    Great product. This is my 1st micro-cut machine and love it. Very quiet when operating. The auto reverse is a plus, this way you don't worry about paper jams. Basket holds a lot and very easy to empty.

    This shedder has doing just what we want- shredding important papers to be discarded. We haven’t tried the limit of 10 sheets yet. It’s about the same noise level as the last shredder we had.

    Does a great job of shredding documents, especially like the cross cut feature. The shredder is Quiet and fast. After four full bins I've had zero problems. We'll get a better picture after using for a few months.

    Great shredder exceeded my expectations on how much I shredded on the first use. I had a box full of old docs, it was super quick besides me sifting through the box for stapled papers.

    Excellent upgrade from our basic shredder we had for years. And makes it much easier because you don’t have to do one sheet at a time would recommend this to anyone.

    It does microcut, but the wheels/smell!

    I bought this on kind of last minute urgent need. Unfortunately from the start it wasn't good - when trying to attach the casters, the wheels for the front of the shredder didn't go in as easily as the ones in the front. I tried to gently use a hammer, and it ended up cracking part of the plastic! That being said, this is going in an office, and isn't going to be moved much, so I don't think it is *that* big of a problem. The bigger problem is that when it is shredding, a fan comes out and there seems to be an off-gassing kind of smell that comes out. The odor is not good. But getting back to the actual *function*, it does shred with the microcut very well. It isn't very loud, does it at a decent speed, and has been able to handle the several years worth of sensitive documents I have been shredding the past few days frequently.

    It does what it’s supposed to do. Shreds papers and credit cards into tiny little squares. Moderately loud. Rumbles the floor if you live on the second floor of an apartment building.

    I work from home and needed a shredder. This is exactly what I needed. Aside form the shredding that has to be done for my work, it does a great job taking care of the financial documents that need to be properly disposed of.

    I was very surprised how excellent this paper shredder performed. I had three bins of paper to shred and the Insignia shredder worked perfectly. One would of believed this shredder was a more larger one because of its power.
