    This shredder is great. Shreds efficiently, large capacity and shreds into fine pieces. A definite improvement over my last shredder.

    This is the shredder I should’ve bought 3 shredders ago. This thing is a workhorse. No overheating issues AT ALL and I shredded a paper shopping bag full of documents in one sitting with no issues. Micro cut is great for confidential information and the card/disk slot is handy also. I have 0 complaints and wish I would’ve invested in the shredder a long time ago rather than fighting with and wasting money on my old ones.

    Insignia has got this paper (and credit card/CD/DVD's too) Microcut Shredder done well. The black plastic housing and brushed nickel trim looking beautiful in my home office. 10-sheet capacity hasn't bogged down at all and I like the auto-start feature. However, it has an energy saver that deactivates pretty quickly; Just press the top-mounted power button first and it goes into auto-start mode with a handy indicator light. I am sure you will appreciate the quiet operation too.

    This is a great home office shredder. It easily shreds multiple pages in to tiny pieces that nobody can read. Has a large basket which takes a long time to fill up.

    Keep your privacy with this shredder

    This is the most incredible shredder I’ve ever purchased, I love that it micro shreds the paper so that it’s unidentifiable for privacy. It has a slot for shredding CD’s and can shred up to 10 pages of paper at at time with a max runtime of 15 minutes for continuously shredding. you can even keep the staples on the paper so you don’t have to remove them before shreddingI love that it has wheels on the bottom so it’s easy to move around from one space to another. it and a big canister to fill up so you can shred a lot of documents before having to dump it out. It also helps that it has a slot to shred old credit cards. It will indicate if the door is open or if it overloads or overheats. you can go forward or reverse if something gets stuck or jammed. It’s very easy to assemble. I got a great discount on this one being open box. And couldn’t be happier, especially when I need to shred a lot of cop confidential documents with my name and address on it including those obnoxious prescription refill paperwork that has your name and medication with doctors information on them. It’s very easy to use and dry intuitive to set up. assembly time. Takes about 10 to 15 minutes Max. I like that it has a clear window in the front of the box where it shreds so you can see where it’s at and dump it out when it gets to the top of the clear window.

    Great price for a working product. Lights up to warn you before it gets too hot. So far it’s been doing a great job about 10 sheets at a time.

    This shredder worked just like I had hoped. I had three kitchen trash bags full of documents. Took me three sittings to finish shredding. Credit card applications still in envelope that I never opened zipped right through into small pieces. Doctor statements I sent through 3-6 sheets at a time. Caught it on sale at $89. This review came after all my shredding was done and discarded so picture shows small sample of results.

    I replced my previous shredder with this one and it works great! It was also very affordable. It’s sturdy and you can tell the quality is great as well. It can easily manage shredding 10 sheets at once without seeming to work hard and without jamming. The shredded pieces crosscut really small, affording better privacy than I’d expected. I’ve also used it to shred old credit cards and it worked great. It fits comfortably in my office and the design is aesthetic so you barely know it’s there. I’d definitely recommend it to a friend, and I expect to have this one for quite some time.

    This is good shredder, I was able to shred 3 large 8 gallon size bags of accumulated old documents in a couple of hours. I did take breaks in between so it wouldn’t get too hot. I was able to insert some of the letters with the envelope and all. But be careful not to put too many pages together because it will get stuck, but it has a reverse button to clear it out if it does get stuck.I also liked that it has a button to let you know when it’s full “overload” and a button to indicate when it’s too hot “overheat”.

    I really like this Insignia 10-sheet micro-cut shredder. I haven’t maxed out the number of pages it can shred, but have used it every day since buying it and it shreds like a champ and hasn’t jammed up. I highly recommend this micro-cut shredder.

    This is a anazing shredder. Foes not even bobble diwn when 15 sheets givthrough it. I wanted to put it through the test to see what it could handle and it out performed with flying colors. You could even say it shredded them. To the point of aibt no way your ever gonna fit that back together again. Now over 6 months old and used everyday. Not a single problem. Works like the first time every time .

    This is our 3rd shredder purchased for our home office in the last 3-4 years. Based on our first impressions it is by far the best quality and value. It has a strong powerful feel and actually will shred SEVERAL sheets without shutting down -and has all the features we need.

    I love this shreader. I've never owned one before, but this thing is fantastic. This thing turns everything into confetti. Simply amazing. With all the junk mail we get it took less than a week to fill the bin. But absolutely no worries of any documents or personal information being found in that bin. Lol. Only a pulverizer could do better.
