No mess, no fuss. https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-SP12A-Shredder-Sharpening-Lubricant/dp/B01H7M7BXM/ **Q: What's the warranty on this shredder?** A: I was told mine had a one year warranty but when mine jammed and I called I was told that I could only get a refund minus an $8 stocking charge. To get a replacement I had to buy a new shredder. I think it depends on who you talk to what you get. **Q: Is this a medium duty cycle for a small office?** A: It would be great for a small office. Just be careful not to put thicker sheets or folded sheets in too often or it will overheat the system and you have to wait 15 - 20 minutes for it to cool down. Stick to one or 2 sheets at a time. If you have a lot of paperwork, you may want to go up a size because the basket fills up pretty quickly. Overall, it is a good little machine. **Q: can you use a bag** A: Somebody said use a 4 Gallon plastic trash bag to catch cuttings. I wasted my money purchasing some. The Amazon Basics 15-Sheet Cross-Cut Paper, CD Credit Card Office Shredder bin holds way more than a 4 gallon bag. I tried to stretch the bag over the bin and it simply tore. DO NOT TRY A 4 GALLON BAG. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/103822099-amazon-basics-12-sheet-cross-cut-paper-and-credit-card](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/103822099-amazon-basics-12-sheet-cross-cut-paper-and-credit-card) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-11-10*
