    I like how this shredder accepts 10 sheets to shed at a time. I don't like how this shredder shuts itself off automatically, then I have to toggle the on/off switch a few times to get it to actually start shredding again, after standing idle for a few minutes.

    Using the Insignia-10-sheet Microcut Shredder (Black): Within 10 minutes of moderate shredding of 2-3 sheets at a time, a toxic odor of like burning plastic is apparent and only gets worse. I would not use and took immediately back, and one sales person said he had the same complaint a short while back with same shredder.
