What's great about it: ease of use
What's not so great: everything
Longtime Bestbuy customer, 1st review. I bought the 1st one yesterday and it lasted 5 minutes before gear broke. Motor whines but doesn't turn shredders. It claims 10 page capacity and I never went over 5. Exchanged 1st one the next day and the second one broke in 5 minutes as well. I promise you I didn't force it. It is inexpensive (except for gas wasted getting a new one each day) and easy to use but I wouldn't waste the time it takes getting a new one everyday.Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeesh what a waste a time and gas. I will say the Bestbuy customer service folks were wonderful. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PIECE OF JUNK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Good price for a capable shredder.
Only had for a short time so no rating on Reliability. But the Crosscut is great! Makes short strips instead of long strips (more like confetti). As advertized it even shreds credit cards. Now I won't be able to buy anything else in the future (just kidding). It's also great for shredding junk-mail and all those pesky political candidate mailings!
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Very quiet
What's not so great: Does seem to get a little warm if left turned on
I have gone through 3 other shredders that were about same price but died too soon.
So far seems very quiet and does a great job. Pieces are fairly small so would be hard to restore.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Price and quality
What's not so great: Bin is on the small side and shredded and paper seems to gather just in the middle.
We purchased this about two months ago to replace another which had a burned out motor. Our son's family was moving as are we. We used this first to help our daughter-in-law shred all documents she had gathered in the past 5 years or so. Then we started on our documents which had been gathering for the past 3 years. Both tasks completed with ease and the shredder still sounds and performs like new. What more could you ask at this price? Probably will now last us for years to come.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: handle for lifting the motor to empty the bin
What's not so great: noise
I just purchased it so I can not rate the reliability. It seems to run for a while after the sheet is shredded. The motor races before it finally stops. I hope it holds up. I would have rather replaced my old Memorex shredder with another Memorex but they are no longer made.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Number of sheets it can shred at one time.
What's not so great: Feed slot needs to be wider.
Works like a charm. A bit noisy though. Could have a wider feed slot which would help in ease of feeding documents.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Motor seems very strong.
What's not so great: Opening could be wider.
Don't think you'll find a better shredder at this price point.
The only thing I don't like is it's not as wide as a business size envelope.
I've had it about three months with no problems.

I Shopped around a lot for a good shredder at a good price. After finding this one for 39.99 I must say I definitely made the right choice! It shreds everything, and I haven't had it jam once yet. Also it is very easy to empty and even has a clear spot so you can see when its full.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: aren't you just tired of all the BS?
What's not so great: too intrusive web review templates.
it slices. it dices. doesn't do anything else. evidently the first 3 sentences weren't enough for the genius that programmed this web page. Seriously Best Buy, your website is among the worst .com's I've ever visited.

What's great about it: Does what it says it will do.
What's not so great: A little loud.
This falls under the "Get what you pay for" line. More than I've paid in the past, but seems to be well worth the money. A little louder than I'm used too, so if you plan to shred stuff in the middle of the night, I hope you live alone.

What's great about it: Ease of use and durability. Price!
What's not so great: Waste basket can't attach to shredding portion
I got this for my dad during the holiday's because he has been wanting one for a while now. I purchased based on the more than ample amount of reviews which gave this product a 4.3/5.0.
For the price of $62.05 there was nothing that compared and I shopped around in many places. So far we have used it at least 10 times and it seems to work very well. Shreds many different types paper with ease and does not seem to malfunction in any way. It's rated for 13 though most I have put through at one time is 5. I ran through multiple CD's in a row and you though you could hear the motor struggling it did indeed shred them.
To date this is an extremely well valued product and is perfect for intermediate home use.
My biggest and likely only complaint would be that the shredding attachment does not clip to the waste basket itself. So when you go to move it you can't just grab the top or it will separate.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Maybe I can sell it.
What's not so great: HARD TO FEED
Cuts the paper, shreds the paper and cards. HARD TO GET THE PAPER IN THE SHREADER! WAY TO HARD! You have to wiggle it in, force it in work it in. If it is a flimsy receipt, forget it, you need another piece of paper to feed it in.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
