Bonsaii Paper Shredder for Home Use, 8-Sheet StripCut Home Office Shredder, CD/Credit Card Shredder Machine with Overheat Protection, 3.4 Gallons Wastebasket

This paper shredder was just the right size I needed for my small apartment. The instructions and functions of use were clearly written in the manual provided. The machine has safety features and instructions and will shred up to 8 regular sheets of paper with ease and no jamming so far. The CD/DVD slot works great. I purchased sharpening and lubricant sheets to maintain the shredder functioning in tip top shape. I'm happy with this quality shredder and highly recommend it.

This inexpensive (about $32) BONSAI STRIPCUT SHREDDER really does destroy CDs efficiently. I had about 200 very old CDROMs and DVD-Rs containing backups that I could no longer read, because my current PC doesn't even have a CD drive. This little gem cuts them into three wide strips (see photo of center strip), which isn't sufficient shredding if you're a cryptocurrency billionaire, but is enough for an average household. I make my scraps a bit more secure by mixing them with unpleasant stuff in the household trash. The shredder easily handled a dozen discs at a stretch, fed one at a time, without overheating. I spaced out my sessions because I've broken a lot of shredders by working them too long and hard. In fact, I've dulled the blades of a powerful crosscut shredder by feeding too many CDs, so that it no longer shreds them at all. This little gem solved my disposal problem, when it was out of the question to try to cut up so many discs by hand.

it works well, but has some limitations: the 8 sheet limit is basically controlled by a limit of the max thickness of what you are shredding, not the number of pages. this limitation makes it kind more difficult to insert your papers... it takes some time to master the trick. the second problem is that when it gets too hot, it shuts down, asking you to wait 15 minutes. The other shredder we had before, when it got too hot, it simply stopped working. So this auto shut down, ends up been helpful.

This is my second shredder as I destroyed the 1st one of same brand name. It worked great until the severe clog took place and attempting to remove the clogging didn't help; guess I burned up the motor before realizing it was clogged up. Eight pages is a lot of paper to shred at one time using this shredder and I didn't want to risk the same situation after learning my lesson. I only used two sheets at a time and put it through and the shredder accepted it with no problem. I did tear off any staples attached prior to shredding to be safe this time around and the light stayed green while using it. I had a lot to shred up after cleaning out last years old files, so it got a good workout. Just make certain the shredder container is emptied as soon as you notice the strips coming to surface as it could get caught back up in the shredder and cause a clog. I did enjoy working with the shredder and did not experience any woes as the 1st time around, so I'd say any issues I experienced was of my own making. It is noisy, but I can handle that. It did what it's suppose to do w/o any complications. The shredder also is lightweight enough to carry and work with in any area. I chose the kitchen so I could easily sweet up any paper shreds. Another nice thing about using a paper shredder is paper burns faster and is easy to ignite helping a fire get started and burn much faster; especially during the winter months standing in the cold weather. In a zone free country lifestyle, we can burn our paper which aids in using less landfill space and we have glass, metal etc., to dispose of. We never leave a fire unattended while burning. I would also suggest not to shred any papers that have sticky glue, sticky labels or that rubbery type that allows other paper to stick to, just to make sure the paper doesn't gum up the shredder. Having treated the shredder responsibly will allow it to work well and be a good investment for a long time.

Excellent to have and require little space.

Paper Shredder⭐⭐⭐ (3/5 Stars - Compact Design, Low volume) I got the shredder for a small home office. Overall, I have mixed feelings about this machine. The Good: Variety of items to shred: The shredder allows paper, CDs, envelopes, and credit cards. Compact Design: It's compact and relatively quiet compared to older shredders. To remove paper inside, you can easily remove the top lid. The Bad: Severe Jamming Issues: Despite being rated for 8 sheets, this machine jams constantly when feeding only 5 or 6 pages. This forces immediate use of the reverse function and manual paper removal. Overheating: The frequent jamming causes the unit to stop entirely until paper is cleared. Even a small stack of papers becomes a prolonged task due to having to keep clearing the shredder. Shredding Mess: When jams occur or the bin gets full, long, un-shredded strips of paper hang from the cutting head, creating a messy cleanup. Verdict: A decent shredder if you need to shred 1-2 sheets at a time, but its poor capacity makes it frustrating for moderate volume shredding.

Works good, shredded bunch of unneeded docs and expired credit cards.

Si funciona bien.

This is a very good Shredder. Works really well.

This paper shredder works like a charm - the paper is cut into longs strips that transfer to recycle bags with little mess. It has the ability to cut credit cards too which comes in handy. Great machine

The seller was very quick and kindly refunded my money when it was discovered the shredder wasn't designed for Australian 240V AC power. Due to their good service, I would definitely purchase another product from them.

It shreds, the base is a little unstable as its narrow and its all top heavy but for the price thats totally fine, it does the job just fine!
