If you're trying to shred volumes of letter size paper, this is your shredder. I wanted to get rid of a file cabinet full of old financial documents, plus boxes in the garage and this saved me tons of money I would have spent if I'd taken everything to a professional shredder (or called a shredding company truck) and tons of time if I'd used a regular shredder. Plus it shreds everything into smaller sized, more secure confetti, which in turn takes up less space in your trash/recycling and is less of a mess than cross-cut shredded strips.
This shredder is designed for you to open the lid, place several hundred sheets of letter size paper into the bin, close the lid, and walk away. You get other things done while it shreds. Amazing. Come back when it's done and load more. Also, all of these shredders that you can compare it to - they all have "run times" which means how long can it run for before it gets hot and needs to take a break. This has one of the longest run times, so it will shred way longer than the others before you need to stop. Which means more boxes of files done sooner. Awesome.
Does it have any drawbacks? Yes.
If you want to shred paper that isn't letter size, you won't do well using the letter bin. You need to hand feed through the top. The top feed does not accept a heavy load. You can't put very much down it at a time. If you like to hand feed a lot at a time, this isn't the shredder for you. Also, in the letter bin, paper that isn't normal paper (different weight - too light, too heavy, has folds in it) sometimes it doesn't pull through and the whole batch waits while it spins its gears and you have to pop the lid open and pull the paper on the bottom out and reset the stack.
So I shredded probably 20 boxes worth, sold my file cabinet, and took it to my office and kept going.
Ok, so then - about the customer service that I mention in my review title: I did have a problem. It's been 3 months... and the entire shredder broke. The main gear system just destroyed itself. Total mechanical failure. (All internal - nothing dangerous.) I was worried that I was going to be one of those 1 star reviews. "Oh why didn't I believe those reviewers?" (But every single shredder you read has some.) So I searched online for Aurora, found their website, emailed customer service and got a response immediately. Not days or hours - minutes. (Yes, it was during business hours.) They had me reply and send photos of the damage / failure plus proof of purchase. They basically said, ok, no problem, you're covered, give us your address so we can ship you a new one. (I did not need to return the old one.) They were so easy to deal with and no hassles - and yes, they spoke English.
PROS:
Fast
Quiet
Excels with letter size paper
Produces micro-cut particles
Shreds on its own
Lengthy run time
Great customer service
Does not require continuous (expensive) oiling
CONS:
Not as good with hand fed shredding
Can stall on letter size if abnormal
Did break after 3 months (but was quickly replaced for free)
Final Comment: At this price point, and with their service backing their 1 year warranty, if you have a lot of letter size shredding to do in the near future, it's awfully hard to justify picking a competitor.

I like this shredder
I looked for a while on shredders and ordered a fellow shredder but it never showed up so I defaulted back to this shredder and it came right within a few days. I'm a verified purchaser of this shredder So hey Amazon stop taking my review down! What I like about this shredder contrary to other reviewers is that it very clearly states that they test the shredder before it comes to your home. So you might find some shredded bits and pieces in your basket. It's not used. It's tested. It's got a couple quirks as far as the consistency of the ability to take manually fed papers into the machine, but otherwise I have no problem with it. Just don't shred heavy things in it. That's not what it's for. It's for papers and lots of papers. But if you're jamming 20-30 sheets at a time, you're probably gonna have a bad day. So use the auto feed and you won't have a bad day. In other words, use the shredder how it was intended and you'll enjoy it for years to come. It tells you everything that you need to do in consideration for a long life of this unit. The unit is not made of steel, or metal, or titanium, or nickel. It's made of plastic, and the gears are made of metal. And the gears are shredding at P7, so don't be shoving heavy stuff into the shredder, or you won't enjoy the experience. And you probably end up with some of those other pictures, or it shows that the gears fold it in on themselves. My experience with this shredder has been great. I use it at home. I shred a lot of papers. It's got a large basket and an enjoyable experience knowing that those papers are going to be shredded at P7.
