VidaTeco Paper Shredder for Home Office10-Sheet Cross-Cut Shredder with US Patented Cutter,Also Shreds Card/CD/Clip,Paper Shredding Machine for Home Use Heavy Duty with Jam Proof,3.9-Gallon Bin

so far, so good. ive shredded documents from the past 2 years, it was quick. this machine seems to be durable and reliable. ive also shredded multiple expired credit cards. very easy to use, quick plug and start, as quiet as a shredder can get. no jams yet. small and compact, can be stored with relative ease.

Works well; handled removable lid lifts up for contents discard, is slightly heavy but is not secured on exterior(i.e.,clamp/clips). Size is very suitable for home usage.

I have this item for a long time my other one it was to old so have to get this one I like do the job right am very happy with it

Paper Shredder for Home Office, VidaTeco 10-Sheet Cross-Cut Shredder with US Patented Cutter, Also Shreds Card/CD/Clip, Paper Shredder for Home Use Heavy Duty, Durable with Jam Proof, 3.9-gallon Bin(ETL) The shredder comes securely packaged in a brown recyclable cardboard box. Inside the box, the shredder is further. Cushioned by Styrofoam. Unfortunately, and my area Styrofoam is not recyclable. The shredding head is packaged inside of the trash bin portion of the shredder to take up less space. Looking at the top side of the shredder, there is a silver sliding switch that has three positions. Left is auto for automatic shredding, the middle position is off, and the right side position is a reversing function, in case you get something stuck. Stuck. The top of the shredder also has an indicator LED that glows blue when it is plugged into power and will turn red if you have to overheat the shredder. Crossed the middle slightly to one side is the slot for the paper to be shredded. They have a whole bunch of universal symbols. Marked no as in. Do not do this. Don't let kids play with it, don't put your hands in it, don't let your hair into the slot, don't try to shred aerosol devices and don't let your clothing in the slot. They also note on the lid that this is a maximum of 10 sheets. On the lower half of the lid underneath the shredding slot is a location for you to put credit cards to be shredded. The lid also has a customer service email printed right onto the top. That's a very good idea. In case you should ever run into problems. Along one side of the lid near the electric plug is a built-in handle that folds flush so that you can lift it up to easily pull the top from the base. This will make dumping out the trash easier. Looking at the garbage can portion, this looks very much like a small office or bedroom style can with one exception. Exception. Along the middle of one side of the lid, there is a little slot cut with a finger plastic that sticks up to hit a switch inside the lid when it is set on top of the can properly. This is a safety so that it cannot be operated with the lid removed. The front of the can has a small window about 3x4 of clear plastic so you can see how much shreds have built up. That way you can empty the can before it fills up too much. Looking at the instruction manual, everything seems fairly straightforward. The instructions do talk about using it to shred CDs, even though the top of the shredder doesn't say anything about that. There is one unusual notation in the instructions, they tell you not to lubricate the shredder. This is a new one for me, I've never seen a shredder that doesn't need to be lubricated upon occasion, but the manufacturer says this one does not. The instructions also note that this has a duty cycle with 3 minutes on and 40 minutes off. It also notes that this unit is equipped with thermal protection so that if it overheats it'll stop automatically and then resume after it cools down. The instructions also note that this unit is designed to shred up to 10 sheets of standard A4 paper, one credit card at a time or one CD/ DVD at a time, or one junk mail. I'm not certain how they are measuring their junk mail, but I would recommend removing it from the envelope and shredding it piece by piece rather than throwing a fat envelope of junk mail in there at once. The instructions go on to say that this unit will not shred continuous forms, adhesive labels, transparencies, newspaper, cardboard, or laminates. It also will not shred file folders, x-rays or plastic other than the CDs and credit cards noted above. The instructions go on to say that there is a 12-month warranty from date of purchase, and that for warranty they require you to keep a receipt of the purchase and the original packaging.(( I've noticed this with several manufacturers lately, they require you to keep the original packaging. Am I supposed to have a room full of nothing but empty boxes? Receipts? I can understand but packaging seems a bit over the top.) Underneath the lid (the business side) the shredding teeth seem to be sharp and numerous. There's actually a small piece of paper stuck in the teeth where they have tested it in the factory. After using the shredder to do a small pile of home paperwork, she says that she likes the way it shuts off in between pages. She also likes the handle on the top because it makes it easier to lift off the top and empty the waste basket underneath. The window in the side of the wastebasket is smaller than our old one, but it is still big enough to see when the wastebasket is getting full. Even though this is a cross-hatch shredder, some of the little slivers of paper are as long as an inch and a half, and some are as long as 3-in pieces, but most of them are much smaller.

Nice a little big but works great. Not noisy, sharp, great quality, highly recommend.

After twice , it doesn’t work anymore, and contact the customer service no response.

10/17/25 This shredder works well and I am happy with it. I like that the refuse bucket is small enough to dump directly into a larger garbage container without the shreds flying all over the place. Since I do a lot of shredding it would be nice to have longer than three minutes run time and 40 minutes down. The last two shredders of different brands that I had lasted less than a year and a half. I hope this one lasts longer. I will update this comment if that is the case.

Just unpacked this shredder today. I've never owned one before. Basic unit, easy to set up, just set the shredder on top of the wastebasket and plug it in. It's rated for ten sheets and described as heavy duty in the product description but mine struggled with five sheets at once. I only need occasional shredding in a home office, so this unit will probably work for me. If you seriously need to shred ten sheets at a time, I'd say this one is too weak.
