Aurora AS810SD 8-Sheet Strip Cut Paper/CD/Credit Card Shredder with Basket

The shredder works great. Sometimes if you only put one sheet of paper in you have to move it around before the sensor picks it up. It does a great job shredding CD's and old credit cards. :)

First, the most important thing: I never put more than 6 sheets through this at a time (it says it can handle eight). I used it only for home shredding: old bank statements and so forth, so it was really only lightly used. In other words, this is not a case of someone buying a low-end shredder and complaining if it breaks when trying to shove 84 pages through it at once.

The nitty gritty is this: After perhaps 100 total sheets of paper over the course of a few weeks, it just quit working. Reverse setting still works, but that's hardly helpful since reverse doesn't shred. Having seen all the great reviews, I'm very disappointed in this product. Note: this does not do "confetti" or "cross cut" shredding: it shreds things into long strips. Additionally, the CD "shredder" did not actually shred or even break the CD, but rather, simply engraved scratches on it. I could have done that with a utility knife without bothering with a shredder.

In summary: Not recommended.

I love this shredder! It even shreds cd's. This product is very efficient. Shipping was prompt.Aurora AS810SD 8-Sheet Strip Cut Paper/CD/Credit Card Shredder with Basket

Works just like the more expensive models. I'm teaching a class that stresses getting out of debt by not using credit cards any more. This shredder has chewed up over fifty of our student's credit cards with no problem. It's a money saver in more than one way!

This shredder does what it was advertised to do. It is fast, easy, quiet and good for home use. I have not had any problem with it. I use it every day and hope to soon get all my backlog of shredding done.
