Shreds everything
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this for my home office and as a preventative measure against someone stealing my personal information from old documents that i needed to purge. This particular model also shreds cd's and credit cards and although i was a bit skeptical of it's ability to do that effectively, it does it really well. I've not been disappointed, it shreds everything!! The pieces are very small and the bin makes it easy to dump into a trash bag. I don't worry about someone piecing my information back together, they would be lucky to find anything to match in the small shreds that are left behind. I would definitely recommend it to a friend.

Perfect home shredder!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had a pile of paper to be shredded ! As soon as I got home I put the wheels on my shredded, plugged it in and begin shredding. Non stop for 15 minutes, then picked back up a half an hour later for another 20 minutes. Done. Alec helped me pick this one out, thank you . Feels good having all that safely gone.

Productive replacement for moderate/heavy use
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A week in and I am I'm glad I made this purchase. The heavy duty shredder I have been using for years burned out and I bought this as a replacement. And it is absolutely up to the task. I would recommend this product for sure.

Great Best Buy product!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best Buy does it again. You can't go wrong with an insignia product. This microcut shredder does what it was designed for. It might be a bit expensive but you can't put a price on piece of mind. All paper going in is pretty much destroyed. To add it's never overheated on me. Then again it's used at home not an office. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionHow much time of continuous operation does this machine work?
Asked by Al.
- A:Answer I used it non-stop for at least 20-25 minutes, continual feed as I was shredding stacks of old documents. Once it senses it is getting too hot it will shut-off automatically and a red signal light illuminates to let you know. Once the motor cools down sufficiently you can start reusing. I worked it hard for 3 straight days and have had it for 2 months with regular shredding intervals with no issues whatsoever.
Answered by DaveJ
Q: QuestionWhat to use to clean the shredder? No information on the instructionsCan Performance Oil for shredder be used on Insigna 10 sheet Micro Cut Shredder?
Asked by Lo.
- A:Answer Once a month, drizzle vegetable oil or cooking oil (nothing petroleum based) on a few pieces of paper and feed them through the shredder. This maintenance will keep the shredder working in tip top shape.

Q: QuestionWhy can't you line the receptacle with a well-fitted plastic bag? It would make emptying so easy!
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer There's nothing specifically addressing this issue in my manual, other than not to use a plastic bag. However, to speculate a little, I can think of 3 possible reasons, in order of likelihood: 1. Even with a "well-fitted" plastic bag, there is a great chance that the plastic may get sucked up into the cutting mechanism while operating, causing it to jam, and potentially damaging the unit; 2. The plastic, being in close approximation to the motor/grinding mechanism, may act as insulation, casuing the motor to prematurely overheat when in continuous operation; 3. The plastic might possibly create a static discharge that would effect the function of the unit (although this is less likely an issue for this unit since the product is not digital and, therefore, does not contain a microchip.) You may wish to contact the mfr. directly to get the answer. They can be contacted at: 877-467-289, or www.insigniaproducts.com Hope this helps.

Asked by Jason.

Q: QuestionHOW TO RESET ITI used it once and i hace the red light overload on, and when the red light is on doesnt work, how i rset it
Asked by MIGUEL.
- A:Answer You most likely shredded continuously until it overheated. That causes the red light to come on and the shredder stops until it cools down after about 50 minutes. This is normal. There's no reset. All you can do is wait. I've found that if I shred for let's say 10 minutes or so, take a short break, or do something else for a few minutes, the shredder will cool down enough to go back to shredding. Doing it this way, I've been able to shred for over three hours without overheating.

Q: QuestionI wanted to know what the decibel level is on this shredder. Thank you to all who replied.Unfortunately, since users had widely disparate answers, I asked for a response from an individual from the company that makes the shredder, or from a Staples rep. They never gave an answer, so I finally gave up trying to get one. Last month, I bought a different brand online for which I was able to obtain any info I needed. Sorry, Staples.
Asked by Sharon B..
- A:Answer The decibel rating for this unit is <70 db, from 1 meter in front of the unit, while in use.
