Customers often highlight the compact size and excellent shredding quality of the 6-Sheet Microcut Paper Shredder, praising its ability to create tiny, unrecognizable pieces and its ease of use. However, some users mention the shredder's tendency to overheat after relatively short periods of use, requiring a significant cooling-down time before it can be used again. The convenient handle is also frequently noted as a positive feature.

This is a nice micro cut shredder. It is a lot quieter than the last one we had. We feel that a micro cross cut shredder is a higher level of safety.
The shredder bin is a good size. I put a small plastic garbage bag in the clean, empty bin so there is no clean up after we do our shredding.

This shredder is quieter than my previous one. I'm a senior citizen, so the amount I shred is not a lot and the 2 minute shred time is fine for me. The very small pieces it makes is just what I was looking for. The basket capacity worried me, but it seems to be fine. The microshred doesn't fill it very fast at all. I'm very satisfied and it was a good value.

This shredder is smaller then I thought it would be but I have to say it runs so smoothly and I love the type of shred. If you follow the instructions you should never have a problem. I did not get the lubricating sheets but will purchase them to keep it running smoothly. Very happy.

Says it can take 6 sheets at a time, I've found that 4 is pushing it. When you work it I've had it get hot and it stops. After it cools down it goes back to work. For small jobs it's fine, but when you have a lot to shred at one time it comes up a little short. I like the safety slots on each side, and for home office it's the right size.

This shredder warned that overheating may occur. Not only did it occur after 10 minutes, but took 30 minutes to cool down before shredding could start again. I Didn't use too many sheets of paper and was very disappointed. Spend the extra money and get a better priduct

Great Shredder so far, destroys up to 4 or 5 sheets at a time in tiny bits of confetti. Keep oiled up and should be good for at least a year or 2 I hope? Worth the money, dies have some slowing and serious struggling strain at 5 sheets. Do not over feed more than 5 sheets at a time.

After about 20 pieces of paper the shredder over heats and you have to wait about an hour before you can use it again. Also this products states it can shred 6 papers at once I however would not recommend no more than 2 as it bogs down to an almost complete stop and almost instantly over heats.

Works great and doesn't take up a lot of room. Handle on top makes for easy handling. The micro cut makes for less dumping.

This is worth every penny! It shreds to unrecognizable bits. If you're still using that shred to 'tape back together slivers', ditch it and GET THIS!

Family shredder couldn’t manage junk mail workload

Poorly built machine. Lasted slightly over a year. When machine failed, took it a part to find the gears had come loose and were no longer aligned, thus rendering it useless. In addition, the way the machine is built, paper shredding are able to get into the machine, outside the ballades, getting lubricant on the shreds and creating lumps of paper.
Although the “snow” cross cut is nice, it’s not worth it for a machine that didn’t last 1.5 years of home junk mail use.

It works very well at shredding. Don't try to make hamburger tho. It gets messy.
