Aurora Cross-Cut Paper Shredder with Basket Review:

This business gadget has an average rating of 3.5 stars coming from the customer who reviewed it. Despite the ratings, a lot of customers posted about their satisfaction for the product especially that it comes with quite an affordable price.

This product is continuously gathering more happy customers each day. One customer bought it and claimed that this is the first shredder he encountered that didn’t break for the first two weeks of use. Three months have passed by and it still is working fine for him. A homeowner loved the capacity of the waste basket. He can even go up to a month without emptying it. another customer was deeply satisfied with the eight sheet shredding capacity. He actually came across with a lot of shredders before and not one of them has ever fulfilled its promised shredding capacity. He was surprised to find out that this one does shred up to eight sheets at a time. Another one liked the anti jam feature since it works very effectively. He also complemented the downward shredding blades since it makes him feel safer whenever he gets his hands near the receiver.

There were only a handful of the customers who expressed their dissatisfaction. One customer was unhappy about it since it started to get sloppy after six weeks of use. He mentioned that it now gets jammed more often and gets even harder to fix. Another one complained on how hard it is to get it activated. She is saying that she always needs to insert the papers really properly just to get it started.

We would recommend this business gadget for usage in small office and at home. The only trick to make this shredder last long and perform well is to simply follow the guidelines and not to overwork it. It would also be best not to shred sticky stuffs like stickers since the blades can get gummy in the long run and would lose its effectiveness. It still is worth the price.
