The Aurora 8 Sheet Crosscut Shredder Is An Affordable Way To Shred Your Confidential Documents

By John A. Cray


We now live in a time where it is a good idea to shred documents rather than just discarding them. There are many types of shredders with different sizes and price ranges. If you are not using the shredder for a business, then you do not need some expensive, large machine, to do the things you need at home. The Aurora 8 Sheet Crosscut Shredder is able to shred at a rate of eight pages a minute into confetti. The stainless steel blades of this shredder can shred through credit cards, staples, paper clips and folded paper.

The blades are able to cut one-fifth wide strips of paper in a cross down pattern to maximize security. Your home office will be that much safer with the shredder which also has a 125-sheet capacity waste basket. The AS890C 8 Sheet Light Duty Crosscut Shredder is another low-cost shredder but it doesn't have the capability of shredding thousands of pages for several hours. It can also cut paper clips, staples and credit cards in a cross-cut confetti fashion.

It can shred 8.36 pages of paper per minute and it all goes into a 125-sheet wastebasket. You can also reverse the shredder in case paper gets stuck while shredding. The shredder can handle a maximum of eight sheets of paper in one shred. The crosscut technology raises the security protection irrespective of what you are getting rid of -- junk mail, personal information, or financial statements. All you do is put the paper into an 8.7-inch slot and watch it get shredded. The documents can even be cut when they are folded in half and have staples in them.

The document shredder is merely 12 inches x 7 inches x 16 inches so it won't take up a lot of space in your home. The shredder comes with a long 59 inch cord so you don't need to place it right next to an electric outlet. The wastebasket itself comes with a light to tell you if the wastebasket has to be emptied. The document shredder features an auto-on mode so that it will shred right away when you insert a document and turn off when not in use.

If you put in more than 8 paages at a time, the shredder may jam, so the manual reverse option enables you to clear the pages. To prevent the documet shredder from overheating, there is also a thermal overload protection. The Aurora 8 Sheet Crosscut Shredder is an affordable shredder that is small and effective for day-to-day home use.
