Insignia™ - 10-Sheet Microcut Shredder - Black

This seems to be a very good shredder that shred papers, cd, credit cards, etc into small .1 x .4" rectangles.... Feel safe with this size. The unit operates quietly and smoothly... We shredded many papers with the following approximate results: Bin was full after approx 450 pcs 8.5x11" shredded paper The unit Overheat light did illuminated after approx 1000 pcs and we needed to wait approx 45 minutes before we could continue shredding. It seems like the motor could be a little more powerful but maybe that comes with a more expensive shredder. This shredder should be great for everyday shredding ... but might be undersized for a business office or large volumes. Shredding 200 papers at a time is a breeze with this shredder.

Since I had let my papers back up before buying my shredder I had lots to do.This shredder handled my stacks well,never overheated once. Only saw the overload light once and that's when we tested running more than 10 sheets thru it,simply reversed it and lightened to correct number and away we went.. Noise level is less than my old shredder and normal to me, didn't sound loud to me,, different strokes for different folks,,right? We are very happy with this shredder thus far and feel it will suit our everyday needs, such as junk mail,etc. Hope it hold up a long time cause we love it...

I had read other feedback here before I decided to go for this model, and I was concerned at first when I saw customer complaint it would not shred 10 pages, but reading the manual, where it clearly states that the number of pages depends on the thickness of the paper. 10 pages at 75g/qm, which means we all use thicker paper, usually 88 or 92/qm. Answers all questions, correct? I love this machine, the wheels work well, even on carpet, the containers is easy to empty, it shreds all my papers correctly in extremely small pieces, it does not overheat easily as some here say, I scanned a big pile of papers, something like 500 pages in a few minutes with no problems at all. Perfect for me!

I have been using this shredder several times a day for the past 2 months. It has not jammed or failed in any manner even when I push it beyond its specs.

All though the directions say that you can shred up to 12 pages at a time, the shredded continued to jam and finally died. The gears are actually plastic and not designed to do the amount of shredding described in the directions. The product only lasted 6 months before it died. I only use it to shred my daily mail, so I expected it to last much longer.

I got it for the height I am so tried of bending down to shred paper in the old ones. I saw this and height was just right it was pricey for a home shredder but might be worth it.

You get a lot of bang for the buck with this shredder! Works better than anticipated. Most shredder brands fall short on their claim regarding how many papers can be shredded at one time, or the real amount of continuous runtime. This shredder worked exactly as claimed, in all aspects. It's also runs more quietly than other competitor brands. The best part is its many features (shreds paper, credit cards, CD's,and staples); it's virtually an all-in-one shredder!!! I consider it a very high quality product, on the top-end of the medium-use capacity shredders. If you don't abuse its functions, and follow the usage recommendations, you should easily get many years of satisfied use from it. The only two issues I have with it (and this is actually based on personal preference), is that 1. the unit doesn't allow use of insert bags to catch the shredded paper, and 2. the microcut shred produces more paper dust than compared to the crosscut design. As a result, these two conditions make it messy and inconvenient when emptying the reservoir. So if microcut is not a necessity, I would go for the crosscut., like I am going to do. Happy shredding! :D

this shredder works great for a home office paper feeding works great but only a few sheets at a time
