I have a 10 year old Insignia 10 sheet shredder very similar to this new model. It has served me well all these years. I have a need of an additional shredder and found the new Insignia™ - 10-Sheet Crosscut Paper/CD Shredder on sale half off at BB, which was the price about 10 years ago. It's a "No-Brainer". The new shredder is a little quieter than the older model and like the older model, will struggle to shred more than 5 pages of 20lb paper. I just ran about 100 plus pages of my 2016 tax, financial, and medical records through this shredder and had no issues, save one. The slot to feed the paper is smaller (opening wise) compared to the older unit. The older unit has a bigger opening and is offset lower on the front side. This allows you to just slide paper from the front to the opening and feeding multiple sheets easier. The new unit's opening is smaller and even on both sides requiring one to feed the paper directly down the opening. Also, if shredding multiple sheets they have to be exactly aligned to fit. This is somewhat awkward and adds to the shredding time. Of course they may have purposely designed it this way as it causes slower feeding (keeping it from overheating) and less over feeding that may jam. During my session the new unit never overheated or jammed. There is one feature I like, it auto reverses after feeding has stopped. This feature will help prevent paper remaining in the teeth. Remember to compress the shredded paper in the bucket periodically, or empty it. If the shredded paper rises high enough it will be pulled back into the teeth and eventually jam, making it a mess to clean up. Keep in mind this shredder is classified as a "light" shredder and intended for Home-Office use. No shredder will last if not maintained or fed the wrong materials through it. This is a paper shredder that will also shred credit cards, CD/DVD's, and staples. I draw the line at paperclips, since they are so easy to remove. From experience, this shredder and many others will not properly shred Amazon style plastic bag labels, other soft plastic shipping envelopes/bags, or paper labels with bubble wrap backing. The material does not cut well as it stretches and will gum up the teeth. It is very hard to try and clean this stuff out. Time will tell if this shredder will last like its older brother. I will post an update should any issues arise. From what I put this shredder through for its fist run, I'm quite pleased with its performance.

This paper shredder is very useful. It helps me destroy documents with sensitive information without tearing the paper apart.

The Insignia 10 sheet cross cut shredder is well worth the price, it's small yet powerful and it definitely gets the job done. I actually like that it doesn't come with casters because they tend to crack and break when the shredder is moved, this one is best left in one location.

It a great purchase. Low noise level. Works faster than the others. I recommended it

This product works perfectly. We use it 2 or 3 times a week. It works exactly as described and my favorite part is how small the unit is since we have limited space on a shelf in our garage.
