Digital camera reviews of Aurora AS890C 8-Sheet Cross-Cut Paper/Credit Card Shredder with Basket
Digital camera Review: Does the job, looks well made
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a small shredder, suitable for home use. It's a little noisy, but it shreds quickly. It looks to be well made of good quality materials, a surprise given its modest price. Too bad we can't shred all those credit card offers at the source.Digital camera Review: Don't buy
Summary: 1 Stars
I would NOT recommend this item. I had to return it twice. First time, the plastic covering the wires of the shredder were easily exposed. The second shredder would not stop trying to shred despite there being no paper. I try all the trouble shooting technique listed on their website such as running cardboard or paper with couple drops of vegetable oil to reset the sensor w/o any success. I only had the shredder less than a week. I would not buy this brand. I'm going to get myself a Fellowes shredder.
By the way, the machine is loud. I know it's a shredder but I should not be able to hear it from across the house.
If you decide to get this despite all the warning, keep the box in case something breaks in less than a week like me.
Digital camera Review: Don't buy this product!
Summary: 1 Stars
After reading the reviews for this product, I thought it would be ideal for my personal home use, and it worked for the most part. Until! After a month when going through a number of old junk mail, it clogged and I had to manually unclog it. Then when it tipped over the entire shredder came apart. It was such a mess, that I was afraid to try to reasemble it. I called their 1-800 number to get a replacement seeing that this item is still under warranty. They refused to honor the warranty, and would not work with me to have the product replaced. The item is top heavy and if tipped over will shatter to pieces.
So do not buy this product and expect to get appropriate customer service if there is a problem.
Digital camera Review: Don't give up!
Summary: 3 Stars
The first one I had died mysteriously after shredding 1 credit card, but Amazon was helpful with a replacement and was quick to reimburse my return shipping cost. The one I have now seems to be working fine. Considering the price I'm happy with the shredder - it feels solid and seems to handle occasional use as expected. Remember to keep the box just in case! There's bound to be a few defects in the production process at this price point.
If this one hangs on I'd bump it up a star. (Or down one if it doesn't!)
Digital camera Review: EXCELLENT
Summary: 5 Stars
THIS IS THE FOURTH SHREDDER I HAVE HAD. THE FIRST ONE I HAD WAS A CHEAP ONE BUT THE OTHER TWO WERE IN THE SAME PRICE RANGE AS THE AURORA. THEY WERE JUNK. OTHER THAN BEING NOISY THE AURORA FAR OUTPERFORMS THE OTHERS IN ALL CATEGORIES.
