It’s not to big but has a decent size waste container so it doesn’t need to be emptied too often. It’s definitely worth the money and gets the job done. Securing your private details and info are entirely shredded.
Efficient Shredding Capacity:
The shredder's ability to handle up to 12 sheets at a time is commendable, making it suitable for moderate shredding tasks in a home office setting. It smoothly shreds paper, credit cards, and even staples, saving me the hassle of removing them before shredding.
Cross-Cut Security:
The cross-cut shredding mechanism adds an extra layer of security compared to standard strip-cut shredders. It effectively turns sensitive documents into confetti, providing peace of mind when disposing of personal or confidential information.
Compact Design:
The Amazon Basics shredder boasts a compact design that doesn't take up much space in my home office. The integrated handle on the top makes it easy to move around when needed. It fits neatly under my desk, allowing for convenient access without compromising on office aesthetics.
Relatively Quiet Operation:
The shredder operates at a reasonable noise level, which is appreciated, especially in a home environment. While it's not completely silent, the noise level is not overly disruptive, allowing me to shred documents without causing a disturbance.
Easy to Empty Bin:
The bin is easy to access and empty. The transparent window on the front provides a clear view of the shredding capacity, allowing me to know when it's time to empty the bin. The pull-out design simplifies the process of removing and replacing the bin.
Automatic Start and Stop:
The shredder features convenient automatic start and stop functionality. It begins shredding when paper is inserted and stops when the job is complete, contributing to a smoother and more user-friendly experience.
Affordable Price Point:
Considering the shredder's capacity and cross-cut capabilities, the Amazon Basics 12-Sheet Cross-Cut Shredder offers good value for its price. It provides a solid balance between performance and affordability.
Minor Jams on Occasion:
While the shredder generally performs well, I have experienced occasional paper jams, especially when pushing the sheet limit. While these jams are easy to clear with the provided reverse function, it's worth noting for those planning to shred near the maximum sheet capacity.
Conclusion:
The Amazon Basics 12-Sheet Cross-Cut Shredder is a reliable and reasonably priced solution for home office document disposal needs. Its efficient shredding capacity, cross-cut security, and user-friendly features make it a solid choice for those seeking an affordable and compact shredder.

Other night i saw a dude just hanging around in the dumpster at my complex, smoking a cig and digging through trash looking at stuff. Called the cops and they didn't seem to be concerned. Uhhh... yeah I used to just dump expired mustard or salad dressing that I didn't like on stuff before taking it out. But this is much more effective and elegant, lol.

Good buy.
This shredder was inexpensive so I wasn't sure how well it would do but I have been pleasantly surprised at how powerful it is.
Everything works great, it shreds paper, cardstock, credit cards, and has yet to jam or quit on me.
Perfect product.
