First, ordering was easy and shipping was instant. The C234-A was shipped & on its way the very same day that I ordered it. That's impossible to beat! Second, the shredder works great: A) The shredder is a very willing worker. I shredded between 2 and 6 letter size sheets at a time for over half an hour. I ran out of papers before the shredder was warm enough to open the overload safety thermostat. B) Since it's a micro-cut shredder, I expected that each sheet would take a long time. Actually, it shreds faster than my Shredmaster 309 strip shredder. Shredding one letter size sheet with the C234-A takes about 4 seconds. Adding more sheets to the stack doesn't slow the motor much, if at all & barely increases shred-time-per pass. I tried a credit card, expecting quite a slow down. The shredder didn't seem to notice. C) It has not jammed yet. Even with strips of paper 50 x 100 mm, it worked fine. (On other shredders, narrow strips often go sideways and jam.) Third, the design is good, but some changes would be welcome: A) The handle on top is convenient for taking the shredding machine off the basket for emptying. B) The window in the basket is helpful. (Plus, it's fun to watch the confetti shoot down from the cutters.) C) The unit's weight is too too heavy to easily pick up and not too light to tip over easily. D) The size is good- The basket's large enough to hold quite a lot of paper and the unit is small enough to tuck away. E) I'd love to see a way to attach the basket to the machine so the whole unit can be picked up by the handle. I suppose a strip of hook & loop fabric, such as Velcro, on each side (connecting the head to the basket) would suffice. Alternatively, handles molded into the basket would be handy- if the unit was carried upright. F) I'd be happy to have a slightly larger basket so that a paper grocery bag would fit, but with a little trimming & folding, one will fit. Security for your documents is excellent. The cut pieces are not only tiny, they come out very wrinkled. Reassembling a sheet from even a single shredded page would be a formidable task, but if several sheets were shredded, and the cuttings stirred, assembling them would be enough work for the bad guy to go elsewhere. Do you want even more security? Here are some ways to "Have Fun With Shredded Pages": A) Stir the cuttings & empty the basket into two different batches of recycling materials. B) Send part or all of the shreds into the garbage disposer. It's time consuming- but will work. C) Flush them, or at least part of the load. D) Compost Pile! E) If only paper was shredded, dump them on the lawn before your next mowing. Set the mower to mulch. They'll end up well spread & will decompose very quickly. For fun, I tried this once. The paper chips weren't noticeable at all. F) Is it autumn? Mix them in the leaves that you rake and send for composting. G) If all the shredded items are paper, mix them into the garden or potted plants as a soil amendment. I'll use it with vegetable plants if I know the ink's origin country. In the United States, nearly all black printer ink & toner is made of carbon and a degradable binder, such as linseed oil based varnish. The U.S. EPA mentioned that the only toxicity to printer ink is that it may cause eye irritation. The coatings on glossy sheets are usually clay based. Those are safe, but decompose more slowly. Also, don't use the first several pages for soil amending. The cutters come from the factory with grease which ends up on the first pages. To me, this shredder does a fine job with security, so unless I have some soil to amend, I simply send the shreds for recycling. Summary: I was very, very surprised at not only the quality of this shredder, but also with the excellent service by the people at Bonsaii- both before and after the sale. The price also was amazing! Happy Shredding!

Shipment was fast. I tried it immediately and it works great for my needs of just a few sheets. I haven't tried shredding the 6 sheet maximum yet, but it easily shreds the 1 to 2 sheets I usually do into tiny pieces. It's pretty quiet and I like the compact size compared to the old shredder.

It has been great at shredding and keeping my privacy. Got rid of a number of credit cards. It does get pretty dusty from the paper after a while. Probably need a small plastic bag inside to collect the shredded items.

The C209-D is one of the best shredder I ever had. I've only had it a couple weeks but I have run a lot paper through it. It seems very simple to use, and guides the paper in very easily. It is a clear improvement over the one I replaced. I would recommend this The Bonsaii C209-D for home small office use

THIS WORKS BETTER THAN THE MORE EXPENSIVE ONES I HAVE BOUGHT IN THE PAST, THANK YOU

This replaced a larger Royal 9 page shredder that finally overheated and died, and this one is way better. It never stops and you can shred documents all day long with no jams or stoppages. It makes nice small shreds that we can use for gardening much too.

I am very pleased with my Bonsaii shredder. Just love that it shreds into tiny pieces, no way anyone can piece that back together. Online ordering was quick and simple and delivery was super fast
