GBC Paper Shredder, SmarTech Enabled, Auto Feed, 300 Sheet Capacity, Super Cross-Cut, 5-10 Users, Stack-and-Shred 300X (1757576S)

Admittedly, I'm a tough customer and I don't give these 5-stars lightly. I spent hours researching shredders for our small 5-person office to share. I looked up videos and reviews on every shredder I could find. THIS is the one. It was twice my budget, but worth more than 2 cheap shredders. I'm now the talk of the office with my shredder hunting prowess. *Extremely quiet. Can have a phone conversation right next to the thing. *No Jams. Some reviews mentioned jams, but I just can't make one happen no matter how hard I try. *Right size. It sits on the floor just fine. Has wheels to move it around or clean behind it. *STACK FEED. To be fair the stack needs to be full sized sheets, fairly uniform. But, I've thrown some haphazard in there and it ate it up just fine. *Top feed OR stack feed option. *Stack feeder locks. You open the top, put in your stack, close it and it starts shredding the stack a few at a time. At any time you can press any 4 numbers on the front to lock the feeder tray. Press the same 4 digit sequence to unlock it, or it unlocks itself when the stack is gone. Perfect for set it and forget it. *You can use a trash bag in it for easy empty. Optional. What could be better? - The price, but I still think it's a fair value for the money. - If it had an automatic trash compactor built in or even better a vacuum tube to the recycle dumpster.

I can't even begin to tell you what a mess this was. It was like a comedy act. Under the product description it says "Simply stack up to 300 sheets for automatic shredding, lock the lid and walk away". It should say "Simply stack up to 300 sheets for automatic shredding, lock the lid and walk away, and the shredder will start to shred, jam, try to shred again, then just sit there". Or it should say "Simply stack up to 300 sheets for automatic shredding, lock the lid and walk away and you will only have any success if you stack those sheets perfectly aligned without staples, paper clips or even a folded page". I was so frustrated with this thing that I ended up ripping apart some of the papers rather than shred them. It was quite humorous, I was a better shredder than the shredder.

This shredder is a great unit if you are shredding lots of loose papers. Fill it up and forget it. Doesn't work as well if you are shredding uneven or miss-shaped/sized items. Only likes to auto feeds nice neet stacks of loose paper, but does it great!

So far the shreader has worked very well. The girls in the office have not jammed it yet. The auto feed is great just close the lid and it shreads. This way you don't have to judge how many sheets to send through at a time. As long as the staples are taken out of thick groups it determines what it takes and just gets it done so it doesn't jam. So far so good very good shreader.

This unit overheats constantly, does not grab the paper properly and is always jamming. Good concept but not what I was expecting. It says 300 pages in the loader.... no! Not even 100. and if they are not separated then it just jams. A shredder described like this one should be able to take at least 3 sheets stapled together but not this one.

This product is wonderful. Put in your paper to be shredded and walk away...come back job is done! Easy to set up and use!

This shredder is amazing! Be careful to follow the instructions for paper loading and the machine will work flawlessly. Buy it and you won't regret the purchase.

Machine works well. Impossible to empty shredding without creating a mess. They should have designed a better collection system. After just one month the machine overheats with 50 papers and shuts down. Takes 45 minutes before it re-starts again. Very messy to operate.

Muy buen equipo

This thing is incomparable. we are currently shredding over 40 000 files and it performs flawlessly: no cool down needed, can shred continuously. very quiet ! can insert 300 sheets and walk away, can even be locked with a code if they are sensitive. shredded paper capacity is ok, wouldn't mind a bigger one, but they cost ++ more money! Would highly recommend.

Not as durable as I would have thought.
