    Paper shredder

    This paper shredder is the worst thing I have ever bought. It's supposed to crosscut, shred, and cut up credit cards. But instead it only shred one direction and it constantly has to be cleaned because the paper gets caught in the cutting roller . It struggles to even shred on paper at a time. Worst purchase ever!

    Bought this shredder less than 13 months ago. I only use it occasionally for cancelled checks and credit card statements. Went to use it this month and it doesn’t turn on. Wish it would have stopped working the last time I used it as it was still under warranty then.

      Hi Duval, thank you for your feedback on the Insignia™ 6-Sheet Crosscut Shredder. I'm sorry to hear about the issues you've experienced with it. This is certainly not the experience we want for our customers.

      If you haven't already returned the shredder, here are a few troubleshooting steps you might try:
      1. Check for Paper Jams: Ensure there are no small pieces of paper stuck in the shredder that could be causing it to jam.
      2. Allow Cool Down Time: Shredders often have a maximum run time before they need to cool down. Try allowing the shredder to cool for a few minutes before using it again.
      3. Shredder Maintenance: Sometimes, applying shredder oil can help the blades run more smoothly and prevent jams.

      If these steps don't resolve the issue, we understand your decision to return it. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to improve our products. Emman | Insignia Products BBY-ExBrand_Insignia

    This shredder is a waste of money. It’s supposed to crosscut it cuts strips. It supposed to cut 6 sheets at a time, but bunches up the strips even though I’m feeding the sheets in 1 at a time. Not worth the money I spent on this purchase

    I just received this shredder yesterday and used for the first time today. I didn't exceed the page limit, or shred any credit cards, or anything with staples etc. Stopped working after 10 minutes. The "teeth" stopped turning and won't shred any paper. Returning immediately and will buy a better quality item that will hopefully work!

    I had a lot of pages to shred. You're supposed to only shred at most 6 pages at a time. I shredded at most 4 pages at a time. The sensor doesn't work anymore and the slide button also broke off. This shredder was cheap price wise and quality wise. I broke on the first day.
