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

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

Overall, I like the shredder. Its very quiet. But, the on/off switch feels cheap and probably wont last long. And, the paper bin is very difficult to slide in and out of the shredder.

Wonderful shredder Quiet and powerful

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 had a similar shredder that I was trying to get as close as possible too and I love this one a lot more!!! It shreds papers to smaller than dime size!!! Very quiet and fast also!!!

I measured my desk compartment and this was the only shredder that would fit and seemed good. It absolutely works! Shreds good and fits small spaces.

Pros: compact size, capacity (probably wouldn’t do 12 sheets at a time but goes very strong at about 6), drawer slides well, sturdy weight, not quiet but not super loud. Cons: micro-cuts make a huge mess so if you overfill the small drawer you will be cleaning up bits all over, sliding switch feels fragile. Unless you must have a micro-cut shredder, it seems the cross-cut model in the same size would be easier to keep tidy while taking advantage of the other pros.

As my Daddy always said ya-get what ya pay for This Shredder may be high-end, compared to quite a few out there, but, Worth it in every way. The high rating says it all.

Great shredder!
