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.

    I got this shredder on sale and it works well beyond my expectations for the price. It does what it's supposed to do just fine. One note however, is to remember to oil the blades periodically, about every time the basket is full. This is extremely important to get longevity out of the shredder.

    Handle is a nice feature. A little loud. Down side is slot to place paper is difficult angle; really only takes 5 pages not 10 as advertised.

    The Insignia 10-Sheet Crosscut Shredder is ideal for light shredding duty at home or at the office. Shredding documents is the best way to protect yourself from dumpster divers out to steal your identity. The Insignia shredder is easy to use and grinds up paper, CDs and old credit cards effortlessly.

    Product heats up very often. I often have to unplug the appliance to let it cool off before next use. Good for shredding 3-4 pages with max of 25 in one sitting before it heats up.

    This is a good basic crosscut shedder. I put three sheets at a time and it seems to able to shed with no problem. Best Buy beats its own sale price and I am able to get the additional discount.

    Needed a paper shredder to shred confidential documents and was specifically looking for one that would cross cut. This does the job well, being able to handle several sheets at a time and can also cut through cards.

    Good shredder, only downside is that it does overheat pretty easily and paper gets stuck on the shredder. Overall good if you need to shred a few things

    I have owned this shredder for 3 weeks. It is good for home use. So far so good. Good if it holds up, which is my main concern. Find it struggles with more than 5 pages.

    The shredder works great, the only down side is feeding the paper in it, the opening is small and you have to make sure the paper is lined up properly to get shred.

    This shredder suits my needs to a tee! I just have daily 'junk mail' and things with my name on that I do not want to put in the trash. Have not had a bit of problem with it so far and the little window is very helpful in keeping track of how full the basket is getting.

    Does the job, but not something for heavy shredding. It heats up and you will have to give it a rest. Great for a few sheets here and there, easy to clean.

    If you only need to occasionally shred, this is a great shredder for you. It's light weight, very easy to set up and shreds away. I shred junk mail and random papers, and this is great item to have. Overall, highly recommend.

    It doesn't overheat as easily as other shredders do. I used it for an hour, and the only thing that caused the process to go longer was that I had to keep emptying the bucket into a larger receptacle.

    This shedder is the best one I have ever purchased.The crosscut size actually is smaller in size then most. Almost as small as a micro cut. The head is easily removed with the built in handle when ready to empty the container. Maybe a little bit louder but not enough to bother anyone for a few minutes.

    There is really no challenge to using this great basic shredder. It comes with it's own waste basket and will handle 5-6 regular paper sheets at one time. Unlike some of the older models, it does put the paper into to tiny pieces, and I like that for security.
