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.

    It fits nicely under my desk, and does its job as far as the shredding goes. It's just a bit loud and overheats if you do more than 15 pages!

    paper shredder worked well for personal paper shredding, probably not good for business use due to the small sheet allowance and overheating after awhile

    Works great! Bought this to replace a 10 year old unit and it’s been a tank so far. Less paper jams than I’ve experience with other brands. Take a stack a paper down in no time. It could be a little quieter but works hard and fast.

    The shredder has worked flawlessly for all of the documents and credit cards that we have fed it. It is compact and able to remain out of the way when not in use.

    This little shredder is great if you have just a few things to shred. It works for about 5 minutes before overheating. You then have to wait at least an hour for it to be ready to shred again. I was able to shred about two large garbage bags worth of papers before it totally died. Also, it is not what I would think of as a crosscut as there is no cross cutting. It fit my purposes and is what I expected based on other reviews.

    I like the shredder a lot. My only concern is that the shredder has some left over paper in it like best buy sold me a used shredder as a new one. There has not been any actual issues with the performance of the shredder.

    This shredder suits me good. It has been a big help to me with the work I do. Sometimes I let paper accumulate, but now I can shreed it and don't have a lot of paper taking up space in the trash.

    Small enough to fit under a desk and shreds more than just paper. You can shred junk mail in one sitting that can shred credit cards. A major plus is that it doesn't overheat even if the bin has already been filled.

    Very good for light shredding. If you have reams to shred get a larger unit. I only have a single sheet occasionally with SS # or other personal data that I need to shred. This a great for the smalll job.

    My mom had been looking for a small, quiet, shredder. This popped up as the deal of the day and we jumped on it. It turned out she had looked at it thought it was too expensive so it went on sale, I bought it for her and she LOVES it! Best purchase for a surprise gift for my mom!!

    This in house shredder is just what my demands called for. It by accident that I saw this item, while I was shopping for something else. I purchased the shedder and not what I went there for. It's been exactly what I needed to take care of items that I would not just throw away.

    I've only had it for a month, but so far, I think it was worth the money. I've shredded old charge cards, as well as stacks of paper and it's great!

    This shredder is fast and I didn't spend all night shredding paper. I was doing some cleaning and had years of old paperwork. Ended up with multiple garbage bags full of shredded paper. I still had to take breaks every now and then when it got a little hot but works great and very fast

    You can insert up to 10 pages and shred them very quickly if you can get the hang of how to insert them. There is kind of a guard at the top so it takes some getting used to.

    When our old shredder died we looked several places for a new one that would fit in the space we have for it. The one that worked best was the Insignia. We have been able to use it to shreed old tax information and anything that needs shredding for our protection. All in all it's has done a great job.
