Works as expected2008-11-25
Have had this for a few months now and it's been very good. It shreds reasonably quickly, can do some mail without having to open it (though sometimes those stupid credit card offers can come in a rather thick envelope - don't try that without opening it). Easy to empty and the auto mode works well. I haven't hit the thermal cutoff yet. The pieces are fairly small. Probably not the best security out there but seems good enough. Better than a strip shredder for sure. Overall a very good buy in my opinion.
Shredder cuts it2008-11-12
The Aurora AS890C 8-sheet shredder does a fast job and is much quieter than the last one I burned up. It will jam if too many pages are fed in and it was hard to clear the cutters to get started again. Overall a good value if you're careful.
broken right out of the box2008-11-11
The first time I used it, it choked on a regular credit card offer. I reversed it and it still wouldn't move. I managed to pull out the chunks of paper with a needle-nose pliers, and shredded a few more pieces of paper, removing everything from envelopes and shredding no more than two pieces of paper at a time. It got stuck again on the clear plastic window of an envelope. Now it has come to a complete standstill, and when I hit auto or reverse, nothing happens, not even a scary grinding noise. Hope it will be easy to return!
Saved me from my WALL of mail!2008-11-05
I personally love this shredder! It does what it is supposed to do... shreds into small pieces. This is a crosscut shredder, not a confetti. I was moving and needed to get a lot of old mail (boxes worth) shredded before my move date. This little machine more than delivered on its' promise.

Do not overload the slot... 8 sheets is the limit and that is true. I try to keep it under that. It loves to groan along when you stuff too much in there. The shredding mechanism is very sharp and have nicked my fingers a couple of times when removing a jam. Does it jam often? NO... but it does happen. The reverse/unjam feature is a MUST! It does shred credit cards, paper clips and staples as it advertises. Again, it makes a very loud noise but accomplishes the feat. If you just have a normal mail load, you could probably go a month without changing the bin. I find it convenient to just keep on smooshing down the shreds. If you do not, your machine will jam!

Highly recommend the machine; do not know the longevity as of now. Does what it needs to do at a wonderful price.

One caveat... the darn thing tips too easily because the mechanism is on the top. In my home, that is a pain with 3 kids and 2 dogs running around. Shavings everywhere!! It also states in the manual that you should not shred labels or stamps of any kind. I have done it and it is functioning fine.
Aurora Shredder2008-10-25
This shredder is efficient and easily shredds 8 pages at a time. It is a little noisey. I like the window on the side that tells you when it is full.

Driving with a cell phone is a lot less dangerous than driving on prescription drugs
There's a lot of debate today about the safety of using cell phones while driving. Statistics show that those who use cell phones while driving cause a much greater percentage of accidents than those who avoid using their cell phones. And the studies have shown that it's not just the physical coordination required to punch numbers into the cell phone while you're trying to work the vehicle that causes accidents; it's actually the lack of attention resulting from driving and talking on the cell phone at the same time. It seems that when you're distracted, you're more likely to cause accidents. In terms of public safety, it's probably correct to say that banning cell phones would reduce the number of traffic accidents. But I think, more accurately, it depends on the person. Some people are operating on, shall we say, lower power CPUs in their heads to begin with. They might be zoned out on prescription drugs, and when you add a cell phone to the equation, they do become a danger to the ...
Why You Should Use A Mini DV Camcorder
Introduction The mini DV camcorder has many advantages to offer its users. If you enjoy your digital video camera you will also enjoy this. The mini DV camcorder is easier to take with you than the regular sized cameras such as the hi definition camcorder, or the hi-Res camcorder. The size of this camcorder is one of its big advantages. The features this camcorder can offer are also great. Some cameras offer more features than others, so make sure that the camera has the features you want. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Generally when design, performance and technological improvements are made on electronic products there is a reduction in size as well to make them more compact. For example the early day radios were built in large cabinets and required radio vacuum tubes. Eventually, transistor radios were constructed and were more portable. Today, a radio can be as small as a wristwatch. Camcorders have also evolved in tec ...
