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.

    Shreds fast. Good item for home, but fills up quick! Do NOT put too many sheets in. You will regret it. Shreds CDs and old credit cards! Love having it though and worth the investment.

    This shredder does what it's supposed to. It shreds. Nothing fancy. The opening for feeding the paper is a little narrow, but that's minor. It's quick and not as noisy as the shredder it replaced.

    Good for smaller spaces. Easy to overheat if used for to long consecutively, but the auto shutoff works very well. It will start back up once it cools off. Very good for small offices or college dorms.

    Decent shredder for limited use

    This paper shredder is as good as any other in its class, not for constant daily use, but for the occasional shred job it does fine, for more use you will be better served with a bigger stronger shredder than this is. But it works well for my needs, also try not to shred staples on a constant basis, as it does seem to mangle the cutter heads.

    I had ALOT of old documents to shred, and this really did the job. I thought it might give out I had so many. Didn't do too well with old cd's, but it could have just been me. The reverse feature works well when your done to help clean it. Also if something gets stuck. Overall this was a great purchase

    Works great for home office. One small critique would be the feeder as a little lip on which paper will get hung up on. Not a huge issue, just takes a little maneuvering and it shreds great.

    A bit noisy & overheats a bit quickly but regardless does the job. As long as its more for personal/here & there use then office use.

    The Insignia shredder is able to handle up to 10 sheets up paper at a time. It even shreds CDs! It’s easy to feed junk mail into the shredder to protect names abs addresses from identity thieves.

    It work pretty well, you can put extremely thick sheets of paper through because it's only meant for 10 sheets but doesn't jam too often unless it's full. Only problem is I think it overheats too quickly.

    The only thing I don't like is the extra LED light that's on all the time if your like me you want to walk up and shred stuff so you leave it on all the time. It's strong yet quite, I'm not sure how much it cost to have another LED running all the time but if it burns out, oh well

    It shreds pretty well. Make sure to feed it slow and not to over stuff it or it can get stuck. First use I had to stop using it and took 15 mins to clean it since it wrapped around the metal pieces. No issues since the mistake.

    It gets the job done. It's perfect for personal use. However; it overheats after the bin is filled up the 1st time and you have to wait 30 min before you can use it again. (Just don't pile documents up and you'll be good to go)

    I opened this shredder as an open-box item with some discount. The original package/box (the shredder arrived in) was a bit damaged but I didn't mind it knowing it wasn't brand new. I took it out of the box and tried to use it (to test working condition). I worked pretty well. The only thing I noticed later (after I shredded a lot of paper and was ready to empty the basket) - the bottom of the basket was cracked but it doesn't affect the functionality so I decided to keep it. Overall, a good purchase and a great value considering the discount and item condition. I'm glad I decided to save some money on an open-box item.

    Does the task that it's meant to do. However after only shredding a couple of items, its starts to get really hot. I still use it, but it's a little concerning.
