    AmazonBasics 8-Sheet High-Security Micro-Cut Paper, CD, and Credit Card Shredder with Pullout Basket

    • The only negative comment I might have ( & it's not really a neg.) is that when we first got it, my husband didn't like the angle at which you have to insert the paper, but I think that is because he was accustomed to putting it in straight down from the top with our other machines
    • but once I got the right angle I had no problem
    • My only gripe with the machine is the angle in which you need to feed the paper
    • (It’s sturdy but small, so perhaps not best for constant high-volume shredding.)Angle of insertion is NO problem—very easy to get used to
    • Works well, have had for about a year now...the only issue is that the paper does feed into it at an odd angle, the wheels are good, and its easily moved around - I use it on carpet so its a little more inconvenient that on a hard floor, but not enough to aggravate me - however it works fine and shreds into tiny pieces that could not be put together again
    • the angle at which you feed the paper in is kind of awkward
    • Has to be at the right angle to get the paper in there and activate the sensor.
    • I would buy this again - 4 star only because of the odd angle for paper feed.
    • I see what other reviewers meant by the "strange" feed angle.
    • I'm actually liking the angle of feeding items to be shredded.
    • Shreds just fine but the paper must be put in at a very specific (neither comfortable or user friendly) angle for the shredder to work.
    • The angle of the feed slot is awkward and that is why only 4 stars
    • If you don't get the paper in perfectly straight, the shredder works as normal - I even purposefully put a paper in at a terrible angle and the shredder pulled it through with no issues
    • Takes two hands and just the right angle
    • This failed as of about seven light-duty months on the job, probably as a result of a defective switch or wiring
    • I also try to limit the number of sheets to 4-5 max as I get a lot of jams
    • It does the trick and works as it should.
