Easy to use, but heavy. I do like how well it works.

Shredder has a strong motor, runs quietly, and shreds a good deal of work w/o overheating. Much nicer than our previous loud and “wood-chipper” shredder.

When I purchased the Aurora 12-Sheet Crosscut Paper and Credit Card Shredder, I expected a modest tool for managing the clutter of my daily life. What I got instead was a formidable warrior of the modern office, a shredder so mighty it could have its own epic saga.Design: Sleek and Ready for BattleFrom the moment I unboxed this beauty, it was clear that the Aurora shredder meant business. Its matte black exterior, punctuated with intuitive controls, exudes professionalism. The 5.2-gallon wastebasket is not just a receptacle; it’s a bottomless abyss for the remnants of your secrets, documents, and expired credit cards. And the transparent window? It’s like a glimpse into the aftermath of a battle won.Performance: A Beast in Shredder's ClothingThe 12-sheet capacity isn’t a marketing gimmick; it’s a declaration. I tested it with thick stacks of paper, glossy brochures, and even junk mail with those annoying plastic windows. The Aurora ate through it all with the ferocity of a lion in the wild. Credit cards? Reduced to confetti in seconds. Staples? Laughable. Paperclips? Child’s play. The crosscut mechanism transforms your documents into tiny, illegible fragments, ensuring your data stays your own.Sound: The Whispering DestroyerUnlike other shredders that roar like jet engines, the Aurora is surprisingly quiet. It hums with the precision of a finely tuned orchestra, offering the perfect balance between power and discretion. It’s like watching a superhero dismantle villains in graceful silence.Capacity: The Hunger of a TitanThe 5.2-gallon wastebasket holds enough shredded material to fill a novella of destruction. Emptying it is a breeze, thanks to the pull-out design, which spares you the indignity of wrestling with a precariously balanced lid. Plus, the overheat protection feature ensures the Aurora never burns out during extended missions.Value: Worth Every PennyFor the price, this shredder delivers the kind of value that feels almost too good to be true. It’s not just a machine; it’s peace of mind, efficiency, and security bundled into one sleek package. Whether you’re a small business owner, a home office aficionado, or just someone with a lot of old receipts, this shredder is your ultimate ally.The Verdict: The Apex Predator of ShreddersThe Aurora 12-Sheet Crosscut Paper and Credit Card Shredder doesn’t just shred—it conquers. It turns mundane tasks into acts of triumph and transforms your workspace into a fortress of security. If you’re looking for a shredder that goes above and beyond, look no further.Rating: 12/10 – Shreds Expectations, Literally

Good price for a economical shredder that fits in any room and can do a lot of sheets at one time

I bought this after Christmas as our older one only shreds 4 sheets at a time. This new one does 12!! As long as you alternate between 12 & smaller bunches it works great. It can overheat but it only lasts for about 10 minutes and you go again. I absolutely love this one as I had 3 years of old credit card bills purged and shredded. When the new one was on a break I used my older one until it overheated. They basically worked in tandem and cut a lot of paper!! So happy to finally have a nicer shredder!!!!!

This shredder was purchased to replace one of the same brand and basic style that was 10+ years old. Old one was fantastic, and was still running (plastic encasing blade failed, not the shredder motor or blades). In catching up my back log of shredding I've filled the bin 1.5 times already and have a good feel for it compared to the old one.Pros: Seems a bit quieter (not that I expect a shredder to be quiet). Shreds efficiently, and runs through more pages at a time than the old one.Cons: The old shredder had a flap over the input that you could open in case of a jam and access - which I had to do on more than one occasion. I'm sure it's due to safety, but if I can't unjam it at some point because of this, I will be very unhappy with this purchase. Second, the old one had a wider access for paper, meaning I could run very quickly run through my shred stack. This one is VERY narrow and takes precise aim to get the paper accepted, which makes this shredder less efficient than the old one despite taking more pages at a time, due to being slower about receiving the pages.Would I buy it again? In general this one seems to be pretty good, and I would buy it again if there wasn't a better option available. However, if I found another one like my old one, no I wouldn't buy this one again. Or if I discover this one doesn't have the longevity of my old one, no I wouldn't buy this one again. The old one was just superior, but this is a good second place.

It's all you need for a home office, no problem shredding 6 sheets, or thin cardboard, it does the job and it's priced right, would definitely recommend.

Esta trituradora con excelente precio tiene un gran rendimiento, llevo mas de un mes con ella y aunque no la uso diario, cuando lo he hecho por mas'de 20 minutos no se sobre calienta, ni se apaga, pues es una de las funciones que tiene, apagarse automáticamente cuando está demasiada caliente. A pesar de que dice que es para 8 hojas,sugiero no introducir más de 5 (depende el grosor), esto ayudara a que haga menos esfuerzo y podamos trabajar por más tiempo. La recomiendo ampliamente pues está en un gran precio y tiene funciones que poseen otras del doble o más de su precio. También quiero reconocer la rapidez con la que me llegó (3 días) a pesar de ser un pedido inetrnacional.
