Aurora AU1285MD Compact Desktop-Style High Security 12-Sheet Micro-Cut Paper and CD/Credit Card/Junk Mail Pullout Basket Shredder, White/Black

I have a crowded study/office. Needed a desktop shredder that wouldn’t take up too much room. This shredder was perfect. It’s solid, does the job and looks attractive to boot. I tested with a credit card and the job was done in spilt seconds. So much easier to access than some spot on the floor. Another plus is how easy it is to dump the shredded paper. The higher price was worth it.

I measured my desk compartment and this was the only shredder that would fit and seemed good. It absolutely works! Shreds good and fits small spaces.

It’s compact but is so easy to use! It never gets too hot, and has not jammed once! Shreds credit cards with no problem!

This thing is a beast. I know there are cheaper shredders out there but spend a few more dollars and get one that destroys that paper trail. Once I drop my mail in this thing no one is going to get any personal info about me.

the only thing i dislike when you shred it get stuck and its not actually will shred the 12 sheets at a time. mostly you can shred is like 4 sheets the most. and other than that everything ok. its very heavy but i love it. only the shredding. just need to do it little at time so doesnt get stuck.

The shredder arrived fully assembled. I just removed the packaging tape on the pull out bin, plugged it in, and turned it on. I didnt waste time reading the manual. Everything was sensibly labeled/illustrated. I immediately placed it to the test: junkmail. The primary reason for why I purchased it. It handled junkmail like a boss. Absolutely no motor strain whatsoever. I didnt even take the junkmails out of their envelopes. I just placed them in the feed slot, individually of course, and the shredder chewed them all up. I like that the pull out bin is plastic, light weight, and completely see through with no peak-a-boo window. Its compact size was a perfect fit for a spot I reserved in the garage. Now junkmail doesnt stand a chance of ever making it into my house. I was incredibly shocked at how quiet it is. It could not be heard from inside the house. It is like Mercedes Benz S-Class quiet. For what I will use it for it is definitely worth it. I wasnt able to verify before I purchased it where it is made. Now that I have it, I checked: Made in China. Mmmm, wondering now if I should have purchased the protection plan.

Works well

Before this shredder, I assumed that all shredders just kinda had issues. This guy shreds like crazy, hasn’t jammed once and is oddly quiet in comparison.

This is the perfect shredder for home. Compact enough to where you can tuck it away yet sturdy and durable to handle numerous pages.

I wasnt disappointed. Got the extended Asuron warranty in case. Works great against spam mailers and cardstock, although I havent tried CDs or credit cards. I would have liked 20+ sheets at a time, but the cost wasnt worth it. Ill live with 12 sheets at a time.
