I work from home and often handle sensitive materials so I need a sturdy cross-cut shredder. This is my second one from Aurora. The first was a model AU1210MA which lasted just over six years with heavy use and probably could have been repaired but for $188.00 I decided to upgrade instead. This one has similar features but is a bit larger, with a seven gallon basket, and has the same 60 minute continuous run time (for real, not just a marketing claim). I'm impressed by the sturdy build, anti-...

I have received no compensation for this review; when I buy a product that does what the advertising says it will do I like to let people know. My previous shredder conked out so I researched various sites and looked at 15 different models. I had 2 non negotiable features: a pull out basket and a capacity to shred 12 sheets. This model has both of those features; it is a BEAST and I love it! I first inserted 6 sheets just to be cautious and it handled those just fine so I upped it to 8 sheets...

Durable. Used for 6 months now and no worries. Works through staples and credit cards easily.

The Final Word

I’ve had this for a while now and it shreds paper effortlessly as it should and even plastic pieces like it should so unless something changes and I update this review this is a buy recommendation

My previous shredder finally died after many many years so I bought this as a replacement. I do like the smaller size, though I have to empty the bin more often. It shreds well, though I am also careful about how much I shred at one time. I did think it might shred the material a bit smaller, but I guess it is ok. I don't have super secret documents that I'm shredding :-)
