    I recently replaced my old shredder with this Insignia shredder and I am very pleased with it. It's very quiet , easily shreds multiple copies with staples and just does an overall great job. I made the purchase online and it was quickly ready for pick up. I'm very happy with my purchase.

    A great shredder for the cost! It’s fairly compact and shreds efficiently. It shredded at least 12 sheets of paper in one go.

    Nice cross cut shredder. Fast, relatively quiet. Good for home use. Tends to “over heat” and needs to rest / cool off when constant shredding lots of documents.

    My Best Buy brand Insignia 10 Sheet Microcut shredder is compact and works great! It would be virtually impossible to reconstruct the shredded paper due to it's tiny cut on the sheets! So far, very glad I purchased this model!

    Works pretty well, no issues so far. Just as loud as any other shredder, shreds really small, not a change of anyone seeing anything at all. Does decent job on mail, credit cards, and thicker paper.

    Quality shredder, purchased to replace old shredder that died. I use this in a single-person home office mainly for shredding business documents for my clients. Very quiet, cuts into nice small pieces, good sized bucket that easily can be emptied. Like that it has wheels for ease of moving.

    I have bought many paper shredders. They did not meet the requirements l had expected. The one ill purchased from Best Buy far exceeds expectations. It’s is an excellent paper shredder & it shreds much more than the others l had. It’s a much quieter machine & it does what it is suppose to do l ighly recommend this paper shredder & l would rate it s 10++++. It is an excellent product!!!!

    Cannot say enough about this shredder! Smooth running even under load and quiet compared to my old shredder. Cuts up everything I throw at it into fine confetti size pieces. Highly recommended product from Insignia. I think this has the power to shred more than 10 sheets at a time but would not recommend it. I did however wait for the price drop to $90.00 and was worth the wait.

    This is an impressive shredder, so quiet compared to the previous model I used before it died. This one is whisper quiet and handles every thing that I need. Shreds all the junk mail address labels that seem to endless show up, including those plastic coated cardboard like things. I would recommend this.

    Love this product - I wore out the first one with business use but it lasted 5 years so I am very haooy with the oroduct. As long as you don't get 'stupid' and run it non stop for over an hour this is an aweaome shreader

    Excellent shredder. It is quiet and shreds great. I read reviews about how you can put the entire envelope of junk mail items with no problem and they are right. It works like a charm. Well made, shredder, like the feature of the switch in back to turn on, then shred. Highly recommend.

    Excellent product. Easy to use although the area where the paper to be shredded could be bigger, making it easier to insert the paper. Very quiet, large capacity in the shred bucket, and good for shredding up to 10 sheets at a time, saving time. I feel I made a really good choice in purchasing this shredder. My 100 year old aunt does my shredding and she loves it. I recommend it without hesitation. And so does she!
