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.

    We were taking our documents to a place for shredding now we do it at home. It can also shred card when they are expired.

    Definitely not something you would want for a large office, but for personal use and a person that keeps on top of their shredding this would be great

    I got a lot of bang for my buck on this item. I priced shredders elsewhere and they cost a lot more for about the same product. I don’t have to be careful on how many sheets it will shred it handles quite a bit at one time.

    If you can get it on sale it's the best bang for your buck. Mine was 20$ and I can't be happier. For a home environment or personal use, it does an excellent job.

    I believe this is the first Insignia product I have given an average score. It’s a decent shredder for the price, but it does seem to overheat too quickly. I have to be careful with how much I shred and how many sheets I shred at a time. If you are ok with that, this is for you.

    Excellent shredder, powerful. It will shred > 10 pages at once but you can hear it isn't happy. Great for a home office, for someone that needs to shred a few dozen papers at a time.

    This shredder has been through the ringer...we have shredded a ton of paper and it’s still ticking! I shred absolutely everything because I’m paranoid about security. Everyone needs a shredder and this one is a good one!

    This shredder is perfect for the everyday shredding. We use it to shred old bills and junk mail. Shreds staples and paper clips with ease. Once it over heats it does take a bit of time to cool back down but other then that perfectly happy with this product.

    I went from a bigger place to a smaller place and only need to shred my stuff so after talking to the sales guy at Best Buy I bought this one and it is perfect for me. I tucked it between my desk and my bookcase and this shredder is more quiet than most

    I really was looking for a cheaper pasta maker....unfortunately, the cross cut tears up the dough! So I decided to use it as it was intended! Great paper shredder!!

    It hasn't choked yet on what I've fed it. It's chewed up several sheets of paper as well as those temporary credit cards that everybody receives as enticements. vIt ain't pretty to look at, but who cares? I'd rather it be plain and functional than pretty and useless.

    We saw many other options on the site but we decided to trust the reviews and give this one a try. Insignia's shredder is great for getting rid of anything from receipts to unwanted mail - just what we wanted. We're happy with the purchase!

    I really like this paper shredder. My only problem with it is occasionally the paper is hard to feed. It is fairly quiet, and has taken CD's, Credit Cards and all thicknesses of paper.

    It is a bit difficult to place paper for shredding. Im sure its only a matter of getting used to it. My previous shredder was different but no question this shredder is just the right size and much faster
