Aurora AU875XA Paper and Credit Card Shredder with 3.7-Gallon Wastebasket, 8-Sheet Cross-Cut with Basket

I went through years of shredding. This thing works as promised. It does overheat after about minutes of non-stop use. But it cools down quickly and even has a light to let you know. The shredder itself is heavy so be warned. It's easy to clean though and doesn't take up too much space. All in all, it's a beast and we'll with the money spent.

This is quiet. It’s great quality. A very good price and works very well. I use it to shred the mail. I do not want.

Very nice and quiet. Only inconvenience is you have to lift the top of the shredder off to empty the basket, but it’s not too heavy.

This shredder was purchased to replace one of the same brand and basic style that was 10+ years old. Old one was fantastic, and was still running (plastic encasing blade failed, not the shredder motor or blades). In catching up my back log of shredding I've filled the bin 1.5 times already and have a good feel for it compared to the old one.Pros: Seems a bit quieter (not that I expect a shredder to be quiet). Shreds efficiently, and runs through more pages at a time than the old one.Cons: The old shredder had a flap over the input that you could open in case of a jam and access - which I had to do on more than one occasion. I'm sure it's due to safety, but if I can't unjam it at some point because of this, I will be very unhappy with this purchase. Second, the old one had a wider access for paper, meaning I could run very quickly run through my shred stack. This one is VERY narrow and takes precise aim to get the paper accepted, which makes this shredder less efficient than the old one despite taking more pages at a time, due to being slower about receiving the pages.Would I buy it again? In general this one seems to be pretty good, and I would buy it again if there wasn't a better option available. However, if I found another one like my old one, no I wouldn't buy this one again. Or if I discover this one doesn't have the longevity of my old one, no I wouldn't buy this one again. The old one was just superior, but this is a good second place.

this is a replacement shredder so i was skeptical. but it is better than the old one! faster, more quiet. i really like it!

The shredder arrived well packaged and intact. Set-up was extremely easy and the product manual was well written and to the point. I had this shredder working less than 3 minutes after unboxing it. It is also fairly light and is easy to move around...I do wish the wastebasket had slightly larger grips though.It is fairly quiet and it easily shredded up to 6 sheets of typing paper at one time. I really like the "auto" setting...the printer remains off until you insert paper, then it does its thing and immediately shuts off..so to not go over its 3 minutes of constant run time I'd suggest to you to use this mode.I visited Aurora's website in order to register the product, but could not find an area to do that so another suggestion is to simply print out your Amazon receipt, place it in an envelope and tape it to the back of the shredder's wastebasket in case you ever need it. A standard one year warranty covers the electrical components but the cutting blades are warranted up to 5 years....so keep that receipt.One more tip.....read the manual and note what items you should NOT put into this shredder. Basically it's common sense but read over the items anyway so you do not damage your new shredder.I give this Aurora shredder a full FIVE STAR rating, and I would definitely purchase another one and would certainly recommend it to friends and relatives. For the price you pay you receive a very nice product that if taken care of, should last the average homeowner years and years.

Shredder works great. Nice compact design.

I have had this shredder for 5 years, and everything was fine until I tried to shred a Chase Amazon card with metal in it. I almost broke it. I was finally after a few days able to get the card out that was stuck, and not shredding. Beware if you buy the shredder. It is fine, but no credit cards with metal in it!
