IMPORTANT Q&A:
Q: Why is the number of sheets that can be shredded lower than the maximum number of sheets described?
A: Please check if the paper is damp, contains plastic or too thick, if so, please let the paper dry before shredding, or remove the plastic part, or reduce shredding sheets per pass. To extend the lifetime of the paper shredder, please don’t shred more than 15 sheets in one time.
Q: The shredder is broken, but the return window is closed. What should I do?
A: bonsaii provides a 2-year service. No matter whether the return window is closed or not, we will provide you with the best solution. *Please ensure that you provide valid reply address to avoid any issues with receiving our response.
Use Tips
1. To avoid paper jams caused by overloading the machine, check and clean the cutter in good time.
2. When the bin is full, please clean it out in time to avoid affecting the reversing function and making the machine unusable.
3. The machine has an overheat protection device. After the overheat protection has been triggered during the previous use, please cool down for more than 40 minutes before shredding the next time.
4. Do not spray or keep any aerosol products in or around the shredder.
Shreds cardboard
I needed a shredder that would shred cardboard boxes into small pellets so we could fuel our hot bin (composter). This shredder does it perfectly, even the really thick ones.
Quiet and Powerful
Replacement for an old Fellowes Bulldog shredder. This is bigger but much quieter and more powerful and easily handles 6-8 pages at a time. Also having a drawer to pull out rather than having to take the top off is much better and less messy. The little window so you can see how much is in it is surprisingly helpful too! It may be twice the size of the old one but it is twice as good, I am very pleased with it.
Works fine, and is fairly quie
Brought this a a replacement for old one(struggled with more than 1 sheet at a time!) This new one is much more able to cope. Claims up to 15 sheets at a time but I’m sticking to 5-6 sheets of 80gm….
Haven’t tried bank cards or CDs, but I think it would munch them up quite well.
Easy to empty bin, runs fairly quietly, the fan cools the workings so haven’t encountered “overheat” funtion yet.
Really pleased with it….
Very Pleased so far with Bonsaii 15-Sheet Cross Cut Paper Shredde
I am very pleased so far with the Bonsaii 15-Sheet Cross Cut Paper Shredder – I’ve only had it a few days but to review: It was securely packaged in it’s own box but then an additional Amazon box. The instructions were easy to follow and the 4 casters (wheels) located inside the paper drawer, were easy to put on. It is bigger than my previous shredder so it stays on the floor, so having the casters on the bottom is a great idea. As is the window in the front to see when the shredder is getting full. I have at least 8 box files of paperwork to shred but i am only doing it gradually to prevent overheating. Even though it says it will shred staples, I have NOT tried that. I would prefer it to last as long as possible due to the amount i have to shred so I am removing staples. At some point i might see how it deals with staples. I really like how it cuts the pieces up very small. My previous one cut into long strips. So this is another plus. It seems fairly quiet as well. Also, it says it can take 15 sheets at a time, but i am being more cautious and only doing 5 or 6 sheets. So far (touch wood) it has not jammed once! I have already filled 2 recycling boxes with shredded paper! I will update if anything goes wrong but fingers crossed all will be fine. So far, it is worth the extra price, especially if it does the job efficiently, without jamming like my other one constantly did.
Decent shredde
For a little more money it works really well. So far hasn’t stopped because it over heats like my old one did and hasn’t jammed. The sealed bin keeps the dust in.
This Bonsaii C169-B is an excellent shredder. It’s very easy to use. I know that the perception of noise is a very subjective matter but, to my ears at least, this shredder is not particularly noisy.
It can handle it’s stated maximum capacity of 14 sheets without difficulty. However, the advice in the manual is to shred no more than 70% of its maximum in order to maintain its vitality and effectiveness. The maximum amount of 14 sheets should be used only occasionally. Personally, I shred only 8 or 9 sheets at a time.
There is no “bin full” indicator on this shredder, but it’s easy to determine when the bin needs emptying due to the large window at the front. My previous shredder (AmazonBasics 12-Sheet micro-cut) had an LED that lit up when it thought that the bin was full. When this happened, the shredder would stop working. Unfortunately, this shredder developed a fault and thought that the bin was full even though it was completely empty. This rendered the shredder completely useless. No such problem occurs with the C169-B. The pull-out bin itself is very easy to remove (and replace) in order to empty its contents.
