Digital camera reviews of Aurora AS810SD 8-Sheet Strip-Cut Paper, CD and Credit Card Shredder Basket
Digital camera Review: Cheap, but not worth it
Summary: 2 Stars
My first surprise was the small size of the basket. I have no reason to believe the published dimensions are incorrect but, I didn't compare them to others -- caveat emptor, my fault.
But it hardly matters, because the blades got dull in just a few months. The manufacturer rates it to cut 8 sheets at a time. I'm sure I never tried to put more than that through the machine (I've been careful, after having stripped the plastic gears on my previous shredder), but now it will only shred reliably if I feed it one page at a time.
Avoid this one
Digital camera Review: DISAPPOINTING
Summary: 2 Stars
Before ordering this item, I had read some other purchasers' opinions and felt this shredder would be as satisfactory as my Fellowes [Model DM3].
Had I the Aurora shredder first, I might have been content with its function. However, after having a Fellowes shredder for better than 15 years, that worked effortlessly [until I inadvertently shred a document with a thick binding and it jammed the mechanism and ultimately botched the sensor], the Aurora is a huge disappointment.
When feeding papers into the sensor it takes some coaxing to activate; if the paper slides 'out of the sensor's range' it will hang there until another sheet is fed to activate. The cost was nominal.
I guess the saying, you get what you pay for is applicable here.
I'd look into a Fellowes before getting this one.
Digital camera Review: Damn good for the value..Worth it
Summary: 5 Stars
Great buy. Grab it before its out of stock. I did couple of searches for a good Shreder and found that all of them with all shredding capabilities are almost for 50 bucks.
I found this and read all the reviews and got this product. Am using this since couple of months and found it great with No trouble at all.
Adavantages:
1] Shreds almost 8 to 10 pages simultaneously.
2] Also easily shreds unopened envelops which contains the dummy plastic credit cards.
3] Shreds CD/DVD into 4 to 6 pieces. One at a time.
4] Shreds Credit Cards. One at a time.
5] Shreds Stapled bunch of papers.
6] All this for a price 29.99 bucks is a WORTH.
Cons:
1] CD/DVD is cut into couple of pieces. So if its your personal CD/DVD you might need to shred the shreded peices too.
2] Same goes with important credit cards.
3] But no worries its just an extra additional one time effort. Grab it :).
Overall its awesome and I found no real cons. in it. Its a shredder with all features at a price of only paper shredder from many other brands. So, close your eyes and grab it.
Digital camera Review: Didn't work for very long
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this shredder a few months ago. It has seen very little use. This being the end of the year I thought I would shred some of my old records. Well it burned out rather quickly. And the can filled up so fast I had to dump it about every 25 sheets of paper. I would not recommend this machine unless you want to spend $30.00 to shred a small amount of paper.Digital camera Review: Do NOT buy
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this item as a gift for my parents. It ONLY worked the first time they used it. Then the switch didn't work after that and now since they waited to use it for the away after receiving it as a Christmas gift I'm unable to return it for a full refund. I will never purchase through Amazon again!
