner next to our kitchen garbage. The mountain grew bigger and taller each week over the past year or so despite my best efforts. Recently I saw someone on Facebook post about using this shredder to break down their cardboard. I took a chance and bought one because any way to remove that heap of recyclable eyesores would be a game changer. The day it arrived I was so excited! A shredder is a silly thing to be excited about but I had hated cardboard mountain for so long. I fired it up and sure enough, it ripped through the cardboard!! It can eat through most normal boxes/Amazon/etc. with easy, including the very package it came in! Heavy duty boxes not so much, but that's ok by me. It runs for about 15-20min at a time before needing to cool down which is plenty in normal circumstances (took quite a few goes to chew through the whole mountain) and its fairly easy to cut boxes down to the width of the opening. This shredder has given me the corner of my kitchen back and I no longer worry about guests looking at the looming stack of boxes representing my many many online purchases. I've tried recommending it to friends and it seems they don't share my problem, but hopefully someone here does. It's truly an excellent little device and for the price point, I'm happy with it regardless of how long it ends up lasting.

Bought this to help clean up the junk mail we get everyday. It's small enough to put in our dining area unnoticed. I can put through large junk envelopes, unopened or about 5 sheets max through this thing. It's a bit tiny so I'd say about 20 or so feedings 3-4 sheets each and you'll have to pull the top off to push the shredding down to fit more in. After about 15 minutes of continuous use, it will heat up and turn off. About 10 minutes later, you'll hear the wheels spinning again, which means it's good to go. It's also done a great job in shredding CDs and credit cards. Some shredders I've had 'attempt' to shred but they just make lines or indentations, this shredder cuts right through. I'm pleased with this little shredder for home office use. It's small, portable and it shreds the documents into little strips maybe a bit under 1 inch. I feel safer knowing any document with my name on it is shredded, including junk mail. I usually rip off the back page with my name and address, shred that, and just recycle the magazine or just shred the whole junk envelope completely unopened. If you're doing light shredding (or end of year shredding for your year's paperwork in small increments) then this shredder will work just fine. If you're looking for a more heavy duty shredder, you may want to look for something more heavy duty. I've also bought the shredder oil also from this site and for a couple bucks more, after each 50 pages or so of shredding, I'll drop some oil in there to keep the edges sharp and so far, everything has worked out just great.

Works extremely well. I have used it for over 1,000 pieces of paper without any problems.

I am very happy with Aurora shedder mach. It does exactly what it says. Run for 15 minutes ( maybe a little more ) and cooling time 2 minutes. And strip cut doesn't jam, much better than cris cut. I don't know how I didn't see the Aurora when I purchased the Woolschen which is a NIGHTMARE. Jam all the time, only runs for 5 minutes and 30 minutes waiting time to cool off. So stressful that I didn't return , I dumped it in the garbage. Do not recommend cris cut.

This is a great shredder. Sturdy and shreds quickly but it is a little loud. I’ve never had a shredder that was quiet though. I put 3 sheets of paper at a time to avoid jamming. It fits nicely in my closet while not in use.

I had purchased this for our home / personal use. I had read the reviews on the overall quality of the product. I still purchased the item knowing that prolonged use of the shredder for a long time can shut down. I do have a lot of shredding to do - about 8 years worth of mine & about 10 years for my husband. Then I have my parent's to work on as well. The basket is small for all the shredding that needs to be done and has to be emptied quite frequently which is a pain in the ass when you have a lot to do. What I have personally done is once I have scanned in the paperwork into the computer, I have a separate small waste basket for which papers needs to be shredded, and only shred for about 20 min. a day. It's a pain in the butt, but it works in preventing the overheating of the product. The Shredder does not cross shred, which could be a bummer, but does the CD's well & Insurance cards. I would recommend this to anyone for personal use. If you are a small business, then No I would invest in a larger one.

I'm very happy with this inexpensive but well-made shredder. I chose a strip-cut shredder to shred phone books, junk mail, and magazines for starting fires in my fireplace. It's faster than I expected. It can shred groups of phone book pages as quickly as I can tear them out. I used it heavily over the winter to shred the equivalent of about a 2-foot-high stack of paper. It's still running perfectly. The motor has thermal protection: if it overheats, it stops running until it cools down. Being run continuously, it can fill its basket twice before overheating and stopping. I have a few minor criticisms: It often doesn't fully eject the paper, so you have to pull the last strips out by hand before emptying the basket. There's a single sensor in the middle of the slot, so when shredding narrow items, sometimes it stops and you have to press the manual run button. It would be nicer if the basket were clear so you could see how full it is. The slot is only 8.75 inches wide, so some larger mailings have to be folded to be shred. I wish it were just an inch wider.

Bom produto, mas a largura do corte poderia ser menor. E não corta plástico devidamente!

Muy buen producto y llegó a tiempo. No tengo queja y para lo que dicen que ojalá y el bote fuera más grande entonces no sería apto para oficina y costaría más. Es cómodo para mover y funciona muy bien. Se puede adecuar a otro botes más grandes, trae como un extensor.

Cette déchiqueteuse fonctionne très bien, comme prévu pour un usage domestique.

I had no idea when I purchased this item that the plug would not be fit for UK . When purchasing this item , purchase a plug for it even though you don’t know what it requires until you receive this item .

excelente produto.
