About Amazon Basics 6-Sheet Cross-Cut Paper and Credit Card Home Office Shredder
Overall Feedback:
74% positive
75% were satisfied with the bin capacity, however, 25% weren't
I suggest that the shredder is only suitable for occasional use and not for shredding a lot in one sitting.
I would not recommend trying to load in the supposed 6 paper maximum as it can lead to jams.
I noticed that the bin full light automatically went on and it won't go off. The bin is completely empty - it's not full.
76% highlighted the jam prevention, but 24% remained dissatisfied
I can handle 11 sheets fine, but it could easily jam if they are not aligned straight.
Based on my experience with other shredders, I recommend not loading more than 4 papers at a time to avoid jams.
85% appreciated the shredding speed, but 15% did not
I have compared the shredding speed of two shredders. The 12 sheet shredder runs a few seconds after the sheets have completed running through, whereas the 6 sheet stopped immediately.
72% found it quiet to operate
This shredder is not very loud, but it does have a distinct motor sound when shredding.
83% liked the shredding capacity however, 17% didn't
The shredder goes slowly with 6 sheets and sometimes leads to jams.
