Every good, as instructions say, try and keep papers down the center and it shreds just like my previous more expensive different brand. Use your oil or lube sheets periodically and all will go well. Love the handle, much safer than even more expensive brands. When emptying basket other brands had hanging paper from cutters. This one leaves very few if any.

Found this at Bonsaii (shredder C209-D) and it ended up being less expensive than anywhere else. If it's too good to be true you know you are in for trouble, but sometimes (rarely) you get a surprise. This is a great small home-business shredder. Have put it through the paces this week and am pleased with the purchase. Shreds smoothly, so far no jams. Relatively quiet, no shredder is silent. Takes the 10 pages at one time like a champ. Like cross-cut better than strip and with this one you won't be able to paste the pages back together, shreds them up nicely. Great little shredder.

This little shredder has worked like a champ. I've put it though some vigerous shredding and so far it's been great. I have been shredding all my mom's old files and trust me - she had a lot .. 3 four drawer cabinets full plus some. Have probably shredded at least a dozen 30 gal garbage bags of shredded paper so far with this shredder. Sometimes it may get 10 sheets and other times less - like 5 or 6, depends on the handful. It also shreds a lot before it gets overheated and then it only takes about 10 to 15 minutes to be running again. I shredded for 3 hours straight before it overheated but was having to take bills out of evelopes so there was a minute or so between shreds. Only time it overheats is if you're feeding papers in one batch right after another with no small break. Had already burnt up another brand which I thought was very good and looked for that brand but couldn't find a good price on it. Bought the Bonsaii due to it's price and paper capacity. Actually glad I did as it has been great. I would give this little jewel a 10 star rating. Also these guys were extremely quick at getting it shipped to me.

I spent some time reviewing shredders before purchasing the Bonsaii C209-D. I like the pull-up handle which makes for ease of lifting as others I've used did not have this making it difficult to maneuver when removing from the body. There were other models out there at several times the cost of this one, however, I believe that this one was spot on for what I needed. I have been able to shred credit cards giving me peace of mind rather than my previous method of cutting with scissors. This product looks to be built to last so I may not need a new one for a long time but should the need arise or someone I know need one - I will certainly recommend Bonsaii for their shredding needs! Thank you!

Bought recently and am happy with the unit so far. Ran it for over 3 hours of shredding old tax files etc. from the mid 80's onwards. Happy to see that you could shred papers that were stapled without the hassle of taking them off also. It stopped a couple of times due to overheating and glad that that function worked. It also sawed its way through credit cards easily. We shall see how the durability is in the future for normal everyday use.

Good. Like it. I like that it opens at the top to empty.

Good at shreading paper

It is quieter than my old shredder. There is a handy handle that makes it easy to remove the head from the basket. A plastic trash bag can be used inside the basket with no issue. Overall the unit seems to be good quality. The 10-sheet capacity is a little optimistic. 10 sheets slows it down to a crawl. 8 sheets is more realistic. There is no "ON" switch, only an "AUTO" switch. Auto only works if the paper is inserted in the narrow spot where the paper sensor is located. That's not a problem with a full width sheet, but shredding a check or envelope requires it be inserted in the slot where the sensor is located.
