    It is difficult to move the switch - jerky and mostly overshoots- the collection basket is rather small.

    Dont wastr your money. Supposed to shred 6 sheets of paper, ran one heavier bond, one at a time. All i received was ribbon shred not cross cut. Additionally, watch the ‘Best’ Buy return policy. A membership only extends the return policy past 15 days if you pay for the privilege, not the free membership. Doubly disappointed.

    The unit stopped working after less than a total of 4 minutes of use. It was rather loud and the shredded paper was also rather large.

    Broke first day after off and on use for 20 minutes. Stopped working with no indication it overheated — and then would not restart. Worked great before it broke and would be a great value if it continued to operate.

    Just no. It chewed the paper, jammed, and leaked oil which made the whole situation worse. Returned it and the whole return process took over 30 days. Buy a different one - seriously.

      It sounds like you find the stress paper suitable for making paper smaller and easier to dispose of. If you have any other thoughts or need assistance, feel free to share! - Carl | Insignia Products BBY-ExBrand_Insignia

    Terrible. Doesn’t even take three pieces of paper. Doesn’t even go straight down. Keeps overheating. Took me longer to shred than if I used a scissor to cut up the documents
