3 Stars Aurora AS1040C shreds well, but overheats
I wanted a microshredder for disposing of a lot of personal documents following my mother’s death. The Aurora AS1040C does an excellent job of microshredding. However,I was disappointed to find that it consistently stops working due to overheating after 10 to 15 minutes of continuous use. Once it overheats it takes awhile to cool off to the point where it will work again. By contrast, I own an inexpensive strip cut shredder that works virtually nonstop for hours. The Aurora AS104C also lacks credit card or CD/DVD shredding capability, but I like being able to roll it easily. If you are looking for a relatively inexpensive microshredder that you don’t expect to consistently keep in use for more than 5 or 10 minutes at a time, then you’ll probably be happy with the Aurora AS104C.
5 Stars Best Shredder – Nothing I have found can touch this for the money!
This is a REAL confetti shredder. The pieces are very fine and much smaller than other brands that claim to be confetti shredders. (Compare the shred sizes!)
Anything else I have found with such small shreds has been much more than twice the price. Smaller shreds mean more security and less time between emptying the basket, because the shreds take up less room per page.
Works very quickly and efficiently, and I have not found this to be much louder than other comparable shredders.
I have used 13 gallon bags to catch the shreds in the basket. This makes cleaning out the shreds much easier and neater.
The plastic on the unit base is a little thin and I have had a few small cosmetic cracks, but this has not affected performance so far and the unit has held up well.
A great unit.
3 Stars LOUD!!!!
Works great. Shredding into “Confetti shreds” are much better than the “strip shreds” because you can fit alot more of it into bags. The large receptacle is nice: no need to empty as often. Unfortunately this shredder is SUPER LOUD which is annoying for a small office like mine. That knocks it down from 5 to 3 stars.

5 Stars Ugly but gets the job done!
Hi I purchased this over a year ago locally after purchasing several other ones that really sucked. When purchasing an appliance it is easy to get sucked in by a good looking machine that really does not work so well. I had purchased several shredders from Staples. While they have some good looking shredders I can say from personal experience that they suck. So I just looked for some hardcore stuff that can shred anything and into tiny pieces because one thing I learned from working at a Japanese insurance company is that privacy and confidentiality are very important. I was trained to shred every document that had any personal information of the clients to ensure nobody steals information. So I figured this is a good habit to start doing at home to protect myself from identity theft. This thing really does shred CDs and DVDs one at a time of course. The confetti cut is a great feature since with a regular shredder it just turns the paper into spaghetti strings which can easily be reassembled if somebody really wants your information from the garbage you throw out. This thing is ugly as hell, but it can go for hours and hours non stop shredding, seriously I know because my neighbor borrows it to shred her mountains of mail every couple of months. After several hours you have to give it a little break for a couple of minutes and you can go ahead shred for more hours. I prefer shredding at least once a week. After using it so much finally my neighbor has decided to ask me to order one for her and one for her boyfriend she is going to give him as an xmas gift!
4 Stars Not a small chipper
Works fine, but chips are rectangles about 1/8″ by 3/8″, not tiny squares like I expected. Even 1/8″ by 1/8″ squares would be better than rectangles.
3 Stars Personal
The product works as expected. I have been using it on a backlog of material to be shredded and it keeps up fine.
1 Star broke after 2 months
I’m a big shredder user, and this one broke after 2 months of use. I wouldn’t get it again.

5 Stars Strip Cut Shredders Offer The Best Value
Strip cut shredders work much faster and last longer than confetti shredders. The latter ones are very delicate. On the other hand, strip cut shredders require little maintenance except for a little oil lubrication from time to time. Security is not an issue because shredded papers are not distinguisable from each other.
2 Stars Not best for confidentiality
Strip-cut shredding is not recommended for applications where true confidentiality is desired. A cross-cut shredder, on the other hand, produces large confetti-type paper bits that cannot be puzzle-pieced back together. It would seem to be the better choice. This shredder is heavy-duty, which is a good thing, but strip-cutting does not ensure nearly the degree of confidentiality in your destroyed papers as does cross-cutting, and for that reason yopu might want to avoid this shredder in favor of an equally heavy-duty cross-cutting one.
