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

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.

I love it, however it arrived a little to late for me otherwise it is a perfect shredder for a small home office

Fits on our counter. Quiet. Shreds papers, etc. into SMALL pieces. Easy to dump.

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.

Small compact shredder, great size for a small space

Love the micro cuts, love the quality. Its quiet and stout, and it does the job with ease.

Gave as a gift. Daughter loves it! Working as described.

This is the best table shredder I have ever owned. I have owned a couple of others close to the same price but never anything as good as this one. It is much quieter, handles a lot more sheets, sturdier and does a much better job all around. Cuts up in tiny little squares. I purchased this shredder in white which is a nice change from the original black. Definitely would buy this again in the future.

I really loved my old Casa Desktop Junk Mail Shredder (SES-C1000DT) (similar to MailMate), but I would carelessly shred adhesive labels without any thought that I was ruining the blades. So after 8 years, the Casa abruptly stopped working. No amount of oil would budge the blades so it was time to replace it. It was really important that my new shredder have the same small footprint on top of my desk because using up floor space was not an option. The Aurora is expensive, but the small size is perfect for the space I have and its quiet and has a 5 year warranty. I will not be shredding adhesive labels on this one!

The shredder is very quiet which is in contrast to my previous shredder. As other have mentioned, the on-off switch seems a bit flimsy but only time will tell how well it lasts.
