Aurora Group was founded in Taiwan in 1965, starting from providing office automation systems (OA), gradually touching office equipment and office furniture, and by 2003, when Aurora International Building settled in Lujiazui, Shanghai, Aurora OA and office furniture had a market share of more than 50% in Taiwan.
Before the completion of the Aurora International Building, Aurora had already set up a factory in Jiading, Shanghai, to produce shredders, plastic machines, attendance clocks and other office equipment. Investing in the mainland market has become an opportunity for Aurora's business reform, and the office furniture division, which once led the performance, has gradually retreated to the second line, and OA, office equipment, and electronic intelligence have caught up and become a new performance growth point for Aurora. Its office equipment has been sold worldwide with 3.5 million units, and its shredders often occupy foreign lists together with bonsai, and have been selected as the shredder of the year recommendation by Techgearlab many times.
The efficiency of the Aurora shredder is not as outstanding as that of Miki, and the battery life is not as durable as that of bonsai, but it has remained above the market average. Products with outstanding performance in a single parameter are easy to lose cost performance, such as AS0312, in addition to the 7-level confidentiality effect, the performance is mediocre, but the price is 4999 yuan, and balanced products are worth recommending. It should be affirmed that in 2017, Aurora launched a new warranty measure, providing a 3-year warranty for the whole machine and a 5-year warranty for the blade under the premise of non-man-made damage, but if the parts are lost, some paid parts still need to be purchased.
Aurora products form a gradient in strict accordance with the price, the household machine AS049 in the early 100 yuan, the crushing speed of 2.2m/min ensures the basic efficiency, and can crush 4 pieces of A4 paper (i.e. 8 A5) folded in half at a time, which is enough for daily broken express orders and receipts, although the battery life does not exceed 5 minutes, it is still very popular with families and individual users.
The thousand-yuan machine is not ambiguous, AS103CD just over 1000 yuan, it has reached the highest speed of 3m/min of Aurora shredders, 5-level secrecy 60-minute battery life, and can shred 10 pieces of paper each time. This performance is not as efficient as Miki, and it is not as thick as the 3P27B with the same positioning of bonsai, but it is very balanced, and it does not lose cost performance like other models, so it is the most recommended Aurora shredder.
Aurora launched its AS150CM in 2018 and announced its foray into the fully automatic shredder market. Its automatic feeding volume is 150 sheets, far more than the 60 sheets of Qixin S801, and the shredding effect of 4mm×12mm is also better than that of S801's 4mm×30mm, but the price of about 1700 yuan is much more expensive.
