Pen+Gear 6-Sheet Micro-cut Paper/Credit Card Shredder with 3.4 Gallon Bin, Black,Home and Office use

The shredder itself was fine. The only drawback I found was it was hard to pick up. you had to grab it from the bottom. if there was even an indentation molded into the side that would help.

Work better than my regular shredder. This shredder cut my paper in small size, keeping my sensitive information secured! if impossible for anyone to tape everything back... unless they going to spend months without break. I fully recommended this product to anyone who needs a shredder.

This is a great shredder. I feel more secure using this cross-cut shredder as opposed to my old straight cut shredder. It is a great size for my home office. It is a perfect fit for under my desk. It does not get in my way at all. Easily handles 6 sheets at a time. The credit card shredder is an added bonus. Has all the features, reverse & overheat included. The shredder also has a nifty carry handle to remove the top for easy cleaning. The bottom bin has a see thru window which allows you to see when it needs to be emptied. I had to shred a pile of papers which took me about 20 minutes. The shredder was warm but did not overheat. Overall I would definitely recommend this simple shredder for the home office use.

My previous shredder burned out and I needed a replacement that wasn’t going to break the bank. For micro shredding documents, this is a steal especially if you get it on sale like I did. It’s a bit smaller than I expected, but gets the job done and didn’t break the bank. Happy with purchase.

I been looking for a quality shredder to use in my home and I was given the opportunity to try and review this one. Once I got it I set it up and began shredding papers I have been stacking up. This shredder works great for what I need it for. I like that it shreds to confitti like so now I know my identity is safe. I have been shredding everything that I would not throw away with my info on it. On the top of the machine is a sliding button it has fwd, auto, off ,and rev I keep mine on auto so I know it's always ready to use. It also has a over heat light that will light up if the shredder get to hot. The top of the machine has a nice weight to it and the bucket is no an light but can hold a good amount of shredding. It also has a window on the bucket so you can see how much shreds you have in it instead of lifting off the top. Overall this is a quality shredder and I will definitely be using this alot. Also I like that it not so bog so it won't take up alot of space

Nice sized shredder that does what it was made for. I live in a studio, so I opted for a smaller size and it fits right under the desk. It is not intended for heavy use, which is exactly what I needed. This is perfect for home offices. This would not be good in an work office setting where there is higher demand. It shreds papers, credit cards, and even staples. There is an indicator light showing that it is on and if it gets overheated. The collection bin is 3.4 gallons, so a small bin. It has modes of off, auto, forward and reverse.only shares 6 sheets at a time to prevent paper jams. It is super easy to set up, simply place the top on bin and plug it in. The maximum continuous use is 4 minutes, so any longer is likely to overheat the shredder. It uses a micro cut which means it cuts into tiny pieces, offer better security. This is perfect for home use, to shred any sensitive documents. Overall, I would recommend this product for the home and if you are looking for a more specific type of shredder. If you are just shredding papers, then a crosscut shredder will work. However, if you anticipate to shred potentially sensitive materials, such as happens with home use, then micro cut is the best option.

Once I received this compact shredder and I had to try it out. It is so amazing not only does it shred but instead of just small thin strips it cuts them in tiny thin strips. By doing that I feel if someone stole your shredded paper it would be really super hard for then to try and piece it back together. So I love this little machine and would recommend it to anyone.

This is my 5th Shredder...it seems they've gotten smaller over the years %26 this one has a delayed motor after items are shredded. The motor doesn't just quit after shredding - it runs again about 5 seconds then stops. Perhaps this is a clearing action for the blades.

It does shred into tiny, unreadable bits but that's about the only good thing about it. I would not recommend this item. My gets jammed about every 5 pages and I have to shred one at a time. It overheats too often to be useful. So, unless you don't plan on using this very often, I suggest to keep looking.

Received this item as part of a Spark Review. The Pen+Gear brand is trademark belonging to Walmart Inc., Bentonville, AR. The shredder appeared to be packed well from it's manufacture point (China). Unwrapped the power cord, shredder unit and basket from plastic bags. Followed the set-up instructions from the Operation Manual included with the product. Plugged the shredder into a wall outlet, moved the sliding switch from the OFF to AUTO position and the green "power" LED illuminated. Attempted to shred a 8.5" X 11" sheet of paper, but nothing happened. Followed all the troubleshooting steps in the manual, but the shredder will not engage. Apparently the motor has a defect. I can not review this product any further.
