The read
What's actually worth knowing.
- It has a 4-minute continuous run time before it needs to cool down for 20 minutes, so it's not meant for marathon shredding sessions.
- The shredder stops automatically when you lift the head off, which is a safety feature but also means you can't add more paper mid-shred.
- It includes a manual reverse function to help clear paper jams, and the whole head lifts off with a handle for easier cleaning and maintenance.
As of Aug 26, the Bonsaii Paper Shredder for Home Use is overpriced at $37.99 — versus a $33.79 typical price and a $27.99 12-month low, based on Amazon's own price history.
Its price this year
This price is off the chart.
Sale check Amazon shows “24% off,” measured against a $50 “list price” it doesn't charge. Its usual price is $34 — real discount ≈ 0%.
The phantom Amazon has left this $50 “list price” untouched for 5 months — while the item actually sold for about $34. It's a fixed anchor, not a price it charges.
