AmazonBasics 8-Sheet Strip-Cut Paper/CD/Credit Card Shredder with Basket

This Amazon Basics 8 sheet strip cut shredder comes with a separate throat for CD and credit card( one at a time) shredding. This unique shredder offers auto start and manual reverse to clear paper jams.It features a 3.2 gallon wastebasket. It will shred paper efficiently into 1/4" strips at a rate of 9.84 feet per minute.

This unit will slightly slow down when running multiple sheets but does 8 at a time without any problem. It is however a strip cut so it is obviously not a level 5 security machine. (Level 5 means you turn the document into smoke :-)

Fellowes W-11C Deskside Cross Cut Paper Shredder Review

After reading reviews on several shredders, I decided to break down and spend the money on a decent home office type shredder. No big deal since most shredders are this way. I bought the Fellowes w-11c yesterday on sale at a local store.

I've replaced enough shredders that I figured it would probably save money in the long run to get a top-of-the-line shredder and pay out the $160 instead of replacing the shoddy ones as they break down. That junk mail and those papers have been accumulating for 6 months, going in a big "shred it when you get a new shredder box."
