    This shredder is great. When I unpacked it I was surprised at the weight and number of teeth. It looks like a tiny automobile shredder! It has a handle to pick up the too part, and shreds any paper into little bits about a centimeter long. Works like it should.

    Does the job for my wife to stay busy with all our mail that we have to shred. The only thing i did not like was the on off switch. Its kind of sensitive and delicate to get it on the mode you need. But all in all it shreds very nice and not to noisy.

    Compact handle is essential, making emptying the shredded contents an ease, who knew. Upon constant use in does get tend to cut paper in strips if you’re going to fast with your shredding. This only occurs on the most outer edges, indicating I was attempting to go too fast. I only wish it was quieter than it is. For the price point I can’t really complain, it’s compact, efficient shredding up to six sheets, and under $50 dollars for a crosscut shredder.

      Thank you for your feedback on our compact shredder! We are pleased to hear that you find the handle to be essential for easy emptying of the shredded contents. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the shredder cutting paper into strips if used too quickly, and we appreciate your observation that this mostly occurs on the outer edges. We will certainly look into ways to improve this in future models.

      In regards to noise level, we understand your desire for a quieter shredder and will take this into consideration for future product development. We are glad to hear that you find the shredder to be efficient in shredding up to six sheets for a reasonable price point. Thank you for choosing our product and for taking the time to provide your valuable feedback. We hope to continue meeting your shredding needs in the future.

    This shredder is both lightweight and strong. I have used it for expired credit cards with ease. It's easy to empty and its size actually hides how much it can hold before you need to empty it.

    When my existing shredder stopped working after about 1 year, I found this bargain at Best Buy. I shredded all the pages I had saved up in just a few minutes, a couple of sheets at a time. I did have to wait for one cooling off period. Have also shredded some credit cards successfully. So far, so good!

    The shredder works well. Debated between 6 and 12 sheets and chose the 6 sheet shredder. The size of the shredder was the determining factor. I have limited storage and liked the smaller size.

    I needed a replacement shredder when my 17 year old shredder quit working consistantly. This one fit the bill!! Reasonably priced and had the features I wanted... a crosscutter that took up to 6 sheets/credit cards. I'm happy with the quality too. I always seem to have good luck with the Insignia brand. It's nice to know that I now have a shredder that I can depend on!

    This shredder is perfect for home use. It rarely gets jammed and even when it does, it is very easy to remedy by using the reverse button, then going back to forward or automatic. It is small enough to be out of the way and appears to be very well made.

    Small footprint. Capacity is OK for shredding routine home mail. It is not for shredding a large quantity of reports, papers and the like in a business setting. If it lives half as long as my previous shredder (25 years) I would give it a 5. Do NOT attempt to shred a credit card. Cut them up the old way using scissors.
