Customer Ratings & Reviews

I got this on sale and it has been great. Perfect medium size. It can shred enough for home use. It has not overheated at all while I have used it. I would recommend this if you need a shredder for home documents or smaller shredding batches.

Super easy to get started using. just plug it in and attach the lid to the canister. Has multiple shredding settings including forward and reverse so nothing gets stuck, much more convenient than ripping up for disposing of already read mail, junk mail, old paperwork etc. Not too big so it doesn't take up a lot of room in my home. Got a good price for it on sale. I would recommend everyone have a paper shredder like this!

It performs its function admirably. I appreciate its cross-cut shredding mechanism, a significant improvement over the older straight-cut models. The price is reasonable. It operates very quietly. Its compact size allows for placement under a table, in a cabinet, or on a tabletop, among other locations. I highly recommend this product. I am a very satisfied customer.

This shredder was purchased for $21.64 including tax. It was on sale for $29.99 and I used a $10 Best Buy reward certificate. I had to give this shredder 5 stars considering the cost of machine and the workload it has endured since its purchase. I have had documents dated all the way back to the year 2013 that I refused to just throw away because of the sensitive information contained on the documents. I've be filing them away with the thoughts of buying a shredder and facing up to the task of securely shredding the documents to protect my and my family's critical information. I saw this deal and figured that a crosscutting shredder would meet my minimum qualifications, even though I wanted a micro cut shredder. Boy oh boy did it do a good job! I and my three sons worked on this project. We took turns shredding documents that I vetted and set aside. We filled several trash bags over a 13 day period. I'm glad the task is over and I will NEVER let it pile up like that again! The shredder was great! It never over heated or stopped working. I will say that it worked best when limited to a maximum of three sheets of paper. Also, it was best to dump it when the basket was half full instead of 2/3 full. It does not come with shredder oil. Shredder oil is a MUST. I purchased some and used it when the motor seemed to slow down and sound less energetic. We shredded 8-10 years of documents using this shredder. I never thought it would make it but it did! I said to myself that I would get as much done as I could before it died. It has survived and still stand strong. I would buy it again. I hope this review has help. Good luck and God bless.

This shredder works great, and not too noisy. It's smaller than our last one which works out great because it can fir right under my desk.

Great compact shredder. Shredded my documents and expired credit card perfectly for home use. Don't try to shred more than 6 pages because it will ripple and possible jam. It does state 6 pages. Perfect for the price and home use.

A portable no-nonsense paper and credit card shredder (only 6-sheet capacity) that does the job if you need to protect your sensitive information. It's perfect for my small personal business and very quiet. Overall, the price and size was just right.

Good Shredder size for an Apartment or other limited space. Shreds paper well. Easy to plug into outlet. Seems to accept up to 6 sheets of paper for proper shredding I use the Shredder more then anticipated

I bought one for my mom then I had to get one for myself cause it’s a great shredder. Now we are both satisfied with the product. It shred’s quick, easy and it’s a great for home, doesn’t take up much space.

I am pleased with the Insignia shredder. It''s compact. Doesn’t take up a lot of space. It shreds shreds several pages at a time and it doesn't overheat quickly. The price is good.

The machine is quite and simply to operate. The size is compact. It doesn't need to much space to storage. Overall experience is quick and easy.

I did lots of shredding. It took the papers quite well. Machine was not overly noisy. One thing, it overheated sooner than I thought it would. Overall I was happy with the shredder.

Only had this product for about a month but so far very happy with my purchase. The price was very reasonable. Shredding my papers very nicely. Easy to unload waste product. Think I made a good decision.

Works great. Shreds fine.Fits in tight spaces. Motor just a little loud.

Good value for money. Relatively small, but for a non-office setting this should handle all your needs, particularly if you're only shredding things once in a while. Only thing of concern is that the shredder unit is built to match the included trash can, so if the trash can breaks (which plastic ones tend to do) it'll be a bigger hassle to get it fixed or find a suitable replacement.

Small, quiet, works well for shredding your personal or clients' iD-sensitive papers.

Good quality and perfect size. Very efficient and easy to use.

"I am extremely satisfied with the Insignia™ 6-Sheet Crosscut Shredder! This sleek and efficient device has proven to be a valuable addition to my home office. Its crosscut shredding capability provides an extra layer of security for sensitive documents. The 6-sheet capacity is perfect for my daily needs, and the black design adds a modern touch to my workspace. I appreciate the ease of use and the relatively quiet operation. Overall, the Insignia™ 6-Sheet Crosscut Shredder delivers on performance and reliability. A great investment for anyone looking for a reliable shredder for personal or small office use!"

Excellent small, affordable, and high-quality crosscut shredder. It does a fine job if you don't load it up with more than 6-sheets.

Great shredder for average home use. If you dont have the patience to shred 4-7 sheets at one time, I suggest to get something more powerful. This does the job needed - shreds mail and cards as advertised. The 5-stars would be given if the shredder had more capacity, of course. Better choice than a premium cost at a wholesale club for soemthing similar.
