Customer Review: Great compact desktop and travel shredder!
Summary: 5 Stars
I really love this great little shredder. I travel alot for my work and wanted a very compact crosscut shredder that I can take with me. This little giant does a great job and easily sits on a desktop without taking up much space. The basket is about one gallon which is also a feature I was looking for. It does a great job shredding (it is not slow or weak) and you can also shred credit cards.
This shredder is a light duty shredder so if you have a lot of shredding to do it is not appropriate for that. You need to fold a regular sheet in half to use it and the basket fills up very quickly but it is great for traveling with and for light desktop use (mail, etc.)
It is exactly what it was advertised to be -- a small light duty crosscut desktop shredder.
Customer Review: Excellent little shredder
Summary: 5 Stars
We bought the Aurora AS420S shredder a month ago. It is working flawlessly. Its height, about 9 inches, makes it possible to store it comfortably on the kitchen counter, under the kitchen cabinets. We considered and inspected many other shredders. There was no other satisfactory shredder available in the conventional stores (Staples, OfficeMax, BestBuy, Walmart, etc.) with this height. One comment, though: the factory designer may wish to make the length of the shredded particles (almost 2 inches) shorter for the purpose of better security. Half of the present length, about 1 inch, would be better. Aurora AS420C Desktop-Style Cross-Cut Paper Shredder with BasketCustomer Review: Cost Effect, Good Quality

Just got this shredder and can't believe the build quality for the price. The plastic see through container looks like it's sandblasted and the top unit is very sturdy and has a good set of grinder blades. Everything is what I was looking for in a shredder, but my only complaint is that it cuts straight sheets (doesn't crumple the cuts) and it cuts in straight horizontal/vertical lines. It would have been much better if it was a cross cutter, since most documents aren't printed on diagonals. Anyways, a good work around for this is just shredding your documents by inserting them at their diagonal point first and feeding the shredder that way. That ensures all the information is shredded and can not be read. The build quality is amazing. Great product.Customer Review: Great little shredder!

I recommend this product, and would buy it again or give it as a gift.
This is the third desktop shredder I've purchased in about eight years. The others were very good, and they were for my Mom who is in her 70's. The first lasted about five years, and now she's on her second, not this brand. My floor model gave out and I decided to get a desktop model for myself.
Advantages of this model over the others we have owned:
*handle on the top motor housing for easy lifting
*cleaning tool (no more rummaging for screw drivers and crochet hooks!
*a pocket on each side for the cleaning tool
*cute oval design
*not as noisy as the bigger floor models
*really cuts the paper, doesn't just rip it up
Customer Review: Perfect for light use
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had this shredder for about 2 months and it works very well for my purpose (shredding junk mail). I only shred several sheets per day, or every couple of days, and I never continuously shred for more than 30-45 seconds (which is more then enough time to shred junk mail). I never feed more than 3 sheets at once, which means I have to open up each envelope to shred the contents, but that really isn't too much trouble.
The container has a small capacity but I just place an empty cardboard box beside the shredder and empty it often into this box. It's pretty convenient since the cover is very easy to pop on and off. Overall I am satisfied with this purchase. No paper jams so far..
