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.

    The shredder work great. It did stop one one point to cool down. We had a lot of papers to shred. But within a couple minutes it was good to go. I would recommend it.

    Louder than previous one but I bought it for its low cost and ability to grind up paper and it does that. Serves its purpose. Decent value.

    There seems to be a little lag time from when the paper is inserted and it starts cutting. I guess that’s ok. It shreds fine.

    For the price it was worth it! It does need down time to cool down and cannot be used for 20-30 minutes straight or it will overheat which is a downside but the instructions does tell you that.

    If you don’t have a ton of papers to shred, then this is the shredder for you. I was pleased in its ability to run for a long time without overheating.

    I have found this shredder to work as advertised. I Would recommend avoiding shredding envelopes. The adhesive makes paper stick to the rollers. Running wax paper through the unit seems to ease the problem.

    This shedder does a good job of what it was designed to do. Light work. It was not designed to shred hours of material. A few sheets at a time for the average person, home , maybe once a day? Run in reverse once in a while to clear paper clumps. Works good for me.

    I got it on the open box sale for a great price! It works wonderfully! I mostly shred my address off mail I receive. But it does handle lots of continuous shredding and doesn't overheat. Love it!

    This is a very good shredder for your money. It’s powerful and will shred up to 10 pieces at one time. The container holds a lot of shredded paper. And it’s a crisscross rather than straight line shredding which is an added value. I would recommend this product

    I like the fact that it will shred the paper in tiny pieces. You can also shred credit cards as well. It have the reverse feature as well. It’s not too loud when you shred things.

    My roommate and I shopped around a fair amount to find a shredder that can do everything this one can, and we were delighted to find that Best Buy had this shredder for such a low price. The title says 6-sheet, but it can handle more like 8, maybe 10. The auto mode works great, and the one time I've had to back up (because I screwed up, not because the shredder couldn't handle what I threw at it), the reverse worked fine. It shreds credit cards and stapled sheets with no problems. All in all, this is a great purchase for a home office-type setup.

    Great for simple home use from time to time. This would not be ideal for a office use where you are shredding a lot of documents with lots of employees. I would only recommend it for personal home use. Great shredder!

    I've never owned an Insignia product before, but this shredder performs as I would expect it to and has been able to handle credit cards and even old cds that I needed to shred. Would purchase the Insignia brand again.

    The cross cut design, the heavy duty feel of the unit and it's ability to handle a variety of material makes this a great purchase. It's basically eaten whatever I've given it based on specs. I've put a lot through it and had no jams or issues. The price was excellent too.
