    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.

      Thank you for sharing your feedback on the Insignia 10-Sheet Crosscut Paper/CD Shredder. We're sorry to hear about the issue you experienced with the red light.

      We understand how frustrating it can be when a product doesn't work as expected. The red light typically indicates that the shredder is either jammed, overheated, or the top part is not properly attached to the bottom part. Your feedback is important to us, and we will use it to improve our products.

    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.
