Q: Overheating

A: yes there is, but this machine will stop after only about 2 to 3 minutes of shredding....so if you have any kind of volume at all, this is not the machine for you

Q: Does it shred checks without jamming

A: Have had no jams since purchasing. We do not feed 10 sheets at a time, usually 2-4 sheets is most common but have done 6 or 7 at a time. Because of the size of checks, they are fed one at a time, but have fewer and fewer of these as our banks stopped returning checks years ago and have only 1 or 2 pages a month showing the front and back of cashed checks. Credit union has cashed checks on line, so no paper there. It will do wire staples of the type for several sheets of paper, have not done any of the magazine variety. Also have done expired credit cards without any problems..

Q: Does it shred old credit cards and the sample credit cards that always come in the mail?

A: Yes it does. Shreds CD's and credit cards with no problem. Very efficient. I don't open junk mail any longer. It shreds several pages at one time without jamming.

Q: does this shedder work good im looking for a new one mine just broke last week for at home use

A: It works great! Here is my review: I tested this shredder by running a lot of sheets through it when I first got it. It worked perfectly and didn't overheat. I have learned that when a shredder is rated for so many sheets (this one is rated for 6) that if you run through that amount of sheets, it usually sounds like the machine is straining. It is best to use only 1/2 the amount of the rated number of sheets. I tested it with 3 sheets at a time and it did a great job. This shredder is not for heavy duty use but excellent for use when you don't have a large volume of sheets to shred. I have had very good results with Insignia products.

Q: Do I need to lubricate the shredder on a regular basis? Also,can I put gummed labels through the shredder? Do you sell lubricant, or lubricating sheets for the shredder? Thank You Mexicandad.

A: Sticky labels are a problem, I put between couple sheets of paper to disguise the stickyness. Haven't had long enough to use lubrication sheets.

Q: What is the capacity of the basket?

A: There is overheating protection. My experience (all of these immediately after opening the box) (I shred about 1000 plus A-4 sheets in a span of about 8 hrs with 20-30 mts break in between) - Paid 40 bucks incl of tax - About 2 ft high, little more than 1 ft wide, and little less than 1\2 a ft depth. Very light. - Easy to setup, just lift the motor head and place it on the plastic bin and plug into electrical outlet. That simple - On \ Off \Reverse button. Paper feeds automatically if you place it on the shredder. Auto stops on overheating. Green light for ready to go, Red light on overheating. Simple. The buttons are poorly made, so make sure to handle with real care, will definitely break if one is not gentle in handling it every time. - Should be gentle in handling the bin, because its not very sturdy. If bin for some reason goes out of original shape, it may be very difficult to place the motor head properly. This will not be a problem if your load is such that you empty the bin like once in 2-3 days. - The shredder slot is made pretty much exactly for the shorter side of A-4 printer paper. Anything even slightly bigger than that wouldn't fit.. There is nice groove handle to lift the motor head (recognized it after a few runs, it is not that obvious) - Bin takes in approximately 40--45 sheets of shredded paper without offering resistance to the incoming shredded paper. So suggest not to over push the shredded paper quantity in the bin. But I pushed it until 70 sheets when I stress tested it. - Takes 6 - 10 seconds for 1 to 6 sheet shredding. Not much of noise difference for number of sheets shredded at a time. - Noise level is pretty much there. To the point if you are watching TV at normal levels, it will make TV volume inaudible, but definitely way less than a food processor. Can't expect better than that - It pretty much struggles at 6 sheets. I would not use it for more than 3 sheets at a time. I read that all shredders are pretty much the same at any level. Standard recommendation is to use half the capacity of the shredder. So for the sake of longevity of the sharpness of the teeth of shredder, would suggest go with no more than 3 sheets at a time. - When I began for the first 10 runs I could do a minimum of 30 - 40 sheets at a time with about 20 -30 mts break in between. My suggestion, about 30 sheets at at a time with 3 sheets per run with 25-30 mts. break for the next 30 sheets and son on, will keep its longevity good. But after close to 4 hours, it could handle only about 20-25 sheets before overheating. But I wouldn't expect better, for a small baby like this. In one batch for test purpose, I ran 70 sheets @ 3 sheets\run, it devoured it in 2 minutes before over-heating. But I would not push it that far. - Overall I am happy. I bought this for daily mail\receipts shredding at home. I still tested it for continuous run with heavy load (w.r.t home\small business), since I had almost close to 1000-1200 sheets of printed paper with sensitive info. I would happily recommend it even for fairly heavy work. I checked out that it cost $1 per pound of shredding and they don't do it in front of you. You have hand over the docs trusting the company. It's insane to hand over any thing with ssn, dl, financial statements etc for shredding without one's presence. I already got back close to 10 to 12 dollars of my first day of shredding :)

Q: I purchased this product but there was no manual what do i do now

A: Turn on, insert material to be shredded.
