This shredder by Amazon is not Basic. It is exceptional. I love this shredder for a number of reasons. First, it is sturdy, quality built and smartly packaged. Second, it uses a Micro paper Cut (the Best cut) that most shredders do not use. You will usually have to pay much more for a good Micro Cut Shredder. No one could take the shredded papers and reconstruct any documents. That is high security. It is cut almost at the per letter level. Third, It has at least a 6 gallon paper bin which is great. Fourth, it shreds and destroys almost anything. Shreds up to 12-sheets of 20-pound bond paper at a time, including staples and small paper clips. It has a slot to destroy CDs, DVDs, and credit cards (one at a time). For higher security, the paper slot can also be used to destroy credit cards as well. I believe they also make a 18-sheet and 150-sheet shredder at a higher cost. I have had many shredders before, and this is the best so far considering the price. I will buy another Amazon Basics 12-sheet shredder or 18-sheet shredder in the near future. After serving 24-years in the military and 15-years in the Department of Defense, I'm trained to shred almost anything with a hint of private or personal information. Not much paper goes in the garbage unless it is micro-shredded. I highly recommend this shredder, especially considering the very reasonable price.

☑️ The Stuff We Use
Works great so far & expect it to work for a long time
I previously use an Amazon basics smaller shredder (5-6 sheet max) that lasted incredibly long time (~5-6 years) and longer than a previous brand that barely lasted over a year. My needs increased and I wanted to simply put more in and shred both faster & in much smaller shred pieces, so and this met my need price wise. I bought this 12 sheet max for $82.50 on August 9, 2024. This seemed like a better value than the more expensive shredder at 16-18 sheets max. I had a little trouble finding the display panel and power consumption. Please see pics. I’ll also add a 3rd pic showing the small shred size. If Amazon basics didn’t dilute the brand, I expect this one will last 6 to 8 years with me cramming more paper into it! Unfortunately, the switch is actually in the back on this one but at least there is a symbol on top to indicate where to reach back and feel to turn on. I agree with other reviewers that a perfectly fitting bag would be nice to line the catch basket. However, I just stuffed to 30 gallon white trash bag in there and will see how that works long term.
