The Aurora brand seems to work best for us. We shred any and all items containing personal information prior to hitting the trash can. We have had three over the course of some 30 years. We always purchase at least a 10 page and while the price is a little premium it is well worth it after having had a number of less robust and almost similarly priced units from other manufacturers. We do realize these items regardless of the manufacturer will wear out, it is just a matter of time.
This shredder is not the most expensive but does the same job as the more expensive ones. It is good for home use but you have to make sure that you do not overload it. It is compact and doubles as a small trashcan.
Great shredder for the price. I had a more expensive larger shredder prior to this one and it lasted 1 year, made more noise, and didn't shred as well as this one. My daughter shreds everything in sight and she likes it, so it gets the thumbs up from me.
what is the noise level (decibels) of this shredder?
