The automatic start/stop function initiates shredding as soon as paper is inserted and stops when finished, enhancing ease of use. This feature is particularly convenient for quickly processing documents, saving time and effort during shredding tasks.
A function that reverses the blades to remove paper jams. Even if paper gets caught during shredding, it can be easily removed without damaging the device. Allows for safe and continuous use.
The reverse rotation function effectively clears paper jams by reversing the blades, preventing damage to the shredder and ensuring continuous operation. This function is simple and easy to use, making it a valuable feature in the event of a paper jam.
A function that automatically stops operation when the motor temperature rises excessively. Prevents damage to the shredder due to continuous use and overheating. Enables safe use for extended periods.
The overheat prevention function automatically shuts down the shredder when the motor gets too hot, protecting it from damage and prolonging its lifespan. This prevents potentially dangerous overheating, ensuring safe and reliable operation for extended periods.
A function that automatically stops operation when the waste box is full. Prevents paper scraps from overflowing and scattering. Reduces the hassle of frequently emptying the waste box.
The automatic stop function halts operation when the waste bin is full, preventing overflow and making waste disposal more manageable. This convenient feature avoids messy situations and ensures that the shredder operates efficiently without the risk of overfilling.
A function that allows shredding of plastic cards such as credit cards. Protects personal information by completely destroying not only paper documents but also credit cards. Useful for disposing of expired cards.
The ability to shred credit cards adds an extra layer of security, ensuring that sensitive plastic cards are completely destroyed and unrecoverable. This is highly valuable for secure disposal, providing peace of mind and safeguarding personal data effectively.
A function that locks the shredder to prevent accidental operation. Prevents children or pets from accidentally operating the shredder and causing injury. Provides peace of mind in homes with children or pets.
This model does not include a safety lock function. While other safety features such as overheat protection ensure safe operation, the absence of a safety lock could be a concern in households with children or pets, as it prevents accidental operation.
SHOPSTAFF Rating Score
This shredder is suitable for home and small office use, offering a good balance of security and convenience with its auto-feed and micro-cut capabilities. The 60-minute run time is adequate for most shredding tasks. However, Aurora's reliability is not as established as some top-tier brands, so long-term durability is a consideration.
