Bonsaii 8-Sheet Home Office Shredder

This shredder works much better than other inexpensive shredders. It does overheat after a lot of use but cools down in a few minutes. You can feed 8 sheets of paper easily. The only drawback is that the bin is not large so you have to empty it frequently.

 My mistake for not having an inner-standing of the title “stripcut”. I find it odd that out of all these great reviews, barely anyone makes mention that this is NOT a criss cross security type shredder. So, let me say if you are looking for a criss cross shredder, this isn’t the purchase for you. It makes long strips of shred that you can still read chunks of information. It does work well, and it has a nice, deep basket, however, I need a criss cross shredder.

This shredder replaces a larger one that I had that just conked out. It’s compact enough to fit under a table or desk. Shredding is fast, there is a cover where the blades are to keep fingers safe. I really like it!

It works great, got stuck once, but that was my fault. Worked out fine. Should have gotten a bigger bucket because it does fill out very fast. This is why I also have a large trash can next to it so I can dump all the shreds into the trash. Great Item

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.

Paper jams in the cross cutter blades you have to literally pull the paper out when you open the lid
Does not shred 8 sheets your lucky if you get 2-3 through without problems
Would not recommend this product.
