Bonsaii 12-Sheet Cross Cut Paper Shredder, Home Heavy Duty Shredder, P4 Security(5x20mm), 5-Minute Continuous Shredding, Shreds Credit Cards, Mails & Staples, 21L Bin(C275-A)

Amazing VFM. My old shredder kept jamming, so I ordered this and it whizzed through, much faster than expected. The capacity is great and the whole thing set up quickly so I was able to start shredding instanly. Perfect for my home office

I bought this to replace a lousy cheap thing in my office. My needs are modest. I have a Rexel domestic product at home that has chugged on for 20 years of self-employed duty, it shreds two pages at a time if they're not thick. It gets hot and is slow and easy to jam, but has been reliable. This shredder is about the same noise level as my Rexel, does cross cut pretty well, and has a good sized bucket for the shreds, with a window which is indeed very useful. It isn't particularly fast and it copes with maybe four sheets of paper, but I stick to two because more just slows it down, stresses the thing, and will reduce it's lifespan. It is listed as for light office duty, I think that's a good description. To me it's work is a few sheets regularly, with infrequent sessions shredding the odd ream of old files. If that is your workload, this will do fine. If you need something fast and dependable for regular office file shredding, can't take the time to remove staples &c, or need 12 sheets shredded at a time, I would suggest look at paying a fair bit more for a commercial-duty shredder which this does not pretend to be. It has a reverse 'always on' setting for clearing jams, but no 'always on' forward setting which can be useful. However, it stays on for a couple of seconds after the paper has passed through which goes a long way to clearing any impending jams.

I was replacing a small regular shredder where the blades had been dulled and I was frustrated with the bin size. This is a cross shredder, so although the bin is still on the small side it holds a great deal more. Now it says it might take 12 sheets but I wouldn't try it as it starts to labour over 4 sheets. It does a good job, it's quick and has saved me emptying it every 5 minutes. I'm not giving 5 stars because I think they have played with the truth about the 12 sheets, but otherwise I'm happy with it.

Update 7 months after below review. Still going strong and has had a few major shredding episodes. I use lubricant sheet every now and then. Still impressed. Just used for first time. Poor recent shredder purchases - some 'deaths' due to my mistreatment, some not. Impressed so far. It is heavy (heavy and quite large shredding head). Blades look a lot more heavy duty than previous shredders advertised as same '12 sheet'. Dealt with 10 sheets paper and some card (4 sheets ) for around 7 mins pretty constant with no problem at all - no overheating - didn't feel warm even. Shred size is often a bit bigger than advertised (around 30x5 mm, not 20x5mm - no problem for me). Bin top is flat all around (helpful if used for other purposes when not shredding). If you have it on 'auto' setting it 'shreds' momentarily when turns on when putting lid back on. Not noisy compared to others I've had. Found size of bin intuitively helpful in not overheating - emptying once during 7 min session allowed some cooling ? Shredded credit cards with no problem. Will update if problems found in normal usage (absolutely no sticky labels, no overloading etc) . . . . . fingers crossed.

Good easy to use shredder compact and easy to use at home. Have not tried 12 sheets I've stuck with less so it does over heat. Good value for what you pay for it. Still going at the moment which is good.

I swear this shredder has an appetite. I’ve fed it bills, old receipts, junk mail, and it chews through them all with a satisfying crunch that feels like revenge on clutter. The 12-sheet capacity is generous, and it never seems to choke or jam like my old flimsy shredder used to. It’s surprisingly quiet, which makes a big difference when you’re working in a small home office. The bin holds a fair amount before needing to be emptied, and the cross-cut design gives you that extra sense of security — no one’s piecing these bits back together unless they’re a puzzle master with a decade to spare. What I appreciate most is the peace of mind. In a world where identity theft is a real worry, having a reliable shredder is like putting a lock on your personal information. This one does its job brilliantly without fuss, and dare I say, I actually enjoy feeding it.

First impressions are good, one of my main reasons for making the purchase was the DVD shredding system, and this works quite well, breaking the disc into a number of strips efficiently. The paper shredder also works well and has already handled a large volume of paper, tearing it into small strips.

Excellent product and very sturdy - great delivery as well

Love this shredder! The conatiner is bigger than the average 4 gallon. It is super quiet and shreds like a dream (very tiny pieces) . But I specially love that it has a handle, which makes it so much easier to lift the top. I put a garbage bag in the bin and it's so easy to empty! I haven't tried to shred more than 4 sheets at once and it does that with ease. Perfect for my needs.

What an unexpected little BEAST this machine is!! For the price, this was an absolute bargain. High quality, heavy duty, does the job and looks neat and tidy in the corner. I bought it to shred cardboard for my garden compost. Hey, remember when shredders used to clog up on a few sheets of paper? LOL not this little guy! Chomping up cardboard like nothing. Now, it’s not a speed shredder like shoving one single sheet into a big office shredder but it’s still pretty fast and a whole hell of a lot faster than me doing anything with a box cutter. I went through several boxes within minutes without it overheating or anything. The first run, I produced 2+ bins of shredded cardboard without taking a break. The next day for the second run, I shredded some slightly damp cardboard and that made it overheat more quickly - I feel like that’s maybe not recommended lol. For best results, I ripped the tape and labels off of the boxes first. And tore them into more digestible sized pieces. I’m sure the shredder could handle whatever I threw at it but 1) the plastic tape can’t be good for the compost and 2) I didn’t want to deal with a jamming shredder.

Me encantó, ya lo utilice y tritura perfectamente las hojas de papel .

I bought this paper shredder to replace one that had given up the ghost. I've had it about a month, and I've been very pleased with the purchase. It's a good, sturdy model, and a convenient size that easily fits under my desk, and shreds multiple pieces of paper for without losing power. I have not tested it at 12 papers at a time, but it easily chews through 5-7 pieces with no difficulty. Definitely worth the money!
