Aurora 8-Sheet Cross-Cut Shredder

Plenty of power for home use. Very easy to use. Capacity is nice. Feed it normal & it will keep its cool & not clog. Appears durable & safe

 This is a great investment especially in this era when identity theft is a big issue. Shreds paper/cards easily. Even though the description says we can load 8 sheets together, haven’t tried loading more than 5 at a time. Never had heating issues as I don’t use it continuously for long periods

This is in my office and I could not think of a single negative to say about it.
It is compact, easy to use which is important because I am blind. It is nicely designed and looks very good in my office.

Primeramente, llegó un día antes de lo planeado. Bien empacado, con indicaciones útiles de dónde están las cuchillas, fácil de armar. Lo utilicé casi al momento en que llegó y funcionó a la perfección: aún no he probado la funcionalidad de triturar tarjetas de plástico, pero pude triturar hasta seis hojas de una sola vez. No recomendaría que intentaran con más, aunque supuestamente soporta hasta ocho. El contenedor es bastante grande, sólo tuve que vaciarlo una vez que terminé (trituré unas 100 hojas aprox).

La única desventaja que le he encontrado es que el instructivo viene completamente en inglés, lo cual pudiera ser un problema para una persona monolingüe. De ahí en fuera, lo recomiendo ampliamente. La relación precio-calidad es muy buena.

Performs fairly coarse cross shredding but does the job. Supposed to take 8 sheets at a time, but I keep the load to 1-2 so that it does not strain. Fast enough for my needs. I generally let shred material accumulate until there is a copy paper box full then have a session. This machine has not stalled or overheated so I have not had to wait for the cool down time described in the booklet that comes with it. I lubricate the cutters before each long session with vegetable oil in a dropper distributed across the blades. The container is small for my use, but easy to empty and continue. There is a safety interlock that detects that the cutter head is installed properly on the container. It is noisy, but not excessively so.

Had one a few years ago, love it. Motor stopped. Went to look for it and found it again at lower price. It cuts well, super sharp, can do a trash bag worth of documents before overheating. Not the fastest shredder but very usable for the price

Unit is fairly durable but a bit top heavy, so ensure it’s on stable ground. Shreds pages with ease, thin card and is unphased by staples etc. it has a section for credit cards which it manages easily. Not the quietest, but to be expected. Definitely worth the money. Great buy.
