Aurora AU120MA 120-Sheet Auto Feed High Security Micro-Cut Paper Shredder / 30 Minutes (Black)

I had 40 years worth of old business documents to destroy. This machine is awesome. I killed my old 8 page Xerox shredder that I had for 20 years. This Aurora is great I like how it will shut down when it overheats. It is a little messy when you empty the bin but overall it is a good choice.

Worth the price! Works great, relatively quiet and cuts documents into tiny pieces. The only issue for me was the top control panel is a bit heavy and emptying the bin is a little cumbersome an awkward. The size is good, does not take up much space and fits well into a home office. The power cord is a bit short, a longer cord would would be a bonus. Be careful when moving/rolling into place, it's a bit top heavy. There is a warning light that alerts you if it's becoming hot and to turn off to cool down before resuming shredding function.

I've been using this shredder for about two months. It works very well and has already saved me about $150 I would otherwise have had to pay a commercial service to shred my documents. Here are some things I've learned to do, to optimize its operation. 1. Empty the bin when it's about 2/3 full. 2. Oil the shredding teeth once a month; performance oil works better than vegetable oil. 3. To avoid jamming, don't insert more than about 10 sheets of paper at a time into the shredding slot. 4. The shredder will take CDs one at a time, but if it jams, open the lid, remove the CD, and try again. I'm not shredding CDs any more than is absolutely necessary, as the machine definitely struggles to pull them through the shredding gears. Shredded paper, CDs, etc. come out in confetti-sized pieces, which is a definite improvement on my previous strip-cut shredder. All in all, I'm very happy with this shredder and would recommend it for purchase.

It's a solid shredder, but when you put paper inside for the larger quantity shredding the rollers tend to grab more than they should and it jams up. Nice and quiet too.

This is awesome. It holds up to 120 sheets of paper and auto feeds itself. It stays cool during operation and it is the perfect size to sit next to your desk or in the corner. It was packaged great and shipped fast and secure. Will buy from the seller again if I find something I need and they offer it.

We run a law firm, and when working from home use this shredder. It’s been durable, and a great value for the money. So far (3 months) everything we have shred has been easy to use. If you work from home this is a great unit. Even gets thru staples!

This arrived today and I used it already. This is hands down the best shredder I have ever owned. I ran it for about 45 minutes putting in no more than 1 to 2 sheets at a time. The shredder never felt warm to the touch during that time. It ran like a champ. My old shredder that this one is replacing could barely run ten minutes using 1 to 2 sheets at a time. And the old shredder would be hot to the touch and have to stay off an hour before I could use it again. The wheels are a plus. The shredder is heavy so be careful when mounting it on the basket. The basket is pretty big. Do yourself a favor and line the basket with a garbage bag for easier clean up after the shredding is done. The only thing that I didn't like about the shredder is the auto feed function. The auto feed feels like a useless gimmick to me. It's not a selling point. I will purchase some shredder oil to make sure this last a long time. Well worth the price. Update: 10/12/25 after very limited use over the last 2 years I go to use this today and it will not even turn on. And by limited use I mean I use this thing once every 5 to 6 months for maybe an hour. How disappointing that it is completely dead already. I have had much cheaper shredders last longer than this. Changing my original 4 star review down to a 1 star review. Aurora Company and Amazon you need to do better.

Love my new shredder. It is so quiet. Previous shredder was significantly louder and not near the workhorse this Aurora AU120MA is. At first I was hesitant to spend the money. I have yrs worth of shredding to shred. It truly has been money well spent. Definitely recommend.

This is a US model and cannot be used in UK. It should not be sold in UK without making that clear. I have returned but have not received a refund yet.

We have been using it for 6 months in an office and it works great. We add papers to the tray through the day and set it to shred at the end of the day. The self feed tray is very useful.

Not suitable for UK. This machine requires US 120 volt 60 Hz power and is not earthed. I can't fond that information on the UK amazon web page. Also company should know not to supply it fpr export to UK. I will try to return it, but expect the cost will exceed any potential refund, in which case it will have to be scrapped.
