Amazon Basics 8-Sheet Micro-Cut Shredder Description
- Micro-cut shredder turns paper into tiny confetti-like pieces measuring 5/32 by 15/32 inches (4 by 12 mm); meets high security level P-4 standards; shreds 6x smaller than standard cross-cut shredders (2,235 pieces vs. 360 pieces)
- Shreds up to 8 sheets of 20-pound bond paper at a time (no need to remove staples or small paper clips); also destroys CDs, DVDs, and credit cards (one at a time, through dedicated slot)
- 5 minutes on / 30 minutes off; if shredder runs continuously beyond the max run time, it will automatically shut off to protect the motor from overheating

Does what its supposed to do. No complaints, although the 8 sheet designation might be a bit of a stretch. I’ve done 4 or 5 sheets and the machine slows down quite a lot. It’s struggling. It’s likely that 8 can be done, but that seems to put a lot of stress on the parts. I try to keep it in the 1-3 range.
The view window is nice, but it’s well below the max fill limit of the basket. And the cutter will stop once the sensor detects paper in close proximity to the base unit. So the window doesn’t seem worth the encroachment into the basket – it’s not flush with the basket, but intrudes a bit with hard right angles. At a 4 gallon capacity, the basket fills up quick so every little bit of space is valuable.
The window also snags light weight shredder bags. The bags are not necessary, but they do keep down the mess when emptying. But since the bags are just for paper, they’re extremely lightweight. Remove carefully since the basket is not smooth.

This is a great shredder. It was highly reviewed on NY Times Wirecutter and I can definitely see why.
Cuts paper into tiny pellet sized bits. No way anyone can find your personal info anywhere. Great features, for example it turns off when bin is full so you won’t overfill and burn it out, it is much quieter than our old shredder and I can remove the shredded paper cannister easily from the front to empty. I don’t wheel the base around, so that feature isn’t really useful to me, but I really like that the shredded paper cannister is easily removed and reinstalled from the front. I’ve had it a bit over a month and have put it through its paces doing my annual file clearing. I always made sure to only run 1 bin full of shredding and then let it rest for at least 1/2 hour. Rated as 8 sheet shredder, but I found that heavier weight paper needs to be limited to 4 pieces at a time. Not a deal breaker for me, as it does such a good job overall. Went through a ton of paper shredding and it is still going strong. Highly recommend.

Everything works well on this little shredder, perfect for a small office. Easy to set up. Controls feel a little cheap but nothing seems amiss yet. Shreds well.

Everything works exactly as advertised. It isn’t as heavy as others that are the size, but it is much easier to remove an empty the bin then others are. The wheels roll nicely to get it out of the way when I don’t need it and haven’t handy when I do. Stop looking and just buy this one.

Easy to handle and is not too loud. Shreds paper and credit cards easily. Excellent product for the price.

Powerful. This shredder could eat my old one, then shred a ream of paper (*)
When I say …eat my old shredder … that is hyperbole. And the ream after? Hyperbole — it still could, but that ream fed in at the 8 pages a time, per suggested limit.
What I’m getting at, is this thing is powerful, easy to feed paper in because it’s got a smooth groove to follow, and it eats and eats and keeps on eating. Be nice to it, though, and keep to the limit and don’t overheat it, so it can impress you for a long time.
I have had MANY shredders, and they all basically did the job. This one is downright impressive. The lights help you to sknow when it’s time to let the motor cool, or a jam happens (bent over pages, anyone?) But a quick reverse and it resumes working just fine. I am so impressed and …. relieved.
Finally, a shredder that doesn’t give me stress!

Overall this shredder works great and is easy to move around. However after almost a year the automatic sensor stopped working properly. It automatically turns on a few seconds after switching on the unit, and doesn’t stop at all after the shredding is done and I have to switch it off manually. I’ve tried cleaning the intake and greasing the shredder but still no improvements.

The media could not be loaded.
 I bought the 8-sheet model about a year and a half ago for about $75. It makes your sheets of paper into tiny little bits. The bits are really small, most pieces have one or two letters on them at most. I doubt even CSI would be able to reassemble my secret documents. It’s a huge improvement over my old strip shredder.
It’ll do 8 sheets at a time but it doesn’t seem happy about it. I usually keep it to 2-4, and feed more in as needed. It’s pretty small (small office garbage can sized). The wheels are nice if you ever need to give it a nudge.
The bin holds a great deal of paper, and it has a window on it so it’s easy to tell when it’s getting full. Once it is full, the shredder will stop working until you empty it. But it’s best to empty it before it gets completely full, otherwise the contents tend to spill out everywhere. In addition to single sheets of paper, it will also shred thin cardboard pretty well (shredded cardboard makes a great shipping material).
Problems? Not really.
It generates a lot of dust, but I’m sure that’s true of all shredders.
It could be a bit quieter, but it’s not bad.
I’m sure the more powerful models are better, faster, maybe even quieter. But right after I got this, I shredded about 5 bags’ worth of random bills, financial statements, top secret documents, manifestos, and master plans that had been hanging around. It took a while but it did the job.
I’m not sure you can get excited about something like a shredder, but this one is pretty good.
