Insignia 6-Sheet Cross-Cut Shredder (NS-S6CCBK2-C)

I am giving this 5 stars because of how well it works for its price range (purchased on sale about $30). I ran quite a bit of paper through it the first week i had it. I tried to keep the amount at one time to 3-4 sheets because I was feeding it nearly continuously. At times it seemed to be warming up, so I simply waited a couple minutes. I never reached the point that the overheat warning light came on. The reverse switch worked well the one time I jammed it. Now that it has survived my bulk shredding, it should be excellent for the smaller shredding jobs it is designed for. I've had no problems in the first month I've had it.

I recently retired and no longer have access to a work shredder so I read the reviews on this one. After it was delivered, I placed the top on, but accidentally pinched the chord and didn't notice. I turned on the power, but it failed to power up, which is when I found out I pinched the chord. This safety feature does work. I mainly shred personal mail and other documents with personal identifying information. I have found this shredder works as advertised and does not take up a lot of space. The viewing window is a nice feature and there's no worry about bags. Just take the top off and empty the contents, which are securely shredded. I was also able to get it 50 percent less than what Amazon was selling it for, which made it a definite bargain.

I bought this primarily to shred junk mail that was becoming overwhelming, I hated throwing away loan and credit card offers with my name on them in the regular trash. It handles that just fine so usually I'm just doing a few pages at a time, the box says it can do 6, I test 6 pages and it can do it but it shreds noticeably slower So I would get something more powerful if you are wanting to do heavy duty shredding. The unit itself seems to be a high build quality but this is my first shredder I don't have anything to compare it to

Bought this while it was on sale the other day and just recently used it. I spent more than an hour just shredding useless mail/bills that I’ve had lying around that needed shredding. It got hot but not to the point where things over heated. Really great so far, especially to get rid of these pesky mail that I don’t want to throw away without tearing. If you don’t need to constantly use it, it’s a good size that’s good quality and works like it should. Definitely recommend investing in a shredder.

After one month of owning this shredder, it broke and doesn’t shred anything else. I have shredder strictly paper no more than 20 times with this shredder. I didn’t do any heavy shredding from 04/30/2022 (when I purchased it and picked it up from the store) to 05/20/2022 (when it stopped shredding entirely). I shredded at most 3 sheets of paper on two different occasions, the shredder says it can handle 6 sheets. I don’t recommend. I will be looking to purchase a new shredder unfortunately.
