Amazing Customer Service (if you have a problem)
If you’re trying to shred volumes of letter size paper, this is your shredder. I wanted to get rid of a file cabinet full of old financial documents, plus boxes in the garage and this saved me tons of money I would have spent if I’d taken everything to a professional shredder (or called a shredding company truck) and tons of time if I’d used a regular shredder. Plus it shreds everything into smaller sized, more secure confetti, which in turn takes up less space in your trash/recycling and is less of a mess than cross-cut shredded strips.This shredder is designed for you to open the lid, place several hundred sheets of letter size paper into the bin, close the lid, and walk away. You get other things done while it shreds. Amazing. Come back when it’s done and load more. Also, all of these shredders that you can compare it to – they all have “run times” which means how long can it run for before it gets hot and needs to take a break. This has one of the longest run times, so it will shred way longer than the others before you need to stop. Which means more boxes of files done sooner. Awesome.Does it have any drawbacks? Yes.If you want to shred paper that isn’t letter size, you won’t do well using the letter bin. You need to hand feed through the top. The top feed does not accept a heavy load. You can’t put very much down it at a time. If you like to hand feed a lot at a time, this isn’t the shredder for you. Also, in the letter bin, paper that isn’t normal paper (different weight – too light, too heavy, has folds in it) sometimes it doesn’t pull through and the whole batch waits while it spins its gears and you have to pop the lid open and pull the paper on the bottom out and reset the stack.So I shredded probably 20 boxes worth, sold my file cabinet, and took it to my office and kept going.Ok, so then – about the customer service that I mention in my review title: I did have a problem. It’s been 3 months… and the entire shredder broke. The main gear system just destroyed itself. Total mechanical failure. (All internal – nothing dangerous.) I was worried that I was going to be one of those 1 star reviews. “Oh why didn’t I believe those reviewers?” (But every single shredder you read has some.) So I searched online for Aurora, found their website, emailed customer service and got a response immediately. Not days or hours – minutes. (Yes, it was during business hours.) They had me reply and send photos of the damage / failure plus proof of purchase. They basically said, ok, no problem, you’re covered, give us your address so we can ship you a new one. (I did not need to return the old one.) They were so easy to deal with and no hassles – and yes, they spoke English.PROS:FastQuietExcels with letter size paperProduces micro-cut particlesShreds on its ownLengthy run timeGreat customer serviceDoes not require continuous (expensive) oilingCONS:Not as good with hand fed shreddingCan stall on letter size if abnormalDid break after 3 months (but was quickly replaced for free)Final Comment: At this price point, and with their service backing their 1 year warranty, if you have a lot of letter size shredding to do in the near future, it’s awfully hard to justify picking a competitor.

Operates as stated. Follow the directions and up and running within thirty minutes from unpacking.
Very strong, following instructions is key point as in staples in one direction no folded paper. Manual feed for other things. Impressed with the shredding itself maybe 1/100 of smaller units. Getting ready to retire shredding a life time of documents doing roughly 200 sheets every 6 minutes. Wish Id have got one years ago. Well worth the money.One thing though, get the professional Synthetic Shredder oil and use per instructions. Had to do seperate search for that.JD

Once unboxed, I was immediately blown away by its near-silent operation—so quiet, you can hardly tell it’s running.Every sheet of paper glides through effortlessly, making shredding almost addictive. And because I wanted to give this amazing device the care it deserves, I reached out to customer service for extra maintenance tips (even though it comes with a helpful manual). When you invest nearly $400 (including an extended warranty), it’s great to have that peace of mind.If you’re searching for a high-quality, whisper-quiet shredder that delivers exceptional results, the Aurora Shredder is the perfect pick. It’s reliable, smooth, and backed by excellent customer support—truly a must-have for any office or home.

Best Low/Mid Cost Shredder
This is, hands down, the best shredder I’ve ever owned. First, the auto-feed is a must. If you have stacks of 8.5×11 paper that needs shredding, this is your product. I’ve had Fellows for years that I used to hand feed paper into, which was great at the time but now, I need the auto-feed. I decided to get rid of my file cabinets and tons of paper, buy a high speed scanner (Epson RR-600W) and make all my files electronic. It was working out great until I realized that I have hours and hours of shedding to do. I recently tried an HP shredder with auto-feed and that was a disaster. The paper kept getting caught on a ledge where the paper feeds in and it would stop barely into a stack. So I looked for something that wouldn’t get caught on anything (didn’t care if it was P4 or P5 cross-cut) and I saw this one. It was a little more than I wanted to spend, but instead of calling out a shredding truck or taking bags and bags of paper to a place that may or may not shred my confidential docs, I spent the money and I’m really happy that I did. I can put 200 pages in this machine and go about my business while it does all the work. I think it’s about 8 – 9 minutes to shred a full stack (mainly because it is a P5 and the shreds are pretty tiny). You can’t leave staples in the auto-shred because of the way the paper is pulled into the machine, which is the best thing about this shredder. I just feel the edges and rip the staple of the corner (I’m not gonna site around pulling out staples with a remover). The manual feed takes staples and odd shaped docs. This thing is fairly quiet for a shredder which makes me happy too. It’s on casters so I can pull it in and out of the little cubby that I have it in. The paper bin is also has casters on the back to you can tilt and roll it over to wherever you want to empty it. Aside from my high speed scanner, this one of my favorite purchases ever. Dont waste your money on a top loader where the paper sits upright in a feeder, like a printer, just get one of these. Either size would be superior to any other shredder function in this price range.

Great shredder
This is a great shredder. Shredders with auto feeds get expensive fast. This shredder has a dependable auto feed which means you can be doing something else while close by. It would be nice if could shred more pages at the same time, but all and all, this is a quality product and at a good price if you have a need for more than just the low end shredders.

Very quiet while it churns away. I was impressed by its capacity yet it was so quiet, I had to check if it was actually shredding the paper!
