BONSEN Shredder for Home Office, 4 Gallons 8-Sheet Cross Cut Credit Card Shredder, Small Paper Shredder for Home Use, High Security Level P-4, ETL Certification (S3101)

Exactly as advertised. Neatly and securely packaged, easy to set up and does a nice job. It's reasonably quiet and eats through the paper, cards and small paperclips efficiently. The basket also does a nice job of keeping all the contents inside. I've had other shredders that seem to create a lot more paper "dust" which escapes outside of their mesh style containers. The solid container on this one prevents that from happening and the clear site glass on the front allow you to easily monitor when it's time to empty the bin. This is a solid purchase. Would definitely buy again and/or recommend.

This Bonsen shredder works great for shredding my junk mail and personal documents. I had no issues with jamming, it didn’t overheat, and it ran smoothly for 15 to 20 minutes. It easily shredded up to six sheets at a time. The noise level was definitely quieter than my last shredder, which I really appreciated. The bin size is perfect—not too big or too small—and it was easy to remove the top using the built-in handle, which made emptying the bin quick and hassle-free. I’m very satisfied with its performance and would definitely recommend this shredder.

COMMENTS:1. ARRIVED PROMPTLY2. WELL PACKAGED3. DAY ONE USAGE GREAT - SHREDDED ABOUT 6 PAGES AT A TIME4. GOOD MACHINE FOR SMALL OFFICE5. PROBABLY NOT THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR LARGE VOLUME USAGE6. BUT, FOR US, THIS SHREDDER IS GREAT!two months later: What a great shredder - still working fine - highly recommended!

It works very well. Easy to work.

This BONSEN shredder is the therapist I never knew I needed. It listens quietly, eats my past (up to 8 sheets at a time), and doesn’t judge me for that stack of unopened mail from 1989.Cut Quality: Cross-cutting like a ninja—makes paper look like it lost a fight with Edward Scissorhands.Heat Level: It stays cool under pressure. I’ve run it for multiple purge sessions and it didn’t break a sweat.Smell: No weird burning smell—just the faint scent of justice.Shredder Quality: Solid, sleek, and it shreds. Doesn’t look like a beast, but definitely shreds like one.Jamming Abilities: Rare. Like, unicorn rare. I fed it a credit card, a flyer, and a receipt sandwich, and it just shrugged and kept going.Bottom line: It’s compact, efficient, and reliable. 10/10 would feed it my tax documents again.

Right out of the box, once I had set it up & plugged the unit in, the shredder started running & would not shut off even when manipulating the switch. I found that some piece of debris had nestled in on the inner switch that makes the unit run. I simply pushed it out (unplugged) through the paper feed with a heavy stock piece of paper. I’ve used it twice since then with no problems. I’m happy with this. I do recommend this shredder for simple home use.Nice crosscut feature for extra security!Will update review if necessary.

Just received it a few days ago, and I’m already loving this quiet little shredder! It’s gone through my @12” stack of sensitive medical files, without overheating or stopping once. Had to empty 4 times as the small bin filled, but it’s easy - just dumped into a large paper bag for recycling (or composting?). And I like that’s small & fits right by my chair. And while I’m emptying the bin, it gives the machine time to cool down. I’m pleased with the tiny “confetti” it makes of my docs. Although it says it will shred many more sheets, I only shred 2 at a time; makes it run quieter and machine doesn’t heat up by working so hard. I will update in a few months as to its longevity, but as for now, I’ve already gotten my money’s worth. It arrived very well-packed: double boxed with heavy styrofoam fitted protection for motor unit.

Does a good job shredding. It is loud. I would not put 8 sheets of paper through it though. Overall for home use it works great.
