Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Aurora AS890C 8 Sheet Crosscut Paper/Credit Card Shredder with Basket
Customer Review: good security for a low price
Summary: 5 Stars
Got rid of my last shredder after many years of good use. Wanted something that would shred a bit better, in something other than strips, for better security. This met the bill and did it without costing an arm and a leg. Good shredder. The only issue I've had, which I have with all home shredders is that you can only do maybe 3-4 sheets at a time, before it starts getting a bit slow and strained. Says it will do 8, and probably will, but in my opinion you're better off with about half that.
Basket easily empties shredded content into a paper bag, which can be easily recycled or used to safely pack something.
With all the junk mail I get, as well as all the bank statements and stock stuff in the mail, I feel this is a good way to protect against identity theft and watch my personal privacy.
Customer Review: Effective and noisy
Summary: 4 Stars
I got this for its low price. It seems to work well, though each page over one slows the machine. Close to 8 pages and it nearly stops. I did manage to shred about 400 pages in a row before the motor overheated and turned the machine off. Shredding even one page is noisy, though. Close to 7 pages and there is noticeable drag on the motor--but it chews its way through to the e e n n d d. Shredding one credit card at a time is a small inconvenience for the price, and one does wish for more power.Customer Review: It doesn't cost a lot, and it fits my needs well.
Summary: 4 Stars
It's really a nice shredder for home use. I'm usually shredding personal papers at home, not a load of papers at an office, and it suits my needs well. It's really quite good for for the price.Customer Review: Eight sheets? Yeah, right.
Summary: 1 Stars
The shredder can only handle three sheets of paper, with difficulty, and sometimes it just quits running at all.Customer Review: happy with our as890c
Summary: 4 Stars
we've been putting off getting a shredder. i did a on line search and decided on the Aurora as890c unit. this machine will do the job with paper shredding. i don't push it by putting more than 2 sheets at a time, it handles them easily. i haven't tried a credit card yet so i cant comment on that. i would recommend this shredder for those who are using it for household needs.
