Product Features

  • Cross-cut shredder turns paper into confetti-like pieces measuring 3/16 by 1-9/16 inches (5 by 40 mm); meets security level P-3 standards
  • Shreds up to 12 sheets of 20-pound bond paper at a time; also destroys credit cards (one at a time, through dedicated slot), staples or small paper clips
  • 7 minutes on / 30 minutes off; if shredder runs continuously beyond the max run time, it will automatically shut off to protect the motor from overheating
  • 4-mode power switch (auto, off, reverse, forward); auto start and anti-jam auto reverse to minimize/clear paper jams; LED indicators (power on, overload, overheat, misaligned); 8.7-inch paper-entry width; lift handle; easy-to-empty 4.8-gallon bin
  • Quality tested: as part of Amazon Basics quality inspections, we test every shredder before shipping it, which means you may see some paper shreds from the testing

  • Product dimensions: 9.2 x 13.2 x 15.3 inches (LxWxH)
