Have only used this once to make sure everything worked as advertised. It is easy to use and sturdy. It was also marked down when I bought it. Am wondering whether or not I can put a plastic bag inside of it to catch the 'shreds'. Will try that before I get the receptacle filled up. So far, so good and will update my review with any problems. It is a little more noisy than I anticipated but that is OK with me. Highly recommended.

This paper shredder takes 12 sheets at a time, which is nice. I put some unopened thick junk mail in and it chugs away and shreds it up nicely. It has a cooling fan that runs almost constantly to lower the motor tempreture. It also has an overheat light so you know when to stop shredding for a while. It is small enough to comfortably lift and move around with its casters, but big enough to hold quite a bit of shredded papers. It makes some noise but they all do. If paper is too thick it will start backing up before it gets stuck. All in all I like it, worth the money.

I bought this for light use at home. It never was able to take 12 sheets and would overheat after using for 5 minutes at a time. I've had it for a few months and went to shred an envelope with 2 sheets of tri-folded paper which would be a thickness total of 8 sheets and the thing started smoking. I contacted customer service and they replaced it immediately and sent me some tips: 1. The maximum shredding capability of this machine is 10 sheets of paper (A4 size 75g/m2). In order to keep its smooth working and prolong its lifetime, please reduce shredding sheets if the material you will shred is thicker than standard print paper. For example, the normal envelopes are always thicker than print paper, it should be shredded separately from the paper in it. 2. This shredder is equipped with a motor overheating protection and cooling system, if the unit keeps shredding over its maximum continuous 4 minutes running time and become overheated to stop working, please don't pull out the paper you are shredding, just shut off the machine and let it cool down about 40 minutes, it will return to work again. 3. It will contribute to smooth shredding with inserting paper squarely, oiling the blades with shredder lubricant regularly, forwarding and reversing the machine to clear paper scraps and emptying the bin timely. 4. Note: Please do not spray any flammable gas or cleaner onto this shredder, it might leak into the machine which may cause fire or explosion as we reminded in the instruction manual. 5. We recommend to lubricate the shredder with professional shredder lubricant sheet or oil once every 30-minutes of accumulative shredding or at least twice a month.

This is a decent machine if you don't overload. I put more than 12 sheets of paper inside and it started to struggle to work. It was lucky that it was not broken with this try but I am sure I will never do that again.

I am very happy with this Bonsaii shredder. Although it is a little loud when in use, it shreds fast and we really like the full-length window on the front showing you how full it is. Once it gets about 3/4 full we just open up the bin and push everything down. We've had it two month now, use it at least once a day and have only had to empty the bin once. It shreds credit cards and CDs/DVDs with ease, the wheels make it easy to move, and we like that it has a removable bin rather than a pull-off top.

This is a great buy! The great reviews on this one drew me to it and I am happy to have chosen it. Great for the home and not too big to keep in the kitchen where I need it. I bought it with the lubricant sheets, which I recommend to keep it running smoothly. It completes the cross-cut real nice and the shreddings are small, just what I wanted. Highly recommend.

We get a lot of junk mail and credit card offers and wanted to shred these for privacy and ease of disposal. This little shredder is perfect for this purpose. It just arrived and I��ve already put it to use getting through a large stack of paper. It filled up the bucket and the shreds are pretty small, almost like confetti. It does jam if you try to stuff it too full, but 12-sheet cutter is definitely enough for daily use. So I think there is no chance to get it jam. If does jam, just use the reverse option to clean it out. This shredder meets all my needs on shredding, recommended.

I never thought I would need a shredder. But now I'm convinced it's a good idea. Throwing away papers or other documents can sometimes make me worry about that someone may pick the information on these documents for illegal purposes. Buying a shredding machine is a good solutio to it. And this Bonsaii item serves me perfectly.
