Can anyone recommend a good home shredder preferably under 100 bucks?

I have tons of papers to shred. Ideally, I would want the price to be lower than 50 bucks, but as I've been researching, I've been beginning to see that might not be possible. What are some of your favorite brands and models?

I've bought two small shredders for my office. I can't recommend a brand, but I have two pieces of advice:

First, never feed in more pages that the maximum recommended and maybe go less to be cautious. If it jams, you will spend 10X the time you save unjamming it.

Second, check into how easy it is to clean and check online reviews. I got a crosscut shredder which does a great job of shredding paper into tiny little pieces. The problem is that when I go to empty the bin, there are dozens of little pieces hanging from the shredding blades that scatter when I remove the bin, leaving me with an annoying mess to vacuum up.

@PowerofStories Thank you so much I had one I got from my mom that lasted a long time, but that one finally died on me. The little pieces of paper is annoying though! I used to have to take the entire top off to empty it.

I have a Fellowes, have had it about 10 years, still does a fantastic job. 10 years ago the price was about $35.00, but have no idea what one would cost now. Try Walmart, Target or Amazon.

I got one at a thrift store for 7$

Maybe try online on ebay or amazon?? (Cause most thrift stores are closed because of the virus bs)

When I had a ton to get rid of I burned em to spare my shredder.

@SooperSarah I’ve done the same before.

@SooperSarah LOL Burning isn't such a bad idea! I just don't have a place to burn. 😁

My Embassy shredder has been working fine for years. Cost way under $100.
