Source: amazon.com (read 2026-06-19) STALE · 2026-06-19 · corroborated by newegg.com (read 2026-06-19). SOURCE CORRECTED: draft cited B07VPQHZHC, which is the older Amazon Basics 12-sheet variant with a 1.8-gal bin and 8-min/45-min cycle — its specs do NOT match the listed 5-gal/9-min values. The current 'New Model' (B0C6LZG69W) matches: 12-sheet cross-cut, P-3 (5x30 mm / 0.2x1.2 in particles), 5-gal bin, 9-min run / 30-min cool-down, shreds credit cards/staples/small clips, auto-reverse anti-jam. Newegg (C262-C) corroborates the 5-gal/P-3 New Model. Price is a deal/street figure (~$32.62 Slickdeals, ~$45 full retail); kept as ~$33. The corroborating page this record cited (https://www.newegg.com/amazon-basics-c262-c-us-cross-cut/p/2UX-02ZV-00057) is gone: on 2026-09-11 it returned 404, both from a residential connection and from a datacenter on another continent — so the page is gone rather than withheld from one asker. This record therefore no longer claims an independent second witness for its figures. The page the figures were read from, amazon.com, still answers.
