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 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 could 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 whole teams need to shred stacks of documents throughout the day they’re overkill for a typical one- or two-person home office. Price: We looked for paper shredders listed under $200 from major manufacturers, with a strong preference for those priced closer to or under $100.After all, a cheaper, more frustrating shredder isn’t worth the savings if you never use it and just chuck your crumpled bank statements into your recycling bin. Though this model is slightly bigger than eight-sheet shredders with lift-up tops, it still fits under most desks, and we think the pullout bin and wheels are conveniences that make it easier to keep up a shredding habit. It can handle old plastic credit cards, as well, and it has a separate slot for data DVDs, which is helpful for reducing wear and tear on the main shredder gears. Like other micro-cut shredders, this Amazon Basics shredder chomps documents into tiny shreds measuring around 5/32 by 15/32 inches, making any sensitive paperwork all but impossible to reassemble. Whereas some other tested shredders jammed or emitted a burning smell after a few minutes, the eight-sheet Amazon Basics ran trouble-free well past its five-minute run time as we continuously fed it batches of paper-it tore through about 360 pages (or 90 four-page credit card statements) before the bin was full. Condition: For parts or not working, Condition: The shredder turns on and the motor will run but the shredding mechanism does not move.The Amazon Basics 8-Sheet High-Security Micro-Cut Shredder with Pullout Basket typically costs more ($5 to $25 higher at this writing) than competing eight-sheet micro-cut shredders, but it’s worth the investment.
