    Great little shredder, cuts to the finest smallest pieces. Easy to use and move around. With all shredders, please ensure that you use a little shredder oil to keep those teeth from sticking and blockage. The tray is easy to remove and replace.

    After paying varying amounts for shredders in the last few years which haven’t lasted well I crossed my fingers when ordering this after reading the reviews. I’ve had this model for about 3 months now and so far, it has behaved and I’m pleased with it. The shredded paper produced is much smaller than my previous cross cut shredders and because of this it is rather slow at taking the paper through. The upside is that the bin doesn’t need emptying quite so often. Although it says 8 sheet, I don’t feed this amount through at once, just usually 4 pages max – I’d rather take longer to shred than run the risk of it jamming. I haven’t shredded anything for longer than five minutes so can’t comment on the apparent running time of 5 minutes.

    Easy to operate and easy to empty. Hopefully this will last longer than its predecessors.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersAlthough not being the most technical or mechanically-minded person, when my cross-cutting shredder started making unwholesome noises and reeked of burning rubber, I realised that something was well and truly up.

    Hence, acquiring this one. The top was quite heavy and therefore it’s a mercy that my arthritic wrists aren’t trespassed upon — the drawer that slides out to empty the dross is a godsend.

    The unworthy thought did strike me that if there was a thunderous knocking at one’s front door by unwelcome people, wanting to view sensitive correspondence, they could be greeted with a smile on one’s face, as the offending documentation was reduced to the consistency of confetti by a machine that emits as much noise as an angel’s flatulence.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI bought this for the CD feature, which it does destroy, it doesn’t shred CD’s but does break them into pieces, The shredder side is ok, but not a cross shredder, it produced long strips of shredding as appeased to confetti style. but it still does the job

    Dislikes – A little flimsy. Likes – Comparative quietness; overheat and overload protection. Size of shredding. Shredded 12 years of sensitive information in 2 days.

    This shredder is a great addition to the home office. It’s portable and can handle up to 8 sheets at a time. It’s also full of great features and for the price, it’s a good investment.

    A very sturdy product which was bought to replace a shredder that was broken. Is working very well and seems a much better buy which I consider to be value for money. The front loaded receptacle mean I do not have to remove the cutting block when emptying and the fact that it is on castors help enormously

    I must admit to not realising this was a P5 rating (rather than the normal P4. However having used it I find the fine shredding works well and the blades are much less inclined to clog with paper than my previous shredder – in fact they don’t clog at all. It is rated at 8 sheets but as with other shredders it works better with less – it will munch 6 sheets no problem but I tend to do less. It has a duty rating of 5 mins on 40 mins off which is a pain but better than most. Having burnt out the motor on my last shredder I have been sticking to this! Although it seemed a bit expensive At 60 I now think it’s good value .

    I love this shredder! I have sorted through lots of old paperwork and enjoyed shredding it, perhaps shredded more than I needed to.
    Very easy to use and it’s much easier to empty the bin from the front rather than having to take the top off the shredder to empty it. Shreds paper to thick cardboard and staples.
    Great value for money and a good quality product.

    Well made, shreds paper into very small pieces, completely unrecognisable pieces, much better than my previous shredder. Bought this because my last two shredders had some plastic cogs which wore out each time. This one seems much more robust and well made. Quiet too.

    We absolutely love this shredder, paid reduced price but definitely worth full price. The wheels are an added bonus, I wasn’t going to put them on as I didn’t think I would need them but glad I put them on because they really are used. I work from home and between work and home paperwork we shred quite a lot, but this shredder doesn’t overheat. It came quickly and well packaged. Would definitely reccomend!!!! I have purchased shredder oil papers to try and prolong the use of this shredder.

    Easy to set up. Noticed that shredder was much quieter than my previous one. I have learnt to take the descriptions of shredders with a pinch of salt. My previous one claimed to shred 12 sheets at once, but struggled with 6 sheets. This one managed to shred the claimed 8 sheets easily. The size of the shredded pieces is smaller, making for greater security. My favourite feature is that the basket can be emptied by pulling it out without having to mess about with the heavy shredder head. With my previous shredder, I had to lift the heavy shredder head up, and place it aside. This inevitably resulted in spilling of some of the shredded paper which was still stuck to the mechanism. It was often quite fiddly to replace the shredder head to ensure that the safety microswitch engaged correctly. No hassles like this with this shredder.

    Not that i’m a specialist in shredders. I don’t know the brand, how good/reliable the shredder would be. Bought based on the specs, size and amazon reviews. Got it right so far.
    For home/family occasional use, it is a very good, efficient and value for money shredder, see micro level. Overall good size, nice drawer easy to empty, holds more than expected, quiet,
    shreds them in micro size making it impossible to stick back together.

    This shredder is the quietest I have ever owned.

    It is not the cheapest on the market. However, although very quiet and efficient, the build quality does leave a little to be desired. It fits together well but not sturdily. The front loading compartment gives the impression that it is not always fully engaged.

    However, all that being said, this shredder functions well and given that it has a 3 year guarantee (Bought Separately), I wait to see if this shredder can last the time of the guarantee (Unlike my last shredder – Cheaper than this model – came with a 3 year guarantee – lasted 2 years – no guarantee honoured).

    I would have given this shredder 5 stars, but the build quality takes it down to 4 stars.

    Had to replace old shredder, which one to pick, so many out there. This is effective and shreds so much smaller than old machine. The other useful thing is you can remove and empty the bin without removing the shredder from the top, always a pain an old machine.

Yes, like all shredders, it takes time as you need to stop during cool down periods, but you soon get the job done!! The micro cut means the finished shredding takes up much less room in your bin & security wise its spot on.

    Our old shredder had taken to only switching off when the plug was removed (no, it is not blocked) so we invested time into searching for a suitable replacement. So far we are very happy. The Bonsaii is quiet, fast, shreds into very tiny pieces that take up less space for disposal, glides across the floor on its castors and refuses to work if the collection box is just a millimetre from fully closed. It has done a lot of work so far and keeps going for ages if you only put two or three pages through at once. Technically you can put staples through it although the small print says not industrial staples. We have kept staples well away from it. I have bought some oiled sheets to use in it to try to keep it in top condition for as long as possible.

    Golden Review Award: 7 From Our UsersEasy to use, efficient operation and the removable container is ideal for us as we compost the paper in our hot bin. One slight drawback is that it is recommended that you switch off the shredder at the mains when not in use to prevent overheating. A bit inconvenient if you want to have cables tucked away or use a multigang extension. There is a lock to prevent accidental use so it seems that it’s related to overheating rather than accidental injury.

    Can overheat quickly if you overload it by putting too many pages through at once, but definitely a recommended buy.

    However DONT try and put 8sheets through it at once ~ 3 or 4 is its real maximum ~ apart from anything else it keeps the machine working at a lower temperature and hence you can shred for longer.
    Remember to lubricate regularly, I use oil every two full waste bucket empties.
