It a nice shredder but if you don’t get the waste bin in all the way it won’t work .
Bit difficult to assemble but once done works well, only problem was that instructions didn’t seem to apply to model supplied.
I loath shredding and with two small businesses on the go, there tends to be quite a bit of it. I have been using a much more expensive known-brand shredder for a few years and it finally gave up the ghost. Despite having paid a lot, I had found it irritating – noisy, time-consuming, messy -urgh. This shredder is a game-changer.
1. The shredded paper is small and compact so the bin takes MUCH longer to fill
2. The bin seems huge, even though the shredder is roughly the same size as my other one; it easily slides out forwards
3. The shredder hasn’t overheated once yet, despite having cleared a backlog of shredding – the 10 minutes of run time seems to hold true.
4. The more compact paper means it doesn’t trigger the ‘full’ switch until its actually properly full
5. The more compact paper means that it stays in the bin instead of getting into the machine, down the back of the bin, even when you’re emptying it.
6. It says it takes up to 16 sheets of paper – it hasn’t jammed once. (My other shredder took 10 – but would often jam with 6).
7. It’s on wheels, so easy to move to clean around etc.
8. It stands a little higher than my old one – which means it looks ok next to the desk and I’m more likely to shred as needed.
Couldn’t be happier!
Had this over a year now, very easy set up no issues. If you buy it you won’t be disappointed.
Not the easiest to assemble, with some moulding flash around the castor recesses in the main body, but simply resolved with some judicious use of a flat balded screwdriver. It’s quite, efficient and very good value for money. Over the years I’ve had many shredding machines, and so far none have been able to perform as specified, so I do not expect this one to shred 10 sheets at a time. That said, unless you have so much confidential paperwork that you need to regularly shred 10 pages at a time, buy this one. Otherwise, feel free to spend 200+
As long as you put only 1 to max 4 pieces of average gsm paper, this shredder will do its work…. You put more in then it’ll slow it down…. get some lube paper and it’ll last a long time…. in no way is this for office use, this is more for casual use…. the best bit for me is the pull out bin!!! It’s small and has caster wheels, which does its job…. overall, I would recommend this as long as you follow the above….
I purchased this shredder in September 2019 for my home office and have been using it regularly ever since. I don’t shred huge amounts, but I do use it weekly to shred papers with confidential information. I’ve never had a moment’s problem with it. Even when I have a huge stack to shred it has never overheated. It just keeps churning. But I don’t recommend doing that — I think I’ve just been lucky on that account. I’ve just purchased the cleaner sheets for it because it’s way overdue to be oiled and sharpened and I don’t want to kill it by not taking proper care of it. Especially since the price has doubled (I paid $109). Would I buy it again if and when this one eventually needs replacing? You bet! For my needs it is well worth the money.
Much quieter than another shredder we’ve had for a while. Very pleased with it.
Brilliant shredder, no assembly required and destroy’s paper work into confetti.
I’m Refitting out my office and brought the shredder it’s good value for money and it will do what I needed to do
i use it for office work at home as i am house bound due to medical probs
Looks good so far, but a common concern with shredders is durability and I can’t comment on that only having had it a few weeks.
Effective cross shredder. Pleased with this so far. Large waste containe
Very quiet, works great, and nice that its on wheels
I looked around and eventually settled on this one. Great shredder, littlebit noisier than my first one. Works really well snd done everything i have wanted it to do

This works really well the only fault I have is that the wheels are a bit wobbly but if leaving in the same position no problem but it does a great job.
Worth paying that bit extra for a good shredder this one is brilliant! Quick and easy to use and the pull out drawer is much easier. No complaints after 5 weeks and a mountain of paper reduced to a bag full!
I especially like that I don’t have to take it apart to get the shredded paper out!!
he cross cut is great – its quick, quiet fast and although its a mid range price shredder it does a good job
I needed a shredder to go through years of business and private paperwork so wanted one that wouldn’t require an hour to cool down after ten minutes of use.
The first time I used it I created two bin bags of confetti without having to stop once. Admittedly I was only doing 2-3 pages at a time but it never skipped a beat.
In total I created 9 bags each with 3 loads and never had to stop once to let it cool down.
I highly recommend this shredder if you have a small business or just like shredding things.
Easy assembly and operation but the body and waste paper container should be more rigid. Reasonable value for money – can’t comment on durability at this stage.
Excellent Customer Care!
I purchased a Bonsaii C221 B through Amazon and after 6 months it stopped working. After describing the fault to Mia at Bonsaii Customer Care I promptly received a brand new replacement shredder which is working superbly.
Very satisfied customer.
Bought this shredder as my old one broke. It’s easy to use, very quite and shreds as it should so my personal info will never be known.
We had difficulty getting it to work initially until we realised the top section wasn’t sitting properly on the bin. Once the top was sitting level it went great guns.
Spent a happy 2 days shredding loads of paperwork, photos & negatives etc that had been cluttering up our office annex at home for years. Didn’t overwork the unit and had regular “rests”. Also purchased a bottle of Fellowes Performance Oil and made sure the cutters were regularly cleared and oiled. Very happy sofar with the performance and am sure the unit will give us many hours of work in the years to come.
