## Description

Product Description An desertcart Brand. From the Manufacturer desertcart Basics

Review: Very good shredder! - This shredder is fantastic. I used it over a 6-8 hour period to shred about 15 years of old checks. Paper does not seem to get stuck in the cutters and it never clogged. Has sufficient power for the advertised "12 sheets of 20 pound bond at a time." Shreds credit cards easily, did not try CD's. The description says that it will run for 20 minutes and then shut down for 20 minutes. I must have been feeding at the correct rate because it never shut down for overheating. It did shut down when the bin got too full. It states it "meets security level P-4 standards." I believe it does, looks like very tiny confetti. The removable bin is a good size and requires a little effort to reinstall after removal. For the price it is an excellent value. It replaced two older shredders I had, one was large strip shredder that was not very secure and the other was a smaller unit that was more secure but kept overheating about every 10-15 minutes and then had to cool down.
Review: Good, long lasting, and heavy duty shredder. - Works well after after 10++ years of heavy use. After over five reams of heavy 20lb paper, mailers, and unopened junk mail it still shreds very well and the waste would be very difficult if not impossible to puzzle back together.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good, long lasting, and heavy duty shredder.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful machine!
*by D***A on March 6, 2022*

I was hesitant with purchasing this machine but so glad I did! I filled 5, 30 gallon trash bags - the only reason it stopped working was because I needed a break - did not stop due to overheating and ran continuously for 3 hours this morning. Wasn’t sure how fast the micro-cut would shred but surprisingly, it was fast unlike other ones I have used. Some cons - If you are on the phone, I suggest putting in your AirPods or if you are watching tv, turn up the volume - a small price to pay for a job well done. I did have to empty out the bin quite often but again, this machine is not made for what I tasked it to do, which it completed without protest. If you need an affordable shredder, this is the one to invest in.
