    This is a good enough shredder for average home use. Reasonable cost. Not meant for large jobs unless you let it rest after many sheets. For larger document, you may get red light warning of overheating.

    Great product for a first-time user/owner

    So far so good. First time owner and user of such a product and operating the machine was easy to understand. The auto-on feature where the machine functions only when paper is fed into the machine is great since that lessens the chances of it overheating sooner. I have not used the continuous-on "FWD" feature much but that also works. I think it also helps that I don't need to shred a full load of 6 sheets at a time, as shredding just a single sheet of paper is fast. If one would consider this a downside, when I checked the underside of the machine after opening the box (this item was bought brand new), the blades had a couple of strips of shredded paper as well as a shredded piece of plastic on it. I'm not sure if this was due to quality check, or if I was given a used one. However, the whole machine itself as well as the bucket looks new and the whole thing works normally. Bought this when it was discounted at $30 pre-tax and normal price was around $47.

    I purchased this shredder for my home study. I use it to shred any papers or documents I do not want to recycle with my personal information on it. It works great. It cross shreds perfectly and keeps my private information private.

    I have an almost worn out old school shredder that I still use for 20+ page shredding needs. This Insignia is perfect for daily mail and junk mail shredding, nicely sized so it's close to my desk and the crosscut shredding feature saves space in my trash bag.

    I am pleased with this purchase. It easily does the 6 pages as advertised. And the top is much easier to lift than my old one. It has a sturdy handle. It doesn't make a lot of noise during the process. I hope to have this for many years. Thank you Best Buy for making the purchase so easy. I highly recommend this.