This machine has a patented cooling system — after several passes, the cooling fan kicks in. It’s very reassuring to know that the machine is being cooled in this way. I normally wait until the fan stops whirring (usually for about a minute) before continuing with the shredding (but, of course, this is not really necessary — clearly, you can continue without stopping for about 30 minutes).
It is recommended to oil the cutting system on a regular basis in order to ensure the longevity of the shredder. The advice in the manual is to oil the cutters every 5th or 6th time the bin is emptied, but I prefer to oil the cutters every time I empty the bin. I use Fellowes Performance Oil.
This is a superb shredder and I highly recommend it.
I have only just bought this so I cannot comment on longevity.
Previously, I had one of those basic cross cut machines that goes for 3 minutes then stops for 30 minutes. In fact, it doesn’t even do that and as we are moving house, and have vast amounts of paperwork to shred securely, it was driving me balmy! We would never have got through it all prior to the move.
This machine is brilliant – it seems to go for longer than 30 minutes actually and you really can get through a lot of paper. I did find that I couldn’t feed 14 sheets at a time, though this may have been because a lot of the paper had been in the garage and may have attracted moisture, making it thicker.
Although the idea of a pull out drawer appealed to me as being better than having to take the machine off the top, I found that the drawer is sometimes difficult to get in or out. It also feels a bit flimsy, and it bends a bit, so I hope it will last a long time.
It is a cross-shredder, actually not as secure as the previous cheap machine, as it only shreds to a P3 (is it?) and not a P4 but it seems adequate and perfectly secure for me. I think someone would have just as much trouble trying to piece documents together from the shreds as with the P4!!
The price was far more than I would have considered paying previously, but it is worth it if you have a lot of shredding to do.
Overall I am very pleased with the machine and I think it is worth the price. It works so much better than anything I’ve had before.
Previously we had two shredders. Both were under 90. They would overheat after shredding a few sheets, and they were noisy. Five minutes of shredding, it would overheat. We got tired of waiting for it to cool down after every use. Neither of them were able to keep up with our workflow. We ended up with a big pile of paperwork that needed shredding, but with no shredder up to the task. We needed a new one with a bigger capacity, what stopped us was the price. Was it worth getting a more expensive one?
The answer is yes! This shredder is worth every penny.
This new Bonsai shredder is perfect!
And here’s why:
– It can shred continously for half an like it says.
– It is quieter compared to the other two we had.
– It’s easy to use. Insert paper and shred. No more than 14 sheets at a time which is fine.
– It has a fan cooling system inside.
– The oiling makes it more effective.
So far so good. Just make sure you oil it after every few shred loads. I recommend for office. This is an Office Manager’s new favourite tool. ^_^
I have owned three different shredders now incuding this one, a cheaper 50 shredder, one costing 180 and this one which I paid 110.00 for and this is probably the best value for money one that I have owned. Yes you get what you pay for but surely there has to be a cut off point, a shredder costing over 100 and a shredder costing over 200 they both shred paper so you should ask what extra are you getting for your money?
There is nothing I don’t like about this shredder but here are a couple of important things I do like about it. First and most importantly, the enclosed bin or paper collection area. Some shredders have wired mesh style containers, these are awful as you will get paper ‘dust’ the bin on this Bonsaii shredder is totally enclosed, no dust escapes, ideal for a home office enviroment.
Secondly the container size, believe me size does matter when it comes to a shredder, this at 17 litres this is a perfect size, you won’t find yourself having to empty it as often and although it might sound a minor thing now it is so annoying when a shredder needs continuously emptying.
Some cheaper shredders are literally a basket or bucket with a shredder unit situated on top, this isn’t, it is a proper unit with a bucket that slots in and out of a casing structure with ease. The kind that have units sitting on top of a basket or bucket are messy when it comes to emptying, really avoid those if you can.
The Bonsaii Evershed states it will shred 14 sheets at a time, this is probably true if you have low GSM paper but I doubt it would shred 14 sheets of 120gsm at a time. I put through around 6-8 sheets and it eats them with ease. Whilst it might not seem that important having shredders that says it will shred less please remember the ability to shred less at a time will mean a lesser strength motor
If you need a very good home office shredder then this fits the bill perfectly, pay much less and you won’t get the important features like enclosed large capacity bucket and the ability to shred 14 sheets at a time, pay much more and ask yourself what extra are you getting, if you want a paper shredder that shreds paper and works why spend much more.
