    The shredder works great. It is easy to use. Much better operation than the last shredder I had.

    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.

    Inexpensive and does the job. I use it at home for shredding personal demographics, note it’s not used in an office setting where there would be heavy usage. So far has not disappointed. Small enough to conceal in small spaces and easy to use!

    Shreds well enough, but the 6-sheet specification really isn't helpful. Shredding more than 3 sheets at a time is, in my experience, more trouble than it's worth.

    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.

    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.
