For the utmost safety, if you have young children, we recommend unplugging any shredder when it’s not in use.Simple. Some other shredders have additional safety features that would be nice to see on the Amazon Basics shredders, like a lock switch and a hidden on/off switch for child safety.Although this model has an overload LED indicator that’s supposed to warn you if you try to shred too many sheets at once, it didn’t work as we expected: It lit up only when a jam already existed, rather than warning us before said jam would happen.Shredding CDs or DVDs makes this model sound louder than when it’s shredding plastic credit cards or paper, but the sound levels we recorded-83 decibels for CDs, 70 for credit cards, and mid-60s for stacks of paper-were bang on the average of all shredders we tested.But the eight-sheet Amazon Basics still produced consistently high-security, P4-level-size shreds-enough to give us peace of mind that identity thieves or snooping neighbors wouldn’t be able to piece together the original documents. This shredder produces larger shreds than some other micro-cut models we tested-most notably, the Fellowes Powershred 8MC5 8-Sheet Micro-Cut Paper Shredder (which unfortunately had temperature and jamming problems).We measured the level of noise during shredding using the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health’s sound level meter app.We noted how easy or difficult it was to empty the wastebasket, and how many pages the bin could hold before needing to be emptied.We didn’t test with paper clips in this round because in previous tests we found that they tended to break the machines. We tested whether the shredder could destroy staples, credit cards, and CDs (if the shredder maker advertised that it could).We timed the shredder’s run time and cooldown time.Stick to the maximum page capacity recommended by the manufacturer, or fewer, to avoid overworking your shredder and potentially shortening its life.) We purposely inserted more pages than the maximum load to see when the shredder would jam and how easily we could clear jams.
PREVENT WIFI JAMMING FULL
In our testing, most of the shredders’ bins got full within 10 to 15 minutes of nonstop shredding, rendering claims of ultra-high run times moot. Less-expensive shredders have run times of under five minutes, while the best home and small-office models have run times rated at 10 minutes or more. Run time: The higher the shredder’s run time, the more you can continuously shred before the unit needs to take a break and cool down.Most of the micro-cut shredders in our target price range can handle six to 12 sheets at a time. Page capacity: Having a shredder with a higher page capacity means you can shred more paper at once, including several folded sheets.More-expensive shredders are designed for offices where they’ll shred stacks of documents throughout the day they’re overkill for a typical one- or two-person home office. Price: We look for paper shredders from major manufacturers that retail for less than $200, with a strong preference for those priced closer to or lower than $100.
