Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
The AS1018CD is a great personal shredder for home and office use, you can shred up to 10 sheets of paper at a time into tiny pieces of 4 x 37mm. In addition you can also shred 1 credit card or 1 CD at a time, and don't worry if you accidentally shred a paper clip or staple, this shredder will cope with both. Emptying the 20 litre bin is easy, there is a viewing window to see if it is full and there is a large carry handle so you can easily remove the shredder from the bin.
This shredder also has many safety features including a thermal cut out to prevent the shredder from over heating, a safety cut out that prevents the shredder from operating while the waste bin is removed and status indicators which alert you to a jam or misaligned bin.
The AS1018CD is a great shredder for the home and office that shreds quickly and quietly and is packed with some great features, overall an excellent value for money shredder.
In addition the following information should be considered.
*Paper Capacity – the shredder has a maximum shred capacity of 10 sheets of 75gsm paper, meaning this is how much you can shred in one go. If you increase the weight of the paper this capacity goes down. A paper weight of 80gsm is very common in the UK, the maximum capacity for 80gsm paper would be around 9 sheets, and for 100gsm paper it would be closer to 8 sheets. If you don’t know what type of paper you are shredding you may accidently overload your shredder, if uncertainty exists regards the weight of paper being shredded we suggest feeding in a maximum of 6 -7 sheets.
Safety cut outs – The shredder is fitted with a number of safety measures for your protection; the first is a thermal cut out which stops the unit from overheating. The AS1018CD is capable of 5 mins of constant use at the maximum shredding capacity of 10 sheets of 75 gsm paper before you risk overheating the unit. If this happens the unit will switch off, cool down and then operate again normally after about 30-40mins. You can extend the length of continuous shred time by reducing the number of sheets you shred in one go, most users never trigger the thermal cut out and 20 minutes of continuous shredding is quite possible.
The second safety cut out prevents the shredder from working unless it is safely in place on the waste bin provided, care should be taken when emptying the shredder that the shredder head is located correctly on the waste bin with the viewing window at the front. The shredder will only operate if placed correctly on the waste basket provided.
What can you shred? This is a paper shredder but not all paper products are suitable for shredding, some can even damage your shredder. Below are a list of things which should not be placed into any home paper shredder.
Adhesive labels and self seal envelopes or indeed anything with a sticker on, as the gummed paper can become stuck to the shredder mechanism, decreasing the shredding capacity.
Newspaper and glossy magazine paper due to the low quality of paper which can create excessive paper dust.
Transparencies, fabrics, plastic other than credit cards – again thin plastic and material can become stuck around the shredder blades decreasing the shredding capacity.
Cardboard or card, this is generally too thick and can create excessive paper dust.
You CAN shred paper, envelopes, small paper clips, small staples, credit cards, and CD’s or DVD’s.

Very happy with my new shredder it has been great shredding all my personal stuff & all the junk mail that seems to be increasing by the day.
It performs well, cutting the paper into small pieces, and has a large bin which means I do not have to empty it every 5 minutes. It also has a carrying handle which makes it easy to lift the shredder off the bin when it does need emptying. It also shreds CD's & credit cards but I don't have much use for this.
All in all it looks great, is solidly made & does the job well.

Stay away from cheap ugly shredders that break... Buy this!
Aurora make some other good quality products (especially lighting) which i have had good experience with in the past so that brand confidence and other good reviews is what persuaded me to go for this.
1st of all it looks ok as far as paper shredders go! Very simple operation. Good build quality. Handles a good few sheets (10 max) of paper at a time, i tend to always go for less than stated so as not to stress the motor too much. Credit cards shredded without much hassle. CD's sound like a bit of a strain.
Purchased on 11/26/2009 and so far no problems to date.
