Pros
  • Easy to use
  • Compact size
  • Low price
Cons
  • No CDs, staples, or paper clips
  • Light-duty shredding jobs
  • Noisy

The Office Max Diamond Cut 8-Sheet Shredder with Mesh Basket is reviewed as a good value for light-duty paper shredding. The model shreds diamond cut, which cuts paper into strips and then crossways for extra security and the mesh basket holds four gallons of shreds for what reviewers call an easy clean-up. Reviewers like the compact size of the model as well as its easy use and automatic turn-off. Owners do note that the model is loud and unable to shred CDs, staples, or paper clips. In this price class, we found a bit more feedback for the similar but slightly less expensive Staples 8-Sheet Crosscut Shredder (*Est. $40).

Useful reviews for this paper shredder come from Slate.com, where it's tested against five other models and includes full description of how the model performs. User reviews include one video demonstration from ExpoTV and various user reviews from OfficeMax.com.

Laura Moser rates the capacity, design and ease of use of six home paper shredders. The Office Max shredder ranks in the middle. Moser says the shredder is good overall, but it's slow and jams are hard to fix.
