Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the 6-Sheet Crosscut Shredder's impressive shredding capacity and affordable price as significant advantages. Positive feedback also highlights its ease of use and compact size. However, some users mention occasional overheating and a relatively high noise level during operation. While some experience jamming issues, many report reliable performance.

    For the price it works very well, can shred more then just 10 sheets and the basket can hold a lot of trash. Took one star off just for the color...wish it was in a darker color and not grey.

    This is a good beginners shredder. For light shredding of documents. I wouldn't use this if you have a lot of papers to shred because the motor will heat up and stop working until it cools down.

    Does a decent job for small jobs, will burn out easily if you overwork it for too long, which is a pain waiting for it to cool down. Jammed it once with paper overload. Good for small household jobs.

    I got it on the open box sale for a great price! It works wonderfully! I mostly shred my address off mail I receive. But it does handle lots of continuous shredding and doesn't overheat. Love it!

    I have never expected this item to last me a life time but I did expect better. First of all it is not able to shred 6 sheets at a time. It over heats when it does work. It gets jammed and doesn’t shred completely. It’s not worth buying. I have never purchased this brand and I never will again. From what I understand it is a Best Buy brand. It is unreliable and not worth the purchase. If you want some thing that last and actually works stay away. Did I mention that the motor just burnt out. What a horrible smell.

    This is the best shredder at this price. It does after a while of shredding auto shut off because it gets too heated. But that’s only because I was shredding a lot of papers in an hour time. If you use it periodically there’s no issues.

    At this price point, it’s a steal. Helpful lights on top tell you when it overheats and when it’s ready to resume again. But just for regular household shredding it’s more than adequate.

    I had sensitive documents that I didn’t feel comfortable throwing in the trash. Too many “nosey”. I found this paper shredder, and it’s perfect for my home office needs. Very good purchase!

    Unit seemed to do a fine job with a very large pile of papers since my old one gave out. I little noisy, but really, who cares. Now I only need to do a little at a time, and so far, so good!

    The previous one I had, from another store, not Best Buy, was too small. Had to fold all the paper to be sent through the shredder plus it would over heat after just a couple pieces of paper. Love the design I bought from Best Buy. Just perfect!! And you don't have to fold the paper!!

    I've only used it 3 times. If you have a lot to shred, be patient. If you try to shred a lot, the machine will overheat and shut down. You'll have to wait about 5-10 minutes before you can start shredding again.

    This is a good basic shredder for use at home. It cannot take many sheets and has gotten clogged up a few times but it gets the job done for the price paid.

    Ease of feeding paper was great but must adhere to feeding not more than 4-5 sheets at a time to prevent stoppage of machine. Otherwise great for home use.

    Works well for the occasional paper shreds, not a heavy duty one if that is what you are looking for. I like the small window at front that shows when the can is almost full and it’s time to empty. What I like the most is that is not bulky and fits nicely under my desk.

    This is a great shredder. It works like a shredder should. If you shred credit cards make sure they're actually broken apart. I checked and it cut them but the pieces were all still connected.
