HP - Micro Cut Paper Shredder, 12-Sheet Manual, 150-Sheet Auto Feed

I have had a few shredders for home use, but this is by far the best so far. Easy to load documents and the capacity is good.

Excellent product. Highly recommend. When it jams, you almost know it was your own fault, but easy to fix. Tends to overheat if you overload it but again, human error. When the drawer says full, you just compact the contents down and keep going. I wish it had a handle on the tray which would make one-handed emptying into a plastic bag much easier.

My older micro cut shredder lasted about 20 years. However, that one filled up fast and was very noisy and heated up after 10 minutes of continous use. This shredder is much better. It has a built in fan for cooling which means longer run time before getting hot. It is super quiet and powerful. The only negative thing about the auto-feed feature, is that when you load multiple sheets, even though I loaded them nice and neat and organized, the auto-feed will grab more than it can chew and clogs easily. It is also a bear to unclog. So, I only load about 10 sheets at a time. But the bottom of the bin does hold quite a lot of shreds. It also lacks one safety feature that my older shredder had. There is no pull-out-key. Kind of like treadmills. So, if you have kids, you will need to umplug it and slightly pull out the bottom bin to completly disengage the motor. Overall, I am very happy with the purchase so far.

Does a great job, as described.

The shredder is great but I would not have bought it with this annoyingly bright LED. It's so bright it hurts my eyes to look down when I'm shredding anything. I put a piece of black tape over it to cover it and the light still shines through (it's more tolerable now). Everything else about the shredder is fine, just the light is abnormally bright. If covering it didn't dampen the light, I'd have returned it.

All I can say is "Wow" this unit shreds paper very well in both the auto feeder (up to 200 pages - using flattened pages) and the manual feeder. It has a very large 7 gallon hopper for shredding pieces. Not too loud either. Love this unit. Only ran about 1.5 teams (approx. 750 pages) so far but am very impressed. No jams at all.

Does exactly what my cheaper shredder wouldn’t do…shred without the smaller motor whining and groaning!

Great size. Great height. Arrived fairly quickly and also broken. One of the basket hooks for holding a bag arrived with one side broken off. It was inside the basket. #superdissappointed
