Customer Ratings & Reviews

After we filed our tax return, we went through some old business files and decided to shred to protect our security only to find that the shredder we bought only last year wouldn't even shred 3 times in a row without jamming! It was also from Best Buy (the brand is Initt). I love Best Buy though. I don't think it's their fault that the shredder broke. We have been shredding a lot for 4 months straight. I even have the kids helping, so I know this shredder has been through a lot of cramming and overloading with paper!!! It always runs perfectly. We go at it for a long time in one sitting, and it has never overheated or jammed. Of course I love it because it's so stylish and small unlike the others! It's great for small business use!

The appearance of this shredder is certainly appealing but don't be fooled by it. I am not sure if I were unlucky to buy a lemon of this product but it does not deliver what it advertises, except that it is a fast and quite machine - I will give you that with the comment, it is still inefficient. The small bin counteracts the speed of the machine because you need to empty it as soon as one to two sets of six sheets of paper are shredded. Yes, it would shred 6 sheet of paper comfortably but the shreds are just long wide strips that are accommodating size 16 font so the bin fills out quickly. Please don't shred any of your precious documents with personal info or credit cards because three year old child would easily put these shreds together in minutes. The specification states security level 3, I must disagree with that. At least the product I have has no security, at all as if it were missing one more shredding role to make this shredder a cross-cut shredder. Also, the pieces of shreds get stuck at the back of the bin, and behind the power cord which is open in the bottom part of the shredder, and I don't see this safe. This takes more of customer's time to clean up. It could be a better shredder with a greater bin and an extra metal (not plastic) roll to make this shredder secure & efficient. These improvements in design of this shredder by manufacturer would make it still spacious and attractive shredder. I hope the manufacturer is working on an improved design. It seems to be a new brand that I have not seen before so I hope the customer's experience would be helpful for an improvement in design. I have to return this shredder, and replace it with the one that will satisfy efficiency, and security. After all that is why we shred. I don't have the fire place to burn personal documents.

Shreds of paper fall outside of the bin and when removing the bin for emptying there is shredded paper that has collected at the back of unit (outside of the bin) that must be removed manually. Paper remains in jaws of shredder and must be pulled out manually. However price is reasonable and the unit does shred up to 8 folds of paper at one time as well as credit cards.

Great small, space saving shredder, however, the bos depositing the shreded material is too small. Otherwise, it performs very well.

I had the shredder for about two weeks now and it has not jammed at all. It is very easy to use and reliable. It is worth the price. It works extremely well and looks good where ever you put it. Its better than the last shredder that i paid $84 for and it jammed every use with only one sheet of paper. My words to you is buy it and enjoy it.

We had this huge shredder that would jam up all the time, so when I saw this small one I decided to give it a shot. Actually, it's smaller than I thought it would be once I took it out of the box, but so far it can really handle a lot of shredding despite it's compact size. As far as for my use (statements, old records, etc.), the bin isn't really too small. The alternatives are huge shredders, and I didn't see any larger one that looks as cool as this one anyway.

I've never seen a shredder that is more stylish than this one. It works great for use at our house. We wouldn't shred more than 8 sheets, so it's convenient for home use. The best thing is that it is smaller than all other shredders and fits and looks great by our desk. I didn't notice any problem emptying the shredded paper like the previous reviewer. The shredder is smaller than most shredders, so maybe it just has to be emptied more often than one of the huge ones. I'd trade size for the posh look of it.

My family and I previously had a cheap Dynex shredder for years. It eventually quit on us so I thought I would spend a little more money to get a better quality shredder. This thing is a piece of junk. I literally bought it two hours ago and have already had to take it apart twice to get it to work again and no I am not shredding more than 1 piece of paper at a time although it says it can shred up to 8 pieces (which I do not believe). I finally got so frustrated with this thing that I just quit trying. I definitely plan on taking it back and buying the cheaper shredder that I know will work for more than 5 minutes.

Just bought this shredder and it is very nice. Real Quiet, nice design, small but basket is decent size. I think it will be very reliable because I shred paper for 20 min and it didnt slow down once or didnt over heat. I used my gift card and a reward coupon. Great warranty too, it says return to seller for replacement after 30 days.

I've only just bought my shredder but so far absolutely no problems. It's esthetically pleasing and is quiet . It's shreds into very fine pieces. It's so much better than other products in this price range.

Although it's great looking and fits anywhere, the paper bin seems wrongly designed. The light goes on for the full bin, but the shreds actually pile higher than the bin. Consequently paper falls out in the machine and the floor. Further, shreds fall into a small well in the back of the bin space and the mound of shreds prevent the bin from closing fully, which means that the machine won't shred. Once I dug the shreds out, the machine still didn't run.

This is the worst designed shredder. When you remove the collection bin, the paper you shread goes all over the place. The bin is also one of the smallest I've seen. You can only shred a few sheets before it fills up. I wound NOT recommend this shredder.

The shredder is nice and compact the bin has to be emptied a lot more often doesn't hold much, but it's worth the bother because the it cross cuts and the pieces are very small, just what I wanted. The price was great

Bought two months ago at Best Buy. Worked correctly two months. Check that THIRTY DAY warranty! Automatic paper sensor switch is now inoperative. Will shred 24/7. Would not buy another.

nice shredder if it worked i had it 2 days when it stopped working sounds like a gear broke the motor just spins the chopper doesn't so buy at own risk

nice reliable product but only good for personal use not commercial use

This is a very nice item for home usage. Very clean and effective.
