Trying to insert too many pages will jam the document shredder, so a manual reverse mode feature will let you clear the jam. If the document shredder begins overheating, the shredder's thermal overload protection will shut down the device. The Aurora 8 Sheet Crosscut Shredder with Basket is an inexpensive shredder that is small and effective for day-to-day home use. The Aurora 8 Sheet Crosscut Shredder does crosswise and lengthwise cuts that leave only one-fifth inch width strips of paper making it difficult to see information. Your office will be that much safer with the document shredder which also features a 125-sheet capacity waste basket. The AS890C 8 Sheet Light Duty Crosscut Shredder is a low-cost shredder that will do as advertised, but it is not the type that can be run for hours shredding thousands of pages. It has stainless steel blades that can cut cross-cut style paper clips, credit cards, and staples. consumer reviews
