    Crosscut shredder works as advertised. Have not experienced any jams yet that required the use of the reverse switch position. Would have liked a manual button to feed narrower paper slips through the shredder.

    The slide switch bar broke off the 1st day of operation. (switch is too stiff.) Other wise works well and seems to be well built and sturdy.

    Heats up quickly and if I put 1 page in 1 by one after the 5th paper it overheats. Recently putting only one paper it started smoke looking like it was going to catch on fire smoking I unplugged it .

    This is not a cross shredder. It shreds straight. I was going to return but no longer had the box and thought it would be more of hassle. The auto shut off is the nice feature on this product. Will not purchase again and will replace soon.

    Efficient and Reliable Shredder - A Solid Four Sta

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I recently purchased a shredder from Best Buy, and I must say, I am quite impressed with its performance! This shredder has been a valuable addition to my home office setup, and it has proven to be efficient and reliable in handling my daily shredding needs. One of the standout features of this shredder is its speed and capacity. It effortlessly shreds through stacks of papers and credit cards without any jams or slowdowns. Furthermore, I appreciate the shredder’s cross-cut functionality, which provides an added layer of security by turning sensitive information into confetti-like pieces. This gives me peace of mind knowing that my confidential documents are properly destroyed and protected from potential identity theft. The shredder’s build quality is also commendable. It feels sturdy and well-constructed, and the compact design doesn’t take up much space in my office. Additionally, the noise level is surprisingly low for a shredder of this power, making it less disruptive when I’m working in the same room. The only reason I’m not giving it a perfect five-star rating is that I’ve noticed it can get slightly warm during prolonged use. While it hasn’t caused any issues so far, I’ll keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn’t affect its long-term durability. Overall, this shredder has been a reliable workhorse, making my document disposal tasks effortless and secure. If you’re in the market for a shredder that strikes the right balance between performance and price, I highly recommend considering this one from Best Buy. Four stars well-deserved!
