Paper Shredder Suggestions

[BytorJr]

Anybody with any experience with Amazon Basics 150-Sheet Autofeed Micro-Cut Paper Shredder (Level 4) or an Aurora Level 5 10 sheet?

Specifically I need to probably have the auto-feed; but regardless I need something that will shred envelopes too because I shred junk mail as well.

Looking at nothing more than $250.

Thanks!!

edit, I'm also looking at Wolverine and Kensington P-5's . Buy once cry once.

I have an older Fellows shredder that I've used for years, works fine for occasional shredding, but isn't really up for jamming a bunch of stuff fast.

I have one that looks nearly identical to that, except it's an Ativa 12CC01. Picked it up at Office Depot a couple years ago...apparently no longer available, but there is a new model 12CC19.

Edit add: I've put 8 sheets worth of bank statements and such though it at a time, which is heavier weight paper than standard office weight paper. No auto feed, if that's a must have for you.

I'm shredding some of my father's estate stuff and business stuff. I could take it and get it shredded; but that gets expensive and you lose sight of it. Since I cannot go take it to work and the "barrel" due to covid I'm toying with these now:

It needs to be able to do junk mail envelopes with shtuff in. Things like AARP cards, junk like that.

Do you have a fireplace or fire pit?

Haha...No fire pit, and to be honest, I'm scared of the fireplace in this house. Cannot legally burn inside city limits; but...if I had an outdoor party with a portable fire pit...well, it's just a party, right?

I inherited a Staples "Professional Series" 16 sheet shredder 8 years ago. Still working great. Recommended. Don't know price. Feed it a sheet dribbled with shredder oil every couple of weeks or so.

Thank you,
MrSmith

Start a fire in your backyard, throw all the crap on it. Wait a few minutes and call the fire department. They'll come over and put it out for you.
