    tI did not like this shredder and returned it. I hated that you had to remove the top in order to empty the bin, what a pain. If you want a shredder that has a pull out bin then it's worth paying the extra money. That is what I did. This one was unfortunately returned.

    The unit broke just 3 weeks after purchase, so I had to go through Insignia to try to get it serviced under the manufacturer's warranty. Problem is, I purchased it as a gift for my elderly mother who lives in another city, so now she has to go take care of it herself after having had only 3 weeks of use of the unit. I have had paper shredders that stop functioning before, just none that have stopped working within weeks after purchase.

    Reviews were good, not the cheapest medium sized shredder but gave it a try. Had to return it. Made a giant mess, ground so fine that it was like dust everywhere when emptying. Got hot but overheat light never came on. Same for jam light, was jammed and I thought it was dead. This is all on the first day using it!

    I purchased the Insignia shredder and found that the button for continuous forward shredding did not work. Best Buy was terrific and took it back, sent me a second one that had the same problem, so I returned the second one and bought a Fellowes shredder which works great.

    When we returned from a weekend trip, one of the two we purchased remained on (Set to AUTO) after a few seconds power loss earlier in the day. Was VERY HOT, as you can imagine running all day. Overheat shut off obviously did not work. We have contacted the manufacturer for warranty replacement or refund.

    I had to return the shredder. Supposedly it shredded 10 pages at a time; I only fed 5 or 6 thru and after a short time it jammed and nothing I could do cleared it. Disappointed in it.
