bonsaii6-Sheet Micro-Cut Paper Shredder, P-4 High-Security for Home & Small Office Use, Shreds Credit Cards/Staples/Clips, 3.4 Gallons Transparent Window Wastebasket, Black (C234-A)

Compact size but holds a lot since it shreds into tiny square pieces. Best feature is the HANDLE making it easy to remove the shredder top and empty the trash can. Thick or laminated credit card offers haven’t been a problem. I do separate the envelope and other parts without personally identifiable info and shred one page at a time. Using for home office works great. No issues with overheating. Recommend.Why did you pick this product vs others?:The handle, the price point & it does cards

It works for my paper shredding needs. It does only six flat pages at a time. It has worked great in gift cards, credit cards, and staples. It does auto shut off once it over heats. Then you just wait 40-60 minutes to let it cool down and you’re good to go. For me a general rule I use is once the basket is full I take a break. I have been able to empty the basket twice without stopping for a cool down break. The size fits well in our make shift office/closet in our apartment. It is a touch loud when in use but it’s a paper shredder not a paper silencer.

It works as expected. It is small/compact size, smaller than an office rubbish bin/trash can, which is perfect to put away in a place where there isn't a lot of space (like my apartment). Works well to shred a few documents at once. I didn't use it for a prolonged period, maybe 10 minutes? And it didn't heat up and didn't shut off. I went safe and made the groups of no more than 4 sheets of paper at once, and it did it quickly with no jamming. However, I was not using it as an industrial shredder, so I wasn't abusing. So, I guess that of you use it properly, you won't have any issues. Great value for the money!

After years of painfully ripping up documents by hand (and dealing with paper cuts and sore fingers), this shredder has been a complete game-changer for protecting my personal information.Why I love it:Effortless shredding: Handles 6 sheets at once, even with staples or small paper clips - no more pre-sortingSecure cross-cut gives me peace of mind that sensitive info can't be reconstructedCompact but powerful: Fits neatly under my desk but chews through credit cards and thick mailersThoughtful design: The built-in handle makes it easy to move when neededReal-world testing:Destroyed a year's worth of old bills and statements in under 10 minutesHandled a stack of old cards without jammingThe 3.4 gallon bin means I don't have to empty it constantlyOnly minor note: Like all shredders, it gets warm with extended use - I just give it short breaks when doing big batches.If you've been putting off proper document destruction because hand-ripping is such a chore, this affordable shredder makes protection effortless. One of those purchases where you immediately wonder how you lived without it!

It's a document shredder so there is really not a lot to say about it.Pros- Decent capacity- Easy to empty (literally just take the shredder off the top of the bin and empty)- Auto off- Shreds documents wellCons- Longevity (all depends on amount of use and abuse its a budget shredder)

There's nothing very elegant about a paper shredder - we just want to know that it shreds paper like it claims. And this one does that.The Bonsaii will accept up to a maximum of 6 pages at a time, and it claims to have no trouble digesting paper clips (which I've always had to remove with other shredders). Note that a folded piece of paper counts as two sheets! It will also shred credit cards. The feed opening is sized to take letter-size paper, short side first, and while I've seen people feed pages crooked, that puts a strain on the motor and cutters and may result in a jam. So try to feed paper where the shredder doesn't have to twist and fold the paper to take it in.I find the unit has plenty of power to handle normal shredding loads. I keep mine on "Auto" so it's on standby for me to feed paper to it as needed, and it works well.The shredder bin has a clear window to indicate the level of shredded paper, and you should empty it when it gets near full. Otherwise it might interfere with paper passing through the shredder head and cause a jam. Note that the shredder head must be installed on top of the bin to operate, as it has an interlock switch for safety. Also, it comes with a handy handle to help in lifting and moving the shredder head, a really nice feature.For home or small office use, this shredder should be entirely adequate. If you need more, or need one with wheels to move around an office, Bonsaii has larger models. This one gets all 5 stars from me!

This shredder works great. It can handle 6 pages at a time with small standard staples. It is noisy during operation like all shredders. It perfect for a home office. I’ve yet to have it go into “cool down” mode. If you’re trying to get caught up, it will take you some time. On this unit the hopper is small so be prepared to empty it often. I do recommend it.

works well, but i got it with a giant crack in the bottom of the basket and had to return for a new one.
