Works wonderful for a small business
As you can see in the photo, it does a great job. This was used just the very first day it’s not to be blocked if you were running a big company but if you were a small company, this is the one to buy.

Photos If safety is an issue the bottom of this shredder the gears are not exposed, see photo 1, photo 2 is the Amzn brand 6 sheet cross cut.
This shredder can be used set on another basket, there is an extending side arm to help it fit over a larger bin. Some shredders are fit to only work with the basket they are sold with. A small basket is nice for saving space but if you do occasionally have a large job having the option of using a much larger bin will save you the frustration of very frequent stops to empty the bin.
Strip cut paper can make great free packing material, stuffing crafts and for crafters/ gift shops using colorful paper to make crinkle strips for decoration or gift bag filler. Bunches of strips can be easily scooped up to fill boxes and they are not so tiny that they scatter like...confetti, which is what micro cut paper is. I read the strips can be used as pet litter or bedding, garden mulch....etc... perhaps cross cut would work for some of those things as well,.
This strip cutter for its small size is good. I think the 8 sheet label is accurate, smaller batches of 4 pass with ease.
Size is great if you want a shredder more capable then a tiny desktop but as small as a bathroom wastebasket. This easily fits under a desk but small/ short enough to sit on a desk/ work station.
If shredding medical records, sensitive material, it is a judgment call, the cross cut at this time Amzn brand is $4 more.
This is Not for cardboard shredding. I tested 2 pieces from a delivery box and though it did shred, the card board first needed to be cut down to fit the shredder, the shredder did cut through without jamming but it seems a lot of work to cut up a big box and the shredder did warm up so I think doing this often would burnout the machine.
I also tried a heavy stock report cover, if done one at a time, it easily shredded this cardstock.
2 pages of the same card stock and the shredder was slowed down considerably.
Delivery was a disaster. The Amazon box was dumped at my door completely torn open, ripped apart, contents looked like they been through some trauma. Prime delivery is consistently bad.

Strip cut vs cross cut comes down to speed vs security. Strip cut is faster, cross cut is more secure.Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2021

This is my out of the box first impression of the shredder. I bought this for the sole purpose of shredding paper for crafting projects. So far it's a disappointment. The first two pictures show what the results were when I shredded old photographs. This has a capacity of four sheets of paper so since photo paper is thicker, I only use four pictures. As you can see from the pictures the shredding was less than great. First off, the pictures were pulled into the shredder at an angle even though I placed them straight. The edges were jagged and how a straight shredder shreds and an angle or a curve is baffling to me. I tried three different times and each time I got an unfavorable result. None of the pieces are even, some are curved some are jagged. Some of the middle pieces were straight but the edges were still not smooth. It will be more time consuming for me to go through each piece of paper picking out the good ones and throwing away the bad ones than it would be if I just take a rotary cutter and a ruler and just cut them by hand. Not what I expected. Maybe it's not built for anything beyond regular paper but I figure if it can shred CDs and credit cards, a few photos shouldn't be a problem. Next I shredded two sheets of plain white paper. I only use two sheets of plain white paper. The third picture shows what the edges of the paper look like. Not only did it wrinkle the paper, but it also didn't give it complete shred. The middle part of the paper came out fine but both edges came out looking like garbage. I will keep experimenting for a few days but I'm definitely saving the boxes for this in case I decide to return it. I got this to save time and make my projects easier. That's not what I've gotten so far.
