I have had this for a couple of years and it is a brilliant machine. It is so good that yesterday I tried to put far too many sheets through at once and it jammed. Did the usual reverse etc but had to manually clear the slot with thin pliers. When plugged it back in and tested it the blue Auto light kept flashing so after more clearing I eventually thought the sensor must have failed. Ended up stripping the whole thing down and vacuumed out the mechanism. Then tested again with the same result. It turns out that there is a microswitch to make sure the waste bin is in place and if it isn’t it flashes the auto light.
I have recently had the task of clearing a relatives old paperwork. There was a huge accumulation of items that were personally identifiable so they needed shredding. I have had shredders before but there were for light duty and could not cope with this volume of material. I am delighted with this machine, it quiet, powerful and easy to empty. It is a little more expensive but the extra cost is easily justified.

The shredded paper drawer is a little flimsy, but shredder works well.
It works fine. You can hear the quality as it shreds your paper.
Finally no more trips to the recycling centre with piles of Amazon boxes. This shredder cuts through cardboard boxes like butter.
What schreat shredder. Works great even on cardboard. Very pleased with this product.
We shred most things with names and addresses on so this sits in the corner of the dining room and is in constant use.
It shreds great and is pretty quiet, unlike the noisy units I’ve had before.
Would defo recommend

Since delivery it has performed extremely well. easy to move on it’s provided casters, It is proving to be a true asset.
Bulletproof so far – still going strong after shredding cardboard boxes every day.
Replaced it with an old shredder.very pleased with this one it’s easy to use and easy to empty
Great to have a shredder on castors and to be able to see when the shredder bin is full. Neat product that works exactly as described. One happy customer!
We had an issue with the shredder, which was very quickly and efficiently sorted out. I wish all companies were this caring.
This Bonsaii 20 paper shredder is ideal for anyone who has lots of shredding. I would also recommending getting the oil for cleaning the blades.
Nice size and handles up to 12 sheets easily. Overheat protection and auto start which works fine. An impressive machine.
So quick to get all my old paperwork rid of. So easy to use and with having the wheels on the manoeuvrability to help with being disabled is fantastic.
Good, well made product and extremely easy to use. Great moveability.
Seems like a good buy so far. Can handle 8-10 sheets at a time and nothing getting stuck!
For old papers within files that are years old. It is an excellent addition to our office at hom
Efforts to deal with this volume using a small 2 minute use shredder, only capable of shredding single sheets was futile, and may have taken the rest of my life !
enter the Bonsaii – after some testing, I decided to limit the number of sheets inserted at one time to 5, criss-crossed sheets in a stack about 12 inches (30cms) tall, then set about shredding in one long session.
Easy, quiet, reliable, and efficient.
Over a week, I filled 12 green bags (same size as the old black bags used for rubbish, but used in our city for recycle items), all of which were taken by refuse dept for recycling !!
Job done, and I now stay on top of shredding on a day by day basis
Well Worth the Cos

Arrived in quick time. So far has worked well, hopefully it will go longer than a couple of months which is what happened with another well known brand.
I bought this for my home office. It shreds multiple pages with ease. Quiet when in use. I also like the large capacity bin. All in all very pleased with my purchase.
Love this, just literally shredded years of paper work which had just stockpiled into a box. been meaning to get a shredder for a few years. nothing else to shred for the moment, but i am sure junk mail wil start filling up lol
Easy to put together – working well so far. Easy to use. Speedy delivery and well packaged.
A fantastic little machine. Great product, great machine. I thought that I would leave it a while before submitting a review so I could be sure. No issues.
This item was ordered as my last one literally went up in smoke. It is by far more capable and quieter.
It’s early days yet but initial indications shows this unit to be more powerful, quiet and operates much smoother than my last.
It’s perfect for home shredding and I was pretty impressed considering the price. I’ve had for around a year but only use it once every couple of months so unsure how durable it would be if used more.
Bit smaller than expected, but easy to assemble, use and does what i expected so all in all pleased. Also delivery was within 24 hours. Whats to complain about?
I love it, it shreds really well and is nice a quiet.
Found front drawer particularly useful feature – only had it two days but so far so good…..
Thought I had a problem, solved very quickly by the company. The shredder is a good one and the safety features are also good on this machine.
Solid shredder, put this thing through its paces as soon as I got it and it shreds non stop without heating up.
It is just the job, all of the 3 features are right. A good buy.
Best regards to All.
So far, so good, seems vary tough, much better than the previous one of a different make
Excellent. Had a huge amount of shredding to do. Fully expected it to overheat as I was shredding over a 2 day period. (7 sacks!).
But it didn’t cut out once. Very impressed.
This “15 page” shredder cuts out for much lower numbers of pages than 15. Otherwise it is satisfactory and cuts up documents into tiny pieces. It is sturdy and quiet in operatio
I wrote a review how good it was when I first had it well today 24th Feb 2020 it has broke down been talking to customer care at the moment I have identified what the problem is so will wait for there response as I want a new one.
I found that I had to stop to let the unit cool down . Never needed to wit old unit .
I have been please with the unit since the first day after I stopped using the unit before it overheated.
Does what it says. Have been using for over 3 months. It shreds effectively – from sheets of paper to card to credit type cards. The pullout drawer to empty the shredded paper is brilliant. So easy. Very plasticky looking, it’s not as attractive as my much cheaper Ryman’s model but it really does the job and so far hasn’t jammed.
We had a Fellows shredder for along time before it died. This is better than the Fellows a really good shredder. As with all shredders you have to look after them, keep it oiled
Great we shredder, does exactly as it says on the box. Happy with i
Not as big as expected but a good product suitable for what I need
Very pleased with my purchase. It is robust easy to use and looks good. Would definitely recommend this.
The biggest plus for me is that it shreds several index cards at the same time.
