    I purchased this item and began using it. Within the first use it overheated and began making a clicking noise and failing to shred any papers.

    I purchased this shredder for light duty shredding of junk mail. 1st use was a success but the 2nd use was an epic fail. The shredder stopped working and just runs but doesn’t shred. Returning item!

    It's just okay. Motor doesn't sound as if it is heavy-duty. I don't believe it will last more than 1yr. It is small. I had to replace a model bought from Office Depot which lasted more than 5yrs.

    Unfortunately, this is a piece of crap. It worked for several months, then kaput! And I was CAREFUL to not shred max number of sheets (ie. keeping at 1-2 sheets) AND taking frequent breaks BEFORE the unit overheated. So frustrating! I will NEVER buy Insignia items any more. I also purchased an Insignia refrigerator and it too runs poorly.

    Couldn't get it to work consistently. Kept over-heating and shutting off. Trouble-shooting tips didn't work. Took it back and exchanged it for another. Couldn't get it to work consistently either. Now I'm stuck with in-store credit and had to buy a shredder somewhere else.
