It is much quieter than many shredders with the same security rating that I have had. The feeder system that allows you to shred 120 sheets is priceless in that you can essentially load it up and forget it for 10 or so minutes. The shred bin is pretty large and will take about two complete runs of the feeder bin.
Maintenance is pretty easy in that it uses vegetable oil (per the owner's manual) for lubrication and it will shut itself down before it overheats (only happened to me once). The consistency of the cuts are excellent and the shredding rolls don't get gunked up with strips on the left or right of the rolls as happens with many other shredders.
The cutting time versus cool-down time is excellent for this machine as well. Since the feeder can run while you're doing other things, it would be easy to consistently run it too long, but as long as you let it go off for ten minutes every hour or so, it won't overheat. I almost consistently do this inadvertently.
As to the ability for this machine to shred paper clips and other materials, I have not tried this. It has been my practice not to ever intentionally do this to anything but industrial size shredders that have hoppers similar to wood chipper/shredders and are built to shred books, binders, etc.
Overall, I'd recommend this for every small business that is concerned with/required to destroy sensitive documents.
This shredder is designed for you to open the lid, place several hundred sheets of letter size paper into the bin, close the lid, and walk away. You get other things done while it shreds. Amazing. Come back when it's done and load more. Also, all of these shredders that you can compare it to - they all have "run times" which means how long can it run for before it gets hot and needs to take a break. This has one of the longest run times, so it will shred way longer than the others before you need to stop. Which means more boxes of files done sooner. Awesome.
Does it have any drawbacks? Yes.
If you want to shred paper that isn't letter size, you won't do well using the letter bin. You need to hand feed through the top. The top feed does not accept a heavy load. You can't put very much down it at a time. If you like to hand feed a lot at a time, this isn't the shredder for you. Also, in the letter bin, paper that isn't normal paper (different weight - too light, too heavy, has folds in it) sometimes it doesn't pull through and the whole batch waits while it spins its gears and you have to pop the lid open and pull the paper on the bottom out and reset the stack.
So I shredded probably 20 boxes worth, sold my file cabinet, and took it to my office and kept going.
Ok, so then - about the customer service that I mention in my review title: I did have a problem. It's been 3 months... and the entire shredder broke. The main gear system just destroyed itself. Total mechanical failure. (All internal - nothing dangerous.) I was worried that I was going to be one of those 1 star reviews. "Oh why didn't I believe those reviewers?" (But every single shredder you read has some.) So I searched online for Aurora, found their website, emailed customer service and got a response immediately. Not days or hours - minutes. (Yes, it was during business hours.) They had me reply and send photos of the damage / failure plus proof of purchase. They basically said, ok, no problem, you're covered, give us your address so we can ship you a new one. (I did not need to return the old one.) They were so easy to deal with and no hassles - and yes, they spoke English.
PROS:
Fast
Quiet
Excels with letter size paper
Produces micro-cut particles
Shreds on its own
Lengthy run time
Great customer service
Does not require continuous (expensive) oiling
CONS:
Not as good with hand fed shredding
Can stall on letter size if abnormal
Did break after 3 months (but was quickly replaced for free)
Final Comment: At this price point, and with their service backing their 1 year warranty, if you have a lot of letter size shredding to do in the near future, it's awfully hard to justify picking a competitor.
