Worth the $139 sale price‼️
4 Stars
Worth the $139 sale price‼️
WILL NOT SHREAD:Will not shred: large paper clips, Unopened junk mail, window or insulated envelopes, continuous forms, newsprint, bound pages (for example: notepads, checkbooks, magazines, etc..), transparencies, laminated documents, cardboard, any items with adhesives, hard materials or plastic (except plastic Credit Cards and CDs).Maximum recommended daily usage rates: 100 sheets, 5 credit cards‼️I think this was a good deal for the capacity and size for $139! I researched them for quite a while and I’m willing to give this a try. There was a small plastic piece broken off in the packaging but I can’t find where it goes. Hopefully it won’t affect the operation/longevity of the shredder. If I find where it goes I’ll try to superglue it.I have only run one sheet of paper to the machine and it actually shredded it! I have not tried it with 18 sheets or a CD or a credit card yet.One of the reviews said you have to use a plastic liner for the shredded basket or the paper leaks out of the bottom of the bin. I haven’t checked that part out yet but I don’t see any paper floating around on my floor.If you’re interested, watch for a deal .

Size: 1 8 Sheet Cross Cut 6-GalVerified Purchase
This shredder is a Godsend.

It handles just about anything I could 'throw' at it: thick envelopes, credit cards, cardboard, TYVEK packaging, small bubble wrap... It does it relatively quietly and pretty neatly, too. Should something get stuck - a rare occasion, the simple reverse control gets it dislodged efficiently. It is quite mobile on the casters as well. The shred is a fine one so all safety concerns about the content are allayed.

One thing, however, you'll learn to not shred it to capacity, as the items need some room for the contents to fall into the receptacle or it won't complete the shred. Also, i find that the enclosed bags are a bit small; I use a 10 - 13 gallon trash bag to line the receptacle for an easy retrieval and haul of the shredded bits.

All in all a fine purchase for your shredding needs.

For years, I was spoiled on an industrial shredder at work like something from a Mad Max movie. One day, a psycho office admin "cleaned it up" (threw it away). So many tears. Ah well.

Though not as obscenely muscular, this little shredder is a respectable / affordable home replacement. It handles the claimed number of sheets just fine, so it's pretty fast, and it seems quiet to me. I have not run it continuously for hours, in order to check for thermal shutdown, but so far it seems solid & durable. The bin is reasonably sized, and easy enough to access (if just a little plastic-y). Fitting in collection bags is slightly contrived: I tear a little hole in the bag to hook it (see pic), but that hardly seems a reason to skip this decent shredder. It doesn't take up a too much floor space. I like the switch options that include sensor shredding (only shreds upon sensing paper being fed); that works well. The window - to see when it fills up - is nice and large, for easy viewing. I haven't yet tried on plastic disk media (like data DVDs), credit cards, or door-to-door marketers, but I like that it's designed to handle them (well, two out of three).

Yes, I would repeat buy / recommend it.

(I also bought the suggested lubrication sheets to use periodically. Their recommended frequency of use is surprisingly low. So the trick will be remembering where I put the darn lube sheets, when they eventually become needed, ... oh, and remembering to use them at all.)

Size: 1 8 Sheet Cross Cut 6-GalVerified Purchase
If you have been using those $80 shredders, this thing will amaze you! It does one thing, and does it well. In a week, I have shredded three garden trash bags of paper, including over a dozen old cards. No jam or stopping from heat issues, yet!

.  I was using two old & cheap Fellowes shredders that had a 10 minute run with 60 minute rest rating.  They would slow me down jamming and overheating.  Then, one just failed and the other started sounding like the motor was giving out.
. This Bonsaii has already done 3 times the shredding in less than half the time!  I am about half way done and expect this shredder to keep going for years.
. The 18 sheets warning is probably for #10 paper. I am shredding thicker stock, usually old bank statements and bills. I'd say about 10 of those sheets is the limit, but my old "8 page" units could only do about 5 of them.

Pros:
- It is relatively quiet.
- It just keeps going.
- It shreds two credit cards side-by-side.

