A basic strip cut shredder for home paperwork, junk mail and cards. Strip cut leaves long strips, so sensitive documents are better served by a cross cut machine.

Overview
Not a cross cut machine, this shredder slices paper into long strips and starts and stops by itself when a sheet is fed in. It also takes CDs, credit cards and staples, and a bin collects the waste.
Light home use and a small desk footprint suit it for junk mail and routine paperwork. The listing gives no run time, noise level or security rating, so it is not a choice for heavy or confidential shredding.
Who it's for
A household that wants a simple, small shredder for everyday paper and discarded cards. Users who need cross cut security or long continuous runs should step up.
Pros and cons
- Automatic start and stop
- Shreds CDs and credit cards
- Small and light
- Bin for waste
- Strip cut is the least secure type
- Run time not listed
- Noise level not listed
- Security level not rated
Performance notes
A strip cut blade cuts paper lengthwise into long ribbons, which are easier to piece back together than cross cut particles. The sheet capacity applies to standard paper, and thicker items such as cards go through one at a time. Without a listed duty cycle, long jobs may need pauses.
