Customer Review: It cures paranoia
Summary: 5 Stars
I went on a cleaning binge and emptied drawers full of old financial statements, tax returns, all kinds of stuff. I am not that paranoid and usually just throw the odd form out in the garbage. Two or three yard waste bags full of my info was a different story, though, so I set out to find a shredder.
The Aurora seemed well-received and while it clearly is too small to be used in the Pentagon, I hoped it would last through one big job and then serve for the modest use it would get thereafter.
And, it did survive! This is amazing because this machine is pretty marginal power-wise. Even two sheets of paper slows it down. It gets hot and smells like impending doom. If you stubbornly keep going, it stops and you have to wait for it to cool down, praying that it will start up again. I blew the thermal overload a couple of times, had to fish out stuck stuff and generally used it harder than it was designed for, but it always came back to life. Good job!
It worked on an unsolicited credit card, but I didn't try a cd.
The drawbacks are that you have to feed the paper into the slot carefully and evenly. Otherwise, it pulls it in crookedly and sometimes jambs. It is not that easy to clean out stuck paper. I folded some thin cardboard to make sort of a scoop, but the temptation is to use some metal device, like knives in the toaster. The reverse function helps, but not in all cases.
Note that shredded paper achieves a volume one million times greater than the original sheets. The basket fills up in a hurry.
This is a home unit, suitable for the monthly shredding most of us are faced with. I suggest not letting it pile up to long because this unit requires patient feeding, only one paper at a time, and it will take you a long time to finish the job. If you don't abuse it, I'll bet the Aurora will last for a very long time and will prove to be a great investment.
When you see depictions of criminals searching through your curbside trash, you will only laugh because you shredded your secret documents and any sense of paranoia will be fleeting at most.
