Insignia 10-Sheet Cross-Cut Shredder (NS-S10CCBK-C)

This is by far the best shredder I have ever purchased, It shreds sheets of paper effortlessly. It shreds plastic cards just as effortlessly (I have not had occasion to try a CD, but have no doubt it will chew through them just as easily). I wish I would have had this model 4 years ago when I had a shredding project at home - I had to keep stopping because of overheating on the old shredder). I have not observed overheating issues with this shredder. This shredder will, however, stop if you try to shred too much at a time. I would definitely buy it again if the need arises.

The shredder assisted me with the majority of my shredding needs. It was the second shredder I purchased of the same brand and type. The first shredder’s switch began not responding (I would switch it to “fwd” “rwd” and it would not respond all the time, just sometimes), it eventually stopped working all together. I traded it for another one and after 10 days it began doing the same thing. So I returned it. That was the only issue I unfortunately had. Ms. Tshara allowed me to return it before my 14 day return was up. She was very kind and professional.

I’ve recently purchased this unit and it has exceeded my expectations. I had about 200 sheets of confidential information to put through this shredder. I started with 8 or 10 sheets and found the unit did the shredding but it sounded as if it was straining. Since I had just replaced a unit I’d overworked I cut back to 5 sheets each time and the speed improved considerably and the unit appeared to handle the job easily. I worked non stop at a relaxed pace and the shredder never shut down, overworked. Unit is well priced and seems ideal for home use.
