Addendum: I solved the static electricity problem. All it took was some aluminum foil and a kids’ glue stick. I lined a strip of foil inside the collection bin, over the back, covered most of the back of the bin, and continued onto the bottom. That then contacts a strip on the bottom of the housing that comes out the front and drags the floor. (Not really visible when the collection bin is in place.) It’s been glued there over six months and is still firmly affixed, (though I smeared the glue pretty liberally). ___________
First, to the people wondering if they can use this to shred newspaper and light cardboard for composting: Yes, it works beautifully. (Read the room, Bonsaii — you should advertise this function!)
Several recommendations for shredding this type of material: 1. Determine the grain of the newspaper, ie, which direction you can tear it to get thin, straight strips. Fold your newspaper sections so you are shredding ACROSS the grain. Otherwise you may get strips winding around the shredding mechanism. 2. Shred 3-4 sections of newspaper, then alternate with some light cardboard. I find a 12 page section of newspaper is maximum when folded to fit the mouth of the shredder, and no more than a double thickness of cereal box type cardboard. 3. Lubricate the gears each time before emptying. Those return-reply envelopes that come in junk mail are perfect — put cooking oil in and let it coat the inside of the envelope, then shred the envelope. Run it backward and forward a few times to get any bits of paper to fall off.
Positive features: 1. It is very quiet. You can have a conversation while using it. 2. It shreds quickly and has a high capacity bin, so you can run through large jobs quickly. 3. There is a cooling fan, though I simply stop the session as soon as the fan comes on, rather than worrying about timing how long I’ve been using it. 4. The outside is attractive in appearance
Negatives: 1. The attractive appearance is at the expense of function. On the inside, there are unfinished fins of plastic protruding into the main housing and the storage bin to reinforce them, making it hard to keep clean. 2. It creates a lot of static electricity, and that makes the paper shreds fly around inside instead of only dropping straight down into the bin. It also causes them to stick to the plastic bin — both the inside and the outside. Then the paper shreds randomly reverse polarity and fly off into the room while you’re trying to empty the bin. It’s particularly a problem when the humidity is low. 3. The bin doesn’t fully fit into the shredder, because it’s designed to accomodate a separate bin for credit cards. (Like, how many cards do they think we need to shred? There’s no reason not to just design it so all shreddings go into a single hopper.) It is hard to empty shreddings with the credit card bin attached, it’s still hard to empty paper shreddings without it attached, since the shape of the main bin is irregular to accommodate it, and it lets even more paper shreds get outside the main bin if you don’t attach it. 4. The wheels aren’t free-rotating casters. It’s not as easly to drag it around as you might think. It really only goes back and forth in one direction.
All in all, I’ve had it nearly a year, and I’m still very happy with it. My shredding is completely under control.
I do hope they re-design the plastic parts to smooth off the fins so they can be wiped clean more easily, and to eliminate the credit card shredding bin.

The shredder is very quiet, easy to use, good safety features, rolls easily on casters. Makes a fine cut so good for sensitive documents. Easily shreds credit cards. Long running time without overheating. Easy to empty. Window to see when needs to be emptied. Very nice quality for excellent price point.

This shredder does what it says it can do. I’m happy I didn’t pass this up. Quiet and handles papers just fine. Fine cut pieces makes this a secure shredder. The only down size which isn’t a big issue is the small basket size. Not even close to a deal breaker. Makes it very compact. Pull out basket is a nice feature.

In November 2022, I made the unfortunate decision of purchasing a Bonsaii 240 Minutes 18 Sheet Paper 3S30 Shredder, hoping for a reliable and durable product. At first, it seemed like a great investment, but after just four months of use, the shredder completely stopped working. What a disappointment!
Naturally, I reached out to the warranty department, expecting a prompt and efficient resolution to the issue. Little did I know that this would be the beginning of a frustrating and seemingly endless ordeal. On March 29, 2023, I initiated contact with the warranty department, clearly explaining the problem with the shredder. I emphasized that it had abruptly stopped working while I was in the middle of shredding a file. No lights, no sounds—it was completely lifeless.
Hoping for a quick solution, I followed their instructions diligently. I sent them a video demonstrating my attempts to revive the shredder, including plugging it into the wall, turning on the power switch, and pressing the start button. Additionally, I provided all the requested information, such as serial numbers, manufacture dates, proof of purchase, and a shipping address for the replacement shredder.
However, despite my efforts, it is now June 14, 2023, and I am still without a functioning shredder. Throughout the past few months, I have repeatedly reached out to the warranty department, only to be met with constant requests to troubleshoot the shredder. The infuriating part is that the shredder has absolutely no power—it will not turn on, no matter what I try.
This entire experience has been an exercise in frustration, with the warranty department failing to deliver on their promises. It is deeply disheartening to see a company that initially appeared reputable and dependable turn out to be so unhelpful and unresponsive.
I strongly caution anyone considering purchasing a Bonsaii product to think twice. If this is the level of customer service and quality they provide, it is not worth the risk. I sincerely regret my decision to buy the Bonsaii 240 Minutes 18 Sheet Paper Shredder, and I hope this review serves as a warning to others. Save yourself the trouble and look for a more reliable brand that stands behind their products and offers satisfactory customer support.
UPDATE – 07-13-2023
Today I received a replacement shredder. I honestly had given up on getting a replacement. It is the exact model and is shredding away. I have adjusted my review to four stars. The shredder worked great when it worked. The long replacement delay has kept me from giving it five stars. If this one stops working I will update my review again.

It is sturdy, and works extremely well. I’ve only had this unit a few days, but so far so great. The directions are unpretentious, informing you you of what to do if thing go awry. It is simple to use. Also, the unit came in a precisely fitted box with protection Styrofoam.