Cons:
- The basket was broken just above the clear plastic window, making removal and insertion feel a bit flimsy. I went ahead and taped the break, because this thing is so much better than what I was using, and I wanted to get this shredding job done. I have started an email with Bonsaii to see if I can get a new basket.
- Nothing else, really...

Gripes:
- I just bought this for $169.99, and 10 days later it has dropped to $142.79. Do I go to the trouble to return it and reorder it just to save $27.20 (~16%)? Maybe... I need to get this shredding done and this Bonsaii is doing it (:>)

I would suggest this unit to any heavy shredder in the home and small office environment!

I love this shredder so much better than the one I got 5 years ago that would overheat often. THIS one does NOT overheat! It just keeps shredding. You need to watch the bin and empty it before it reaches the top, though. If it gets jammed, which doesn't happen often, you will need to unplug it, remove the top and the 8 screws to carefully remove the cover from the shredding blades and everything will fall out. But overall, it's worth every penny. I'm moving and shredded 40 boxes of paper so far, and only one paper jam :)

Came in on time and works great. Just don’t overload. Only wish it had a bigger collection bin but you can’t have everything. Good price!

The product is a lot quieter than the one we have before, from a different company. When you shred the paper, after the shredding has finished it does an automatic reverse which is good as stops the cutters getting clogged up. I have also brought the oil sheets but not tried this yet. It was easy to put together, the drawer is not so sturdy as the one we replaced but still works very good. Take 18 sheets of paper with ease and does not over heat after a short while.

Unwrap it carefully. Buy the oil but not the bags.
I am trying to be as green as possible and in early retirement I have been shredding a lot of old work related documents as well as my daily i newspaper and as much of our lockdown delivery cardboard as fits through the shredder.
First impressions: It arrived as predicted within 48 hours and was well packed and Undamaged.
As described by others the Castors look fragile and are not free running even after lubrication.

It was bought to replace well used (10yrs+ ) but jammed and burned out high end domestic Fellowes machine with a easy to empty basket. ( see comparison in photo ).

I am using the plastic bag that came around it in the box, it was also supplied with a single bag inside as well. Buying commercial see through polythene shredder bags will be convenient but they cost 16p each and won’t biodegrade.

I oiled the cutter blades before use.

Performance after filling one bag to brim:
Noise - much, much less noisy than my old machine and more pleasant pitch - you could work in the same room.
Capacity- 20 mins continuous use including up to 16 sheets of professional magazine shiny paper, several i newspapers torn in half lengthways, amazon cardboard book delivery cartons folded double thickness to full width (22cm)
I didn’t try it on copier paper.
The cooling fan comes on while in use but at no time did it run over after finishing shredding an item.
As reported by others, for security purposes, the chads are wider than other machines but for composting this does not matter. I suspect this also the reason for its quietness and speed.
It cross cut the newspaper much more effectively and therefore the shreddings sat down in the bin more easily. As a result I got a lot more in the bag than my old machine.
I try not to compact the shreddings as that defeats the speed of compost making.
Speed: for home use it was comparable to the old Fellowes and for a once a day session I am content
but you cannot fill an auto feed and walk away.
There was a slight delay on both starting and starting to reverse - this might be a good thing. It stopped 2 seconds after the cutters cleared. It stopped automatically on the first fill but I am not sure if that is a feature.

Ergonomics: it’s lower than the old machine but the slot is same distance from the front. This made it more of a strain to feed it while standing but it’s shape and size and the (careful use of ) the castors mean it would be ideal for sitting under a desk.
The bag sits over the rim at the back and sides and I did not have a significant spillage, the clips at the front are a bit fiddly but once you master the technique it clips in and prevents leaks at the front.
I would not want to tip the shreddings straight from the bin into a plastic bin bag as the plastic felt quite fragile and the rectangular shape would not fit easily into the bag for a second fill and protruding plastic lugs would tear the bag. But transferring shreddings form the transparent bag to another bag was pure dead simple.

Reliability: no comment

Excellent first impressions. If it lasts then it should be more than adequate to supply my Allottment with brown material to go with the kitchen waste and grass clippings
