Our Review
The Aurora AS1018CD is a quality shredder that is reasonably priced and ideal for the home or small office. It can easily shred up to ten sheets of paper at once and since it is a cross-cutter, it cuts the paper into 4mm x 37mm pieces that are tiny enough to deter even the most stubborn adversary or identity thief. This machine is not only easy to use, but can destroy credit cards and CDs as well; the bin is 20l, which means that you won’t have to empty it after every few sheets, and there is also a convenient carry handle and the top of the shredder easily separates it from the bin.
The Aurora AS1018CD goes through paper and credit cards without much hassle, but even if you happen to process a lot of items in a short period of time, there is a mechanism in place that prevents the machine from overheating; there is also a safety mechanism that turns the shredder off when you try to remove the bin while it is still operating. If the basket is not aligned properly or you manage to jam the machine, you will also be alerted immediately.
