Aurora AU120MA 120-Sheet Auto Feed High Security Micro-Cut Paper Shredder / 30 Minutes (Black)

Worth the price! Works great, relatively quiet and cuts documents into tiny pieces. The only issue for me was the top control panel is a bit heavy and emptying the bin is a little cumbersome an awkward. The size is good, does not take up much space and fits well into a home office. The power cord is a bit short, a longer cord would would be a bonus. Be careful when moving/rolling into place, it's a bit top heavy. There is a warning light that alerts you if it's becoming hot and to turn off to cool down before resuming shredding function.

I had about 6 banker boxes of sensitive files to shreds. This paper shredder performed flawlessly. I expect it to last many years. It is well built and easy to use. It is also the quietest paper shredder I have ever owned.

I've been using this shredder for about two months. It works very well and has already saved me about $150 I would otherwise have had to pay a commercial service to shred my documents. Here are some things I've learned to do, to optimize its operation. 1. Empty the bin when it's about 2/3 full. 2. Oil the shredding teeth once a month; performance oil works better than vegetable oil. 3. To avoid jamming, don't insert more than about 10 sheets of paper at a time into the shredding slot. 4. The shredder will take CDs one at a time, but if it jams, open the lid, remove the CD, and try again. I'm not shredding CDs any more than is absolutely necessary, as the machine definitely struggles to pull them through the shredding gears. Shredded paper, CDs, etc. come out in confetti-sized pieces, which is a definite improvement on my previous strip-cut shredder. All in all, I'm very happy with this shredder and would recommend it for purchase.

This is a bit pricy and will not shred CDs but it is otherwise a solid purchase and has worked well for days at a time shredding lots of documents.

It's a solid shredder, but when you put paper inside for the larger quantity shredding the rollers tend to grab more than they should and it jams up. Nice and quiet too.

This is a nice home office shredder. It is a good size and shreds paper and credit cards and staples well. It does not jam much, which is good. It has a nice feature where a user can open the lid and place up to 120 sheets at a time for shredding. It shreds very small pieces, which is great for security. The only downside is the lightweight plastic design on the door. It is somewhat flimsy. Also, it would be nice to have a larger than 5-gallon waste container for larger shredding jobs. Most competitive shredders have a 6-gallon basket. Overall, I would recommend this shredder.

This arrived today and I used it already. This is hands down the best shredder I have ever owned. I ran it for about 45 minutes putting in no more than 1 to 2 sheets at a time. The shredder never felt warm to the touch during that time. It ran like a champ. My old shredder that this one is replacing could barely run ten minutes using 1 to 2 sheets at a time. And the old shredder would be hot to the touch and have to stay off an hour before I could use it again. The wheels are a plus. The shredder is heavy so be careful when mounting it on the basket. The basket is pretty big. Do yourself a favor and line the basket with a garbage bag for easier clean up after the shredding is done. The only thing that I didn't like about the shredder is the auto feed function. The auto feed feels like a useless gimmick to me. It's not a selling point. I will purchase some shredder oil to make sure this last a long time. Well worth the price. Update: 10/12/25 after very limited use over the last 2 years I go to use this today and it will not even turn on. And by limited use I mean I use this thing once every 5 to 6 months for maybe an hour. How disappointing that it is completely dead already. I have had much cheaper shredders last longer than this. Changing my original 4 star review down to a 1 star review. Aurora Company and Amazon you need to do better.

I love how well this thing eats through paper. The auto.atex feature is a godsend.
