## Description

From the manufacturer desertcart Basics Desktop Paper Shredder The desertcart Basics Desktop Paper Shredder has simple features which make it easy to use and perfect for your home office. It shreds important documents and credit cards to keep your information safe. The small, cross-cut design keeps your information safer than strip-cut designs. Fast and secure Do you want to keep your information secure and shred documents quickly? The desertcart Basics Shredder's cross-cut size of 0.22 x 1.84 inches (5.56mm x 2.14 cm) makes it more secure than strip-cut designs and faster than micro-cut shredders. It'll help you get on with your life, with the peace of mind that your personal information is safe. Great for your home office From old tax records to bills and bank statements, everyone has sensitive information that needs to be kept safe. Insert up to six sheets of paper at a time to destroy your confidential information before discarding. You don't even need to remove small paper clips or staples. Shreds more than paper: Don't dull your scissors by cutting up plastic cards into small pieces. Insert them one at a time into the card slot of your desertcart Basics Shredder. It chews up old credit, debit, insurance, and ID cards. Avoid paper jams Paper jams are frustrating. Luckily, your desertcart Basics Shredder has a reverse feature to clear them. If paper gets stuck, just slide the switch to reverse mode to get the paper out, then continue shredding. Plus, the shredder head lifts off so you can easily empty the 14.4 litre bin and help avoid paper jams altogether.

Review: Surprisingly, reliable and works better than expected - Excellent cross shredder, works much better than expected, a pleasant surprise. I would recommend you also buy some Swordfish shredder oil lubricant, it works better with it. Without the oil paper gets stuck quicker and it struggles to shred the paper. When needed (read the instructions), apply the oil by sandwiching streaks of oil between 2 pieces of paper and feed it through,. After you have oiled it, 3 sheets of paper goes through very faster. If you plan to shred more than a carrier bag full of documents, remember to oil it now and again. After about an 45 minutes of constant use, t will get hot and the red light means it needs to cool down, however, you don't have to wait too long for it to work again, about 15-20 minutes, the red light changes back to green and it is ready to use again. I took a chance buying a smaller machine, I love it, it works well, I am glad I bought it. It cuts credit cards up efficiently and quickly too. It's the prefect size for the home but works just as well as other branded and larger machines. It stays under my desk, ready to use. I love this machine, it is the best one I have purchased and excellent value for the money, I paid just over £30, If you need a reliable cross shredder, I highly recommend this one.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really happy with this purchase !
*by D***D on 24 July 2021*

Got this out the box and started using it within 10 minutes - super simple to setup! Trust me, once you get going it's quite addictive. I couldn't stop shredding haha. And very therapeutic to finally shred away all that legacy paperwork you've been storing away in the back of your cupboard for the last 10-15 years! Everything is electronic based these days, so it's good to finally get rid of all that clutter paperwork no longer needs (phone bills, bank statements etc). Some tips: when the shredder bin looks full, give it a shake and you'll often find there's plenty more room still. When it REALLY looks full, remove the lid and shove the shredded paper down - you'll have lots of space again. Also ... it will go red (overheat) after 30 mins or so of non-stop shredding. This didn't bother me, I used the "cool down" time (roughly 30 mins) to tidy up all the shredding I'd done and organise the next batch of papers to shred. I had 1 paper jam during my shredding bonanza but I followed the manual which said spray some cooking oil on the paper jam and blades. It was resolved quite easily. The only 1 flaw I found with this product is the lid can sometimes get jammed in quite tightly and it can need a bit of strength and tug to remove the lid. I notice this only seems to happen if you don't put it on 100% correctly in the first place. Overall highly recommended for the price. More shredding for me tomorrow morning.. I can't wait !
