Source: amazon.com (verified 2026-06-19) · corroborated by newegg.com. 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.
