Aurora AU608MB High-Security 6-Sheet Micro-Cut Paper Credit Card Shredder with 3.5-Gallon Wastebasket, 4-Minute Continuous Running Time, Security Level P-4

Very quite
very nice shredder and I feel confident that what has been shredded will remain shredded. I have a strip cut shredder but still did not feel safe that my info was actually unreadable. I have been wanting to get a micro cut shredder for a long time. This Aurora micro cut shredder was reasonably priced and affordable. Also chews up credit cards which I am very happy about. Very happy with this purchase well worth the money.

Excellent product
The shredder quality is good I was surprised on how it shreds the paper very small low noise all function work good it’s small but powerful well designed home use

Tiny, fluffy shreds
I had another shredder (Amazon’s Pick: https://amzn.to/41Y4YAc ) for almost two and a half years before it just stopped working/feeding the paper through. So I took to reading reviews of potential replacements yesterday. Queue the frustration of getting through tons of 5-star reviews only to find the 1-star foreboding/warning reviews to negate all that reading. It’s so hard to know what to buy, who to trust, etc., these days, especially on Amazon. I went with my gut and decided to try this one and I am glad I did. It arrived overnight, less than 24 hours later, and worked beautifully right out of the box.Now, I’ve learned with these things so I only fed it one sheet at a time. Never feed any home (or office, really) paper shredder more than 1 piece of paper at a time. It’s just best practice. Feed it credit cards at your own risk. Om-nom-nom the paper shredder chewed those pages nicely. Very satisfying shredding, if I do say so myself. I got through about a bin and a half’s worth of paper just fine. It did get pretty hot, considering, so I can see that it’s not meant for much more in one sitting without risk of overheating. So work in batches for a big job or just shred as you go day-to-day.The shreds are so tiny and fluffy! This makes really soft shreds if you’re looking to reuse as pet bedding or the like. Look, we know these things are temperamental, and none are perfect, nor will any last forever. But in the interest of saving you time and sanity, this one did not disappoint. I will update if anything wild changes about that assessment. It’s a little more than the last one I got ($45 vs. $30) but I do think it is worth the extra $15. (Oh and it’s much quieter!) Go forth with confidence, and may the shredding odds be ever at your favor.

Great shredder
Works great so far.

Over the last 15 years, I’ve owned 4 paper shredders:1) Init NT-PS0CC: Cross-cut, loud, not too bad, lasted 4 years2) Aurora AU1050XE: Cross-cut, quieter, light, lasted 4 years3) Insignia NS-PS10MC: Micro-cut, faster, not loud but not too quiet either, larger and heavy, lasted 6 yearsCurrent: Aurora AU608MB- Micro-cut (less dusty than Insignia NS-PS10MC);- Very quiet (quieter than Aurora AU1050XE);- Very fast (faster than Insignia NS-PS10MC);- Small and light;- Smaller wastebasket than all the other three, but that’s a plus because it’s easier to empty it (it fits more easily into regular-size plastic bags and it’s so light that even when it’s full of shredded paper you can empty it into a bag with one hand.Shredding 6 pages seems to be the maximum, but when shredding 6 it’s a tad slower, while shredding up to 5 pages at a time will get you the maximum speed (and it really is fast). It can handle about 8 minutes of constant shredding (if you do 5 sheets at a time – which lasts about 5 seconds – that’s about 60 sheets per minute or 480 sheets in 8 minutes). You can do three full wastebaskets before it needs to rest. That’s very good performance. At that point, it shuts down due to overheating (as most shredders do).The only downside is that it takes a while to cool down (after 8 minutes of constant work you’ll need to give it a 15-minute break before using it again).But at current price (CA$67.80 + tax) this is a very, very good purchase and I certainly recommend it.Cannot speak of longevity yet, as I just bought it recently.The only issue I had with it was the delivery. It wasn’t delivered by Amazon but Purolator instead and they delayed delivery twice (it was supposed to be ‘next day’, then at the end of ‘next day’ they rescheduled it for ‘the next day’, and at the end of that ‘next day’ they rescheduled it once again to ‘the next day’. Even though it had been on their truck for 48 hours, it arrived in mint condition as the packaging inside was good, holding the shredder in place tightly.

Unfortunately not for the UK as fitted with 2 pin plug so returned the item.

Para empezar, el tiempo de llegada fue muy rápido. Se suponía que tardaba seis días en llegar (porque viene de Estados Unidos) y llegó en dos.El funcionamiento, perfecto. El modo es automático, entonces la enciendes y no empieza a triturar hasta que el sensor detecta que estás metiendo hojas y se vuelve a apagar después de 4 segundos de no detectar hojas.Observación: vi un par de quejas porque al parecer les había llegado usada, porque había restos de papel, pero en el instructivo mencionan que por control de calidad, TODAS las máquinas se calan antes de salir de fábrica, por lo que pueden encontrar restos de hojas (en mi caso, no tenía ninguno).
