The read
What's actually worth knowing.
- It has automatic shut-off protection after 3 minutes of continuous use, with a 30-minute cool-down period built in to prevent overheating.
- The shredder can handle staples and small paper clips along with paper, but it won't work with metal credit cards and you need to feed credit cards one at a time.
- The bin holds 3.7 gallons and has a reverse function to help clear jams, plus LED indicators show you the power status and if the unit is overheating or overloaded.
As of Aug 14, the Amazon Basics 8-Sheet High Security Cross Cut Paper is a good price at $38.25 — versus a $35 typical price and a $28.80 12-month low, based on Amazon's own price history.
