12-Sheet Micro-Cut Heavy Duty Paper Shredder for Home Office | 60-Min Continuous Runtime, 16-Litre Pullout Bin, P-4 High Secutiy, 4 Casters, Shreds CDs Staples Clips Mail, C266-B

It’s just arrived this evening and already filled almost 3 black bin liners full of compressed small pieces. This is: so fast; security conscious cross-cut pieces; doesn’t overheat like previous shredders nor jam like they did. I used this for 90 mins only switching it off whilst I emptied the bin several times. The unit didn’t feel hot and did not switch off automatically or signal overheating as it seemed fine and just kept shredding. I only fed about 6 sheets of decent thickness paper max through each pass but it encountered a credit card and a few staples along the way with no problems at all. I did allow the bin once to get too full and the machine stopped before taking in the whole sheet and I then noticed the blue power light flashing to inform me of this. The machine appeared to be jammed so I pushed slider to ‘fwd’ then ‘Rev’ a couple of times then switched it off, replaced the bin after emptying and hey presto! it cleared and started shredding again. It was getting late to continue shortly after that so hoovered out bin and turned it upside down after unplugging it to see how much paper was left in the blades and to my delight there were about 3 single strands and not full like my other cheaper shredders used to be. I intend to run oiled paper through tomorrow after today’s heavy use so that hopefully it stays as efficient. This machine has dissolved my stress of years of paperwork that previously took far too long to shred so had given up and was frustrated at the ever-increasing collection of documents and receipts but not any more! 👍🏻🤗🙂

Good item, not so loud. Easy to use, compact size. Perfect for home use.

Excellent shredder, although it does shred the advertised (simultaneous) pages the more pages you shred at the same time the more likely ot os that it wont properly "confetty" shred them. I found it can easily do 4-6 (depending on thickness) and still confetty shred. It does easily shred credit cards as well.

I don’t have a good track record with shredders. I prefer micro cutters to ensure documents cannot be read but some just don’t always do what is described. This on the other hand takes several pages (says 12 and I don’t doubt it!) and works for ages before stopping for a rest. It micro cuts really well and it is surprisingly quiet. It is quite small but totally adequate as the waste takes ages to fill the bin. It’s on castors which are easy to fix and it isn’t too heavy and the bin slides out easily so no lifting a heavy working unit to access the bin which you find in other brands. I also got it for a great price. Just would have liked it in a selection of colours to coordinate with my decor, but that’s just me!

Very happy with this shredder. The paper waste tray is nice and large - saves emptying it every few minutes. It happily takes 6-7 sheets at a time. Paper shredded into tiny pieces which is great, which I then put into our composter.

I have had this product a few months. I don't write reviews until an item has had reasonable use. I have been using the Bonsaii to dispose of old business records accumulated over many years. Previously I had used a strip shredder for occasional use but it was laborious for anything in quantity plus strip waste takes up much space no matter how you try to compress it. The Bonsaii is several times the price of a strip shredder but it has paid me back in spades. Is a sturdy well-designed machine of far better build quality than the average cheap strip shredders; and the little casters make it easy to move around. Claiming twelve sheet capacity, I find it gobbles up handfuls of 80gsm paper with ease and ignores staples - though I try to remove any first. I mainly shred paper, though I have shredded the occasional credit card. It claims to shred CD/DVDs but I have not tried. I have suffered very few jams, these being due to my error in loading. The reverse function usually takes care of the problem - unlike my previous shredder that I sometimes had to take apart. The window is a great aid to show when it is full and the small cross-cut waste, taking up far less space, means I can keep feeding for quite a while before stopping to empty; and ultimately, I am able to put far more waste in my refuse bin. Whilst a cheaper shredder will soon overheat, meaning constant breaks to allow it to cool down, this one just keeps going. I think it claims 40 minutes continuous run, but I haven't made it halt yet. Inevitably, it does make a noise but is not overly noisy. Ultimately, a robust machine up to heavy-duty work, and good value for money.

This shredder is great ... the capacity of the bin is really large and the fact that it is a pull out draw type of bin makes it a lot easier than those where you have to lift the top off the whole thing! I would say that the most impressive thing is how quiet it is when it's working ... this is great, no more loud shredding noises, which is especially important when you have a lot to shred, I only use it at home but I do tend to have a lot of confidential documents I need to get through. The unit is black and is on wheels (although these can be removed if you prefer it without) - personally I like the wheels because it means that I can wheel it easily under my desk out of the way when I'm not using it. Time will tell how long it will last but hopefully it will serve me well for few years at least! Very happy to recommend this shredder if you're looking for the next step up from a small domestic shredder but don't want something huge.

This Bonsaii shredder, with its 12-sheet, micro-cut, 60-minutes run time, is a game-changer for me, after struggling for years with a 3-sheet, 5-minutes run-time, 40-minutes cool-down, cross-cut shredder. Another positive is that it is Climate Pledge Friendly. Speed: I find the Bonsaii Incredibly fast and efficient. In 2 hours, I was able to shred (roughly) a 33cm x 42cm box full of A4 paper. I used to spread my shredding out over days as it was so tedious using my old 5-minute run-time, 40-minute cool-off shredder. Mobility: The addition of castors makes the Bonsaii easy to move. A great improvement on my last 'lift and carry' shredder. Bin emptying: The Bonsaii’s pull-out bin is a great idea. The shredding ‘teeth’ mechanism stays behind, in the ‘housing’, unlike my last machine which had to have the (heavy) ‘top’ (containing the motor and shredding teeth), lifted off the bin and put down somewhere, leaving paper shreds and dust everywhere. No such concerns with the Bonsaii. Paper jams: Early days but, so far, using the Bonsaii, I haven’t experienced a paper jam. Noise level: A shredder is bound to be noisy. Even so, I find the noise level of the Bonsaii perfectly acceptable. It hums as the paper goes through which is an improvement on my old machine with its loud ‘crunching’ ‘paper chewing’ noises. Paper feed: The Bonsaii doesn’t ‘struggle’ or ‘snatch’ as it feeds, so the paper stays upright; unlike my previous shredder which grabbed unevenly at the paper, causing it to fall sideways and clog up the feed. Over-heating/cooling: When the Bonsaii overheats, it stops and the fan kicks in until the shredder is cool. Yes, the fan is a little noisy but, to be honest, I find it re-assuring to know it’s doing its job! My old machine would overheat, stop; a red light would flash and an eerie silence would follow. I was never quite sure whether the thing was cooling down- or dead. Last but not least- my previous shredder was a cross-cut and this one is a micro cut. So much better. My only disappointment is the price variation. I purchased at £89.99, discounted from £112.99 and days later, noticed the same product selling on Amazon for £76.49.
