User questions & answers

Question:	can you use a bag
Answer:	There is an interlock on the shredder that prevents it from operating unless it's sitting on the shredded paper receptacle - usually a switch in a slot on the head that is closed by a tab on the receptacle. If the bag doesn't interfere with that interlock, it should work. A very thin bag, or a bag cut out specifically to not interfere with the interlock, will likely work.
Question:	Is this a medium duty cycle for a small office
Answer:	It would be great for a small office. Just be careful not to put thicker sheets or folded sheets in too often or it will overheat the system and you have to wait 15 - 20 minutes for it to cool down. Stick to one or 2 sheets at a time. If you have a lot of paperwork, you may want to go up a size because the basket fills up pretty quickly. Overall, it is a good little machine.
Question:	What's the warranty on this shredder
Answer:	Great question... I checked the Instruction Manual to find that there is no mention of a warranty... It's a lazy Sunday afternoon (August 17th, 4:34 PM PDT) so I called Amazon Customer Service (1-800-216-1072)... The very nice lady who answered (Marya) tells me that while the warranty information does not appear anywhere on the Amazon website, there is a one-year warranty on ANY AmazonBasic product, including the 6-sheet cross-cut paper shredder (ASIN# B00HFJWKWK)... Good to know... We've had this unit a couple of months and love it... Only challenge is that we generate a whole heckuva lot more shreds than we imagined... Would be great if we could order a basket about three or four times as large...
Question:	Which shredder oil is recommended for this shredder
Answer:	The easiest oil to use are the shredder oil sheets. No mess, no fuss. https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-SP12A-Shredder-Sharpening-Lubricant/dp/B01H7M7BXM/

Cross-Cut Shredder

More secure than a strip-cut shredder, this cross-cut shredder slices diagonally in both directions to destroy paper, credit cards and more.

Easy Start

In Auto (on) mode, shredding begins once the machine detects something to be shredded, and then it stops automatically when shredding is complete.

Reverse Function

The reverse function makes it possible to retrieve un-shredded or partially shredded documents, plus helps prevent paper jams.

Thermal Protection for Safety

The shredder will automatically shut off to protect the motor if it runs beyond its maximum run time or begins to over-heat.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is it 220 voltage too
Answer:	yes, the basket pulls out easily so no lifting of a heavy shredder
Question:	How loud is it
Answer:	Thanks. Some have dedicated card shredders that work well. Will keep looking.
Question:	Does this have an auto-on setting
Answer:	17" tall standard size. Is on wheels and much quieter than my last shredder. Works well!
Question:	What is the overall size of the shredder
Answer:	It does have a different slot for cr. cards & disks. It does not shred them as with paper - it slices diagonally. This falls into the same bin as any shredded paper. To empty the bin can be messy - it is a good idea to put paper down to catch the shredding stuck in the blades. The shredding is good.
Question:	does the basket pull out
Answer:	I actually have no idea. They are extremely thin, and I use them for short runs. On a longer run you will definitely want more padded socks. I assume since they are so thin, that they would dry quickly.
Question:	Will it schred credit cards in the CD/DCD slot
Answer:	3 pairs
Question:	How tall is shredder
Answer:	3 pairs
Question:	Does it have a separate basket for credit cards and disks that it shreds to keep them out of the paper so the paper can be sent to recycling
Answer:	On the buy page open page before you buy check the sizes before you add to the cart

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the run time on this shredder
Answer:	Run time refers to how long a paper shredder will operate continually before overheating and needing a cool-down period.

Question:	Does the shredder have automatic overload protection which shuts the machine off if it runs too long or if paper jams
Answer:	How do you reset the automatic overload protection once the machine stops running. Even the green light does not come on. I plugged directly into socket and have emptied the container.
Question:	is it electric
Answer:	You will need about 4 hamsters and 1/2 cup of seeds and (of course) a wheel. Just make sure to switch hamsters when it starts to slow or when feet turn from pink to rose-colored. No need for electricity!

User questions & answers

Question:	How long will shredder run continuously before it overheats and shuts off
Answer:	About 10-13 minutes
Question:	How small an opening will it fit , I want to put in a 10" square bin? Thanks in advance
Answer:	The smallest opening it will fit is 12-13". I put it over a cardboard box and then put the entire box out for recycling. Or sometimes my recycling bin.
Question:	will it fit a round wastebasket? 12 inches
Answer:	No, does not fit a 12" wastebasket. I tried. I use mine on a larger rectangular wastebasket. I'm very pleased with this product. Have had it a while and use it almost daily to shred mail and such. One word of advice. DO NOT try to shred anything that has that glue found on mailers. That sticky stuff you have to rub off. THAT will jam the machine. ALL shredders, not just this one!
Question:	how large of a can will it fit
Answer:	It fits my wastebasket which is a stretch of 15 inches across the top. That is the maximum it will stretch to.

Question:	The specs say the color is yellow & black, pictures shows as orange & black, what color is it
Answer:	Hello, Our new color is orange and black. Thank you for your question.
Question:	where is it made
Answer:	I do not know where it is made. Now that I have had the chance to use this helmet for several days I would not recommend buying due to the poor quality of the head band. It keeps loosening up and is difficult to reattach the straps that keep it tight. If fact, I took the muffs off and put them on my old helmet.
Question:	Does the wire mesh come off so I could see clearly thru the plastic
Answer:	Hello, The order comes with two, 1 mesh and 1 clear plastic. You can switch off to use either or, the mesh or the plastic visor.
Question:	What type of sweat band does it have and is it replaceable
Answer:	Hi Alex. Actually, it's doesn't come with a sweat band but it does have a thin cushion that absorbs the sweat and it can be removed. The cushion is thin enough that you can wear your own personal sweat band underneath. I hope this information was helpful. Thank you!

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you use a plastic bag inside the bin
Answer:	I don't think so. The reference or help numbers are in countries that are all 120 volts
Question:	Can it shred papers with paperclip & staples still attached
Answer:	Not very loud. You can hold a conversation at normal voice levels. It might wake someone up who is sleeping nearby. In decibels an educated guess is about 80 dba at 1 meter. Just a guess. Bottom line is that it isn't terribly loud.
Question:	Does it have auto shut-off when the bin is full
Answer:	Hi Sarah, Just to clarify, are you asking if this model will automatically start to shred when paper is inserted into the paper feed? If I am understanding correctly, then yes, as long as your machine is not locked, you can have it set to start shredding when it senses paper in the feed. Thank you for your question!

Question:	mine came with a small plastic basket (5-1/2"d x 5-1/2"w) it was broken but I don't know what it is for??? Doesn't show it in the manuel

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this shredder work with a bag inserted
Answer:	The small plastic basket goes inside the big basket and attaches beneath the motor area where you put a cd to shred.
Question:	Can you shred corregated cardboard, single sheet, with this
Answer:	I put 12 sheets in & it shredded them but it just goes slower than if you put in 8 so the answer to you question is yes it will shred 12 sheets.
Question:	How long is cord
Answer:	Well if you are going to shred a pick up truck load of paper it would probably take several days taking into consideration giving the machine time to cool, time to empty the shredder basket, etc. If you are going to shred a ream of paper it would probably take an hour, again giving time for the shredder to cool and time to empty the basket.
Question:	what does the resulting shred look like? We use ours for kindling, so we don't want tiny pieces; we prefer strips, if that makes sense
Answer:	Don't really know. I usually only use for a few minutes at a time. Have never tried for longer than five minutes.

User questions & answers

Question:	will it shred cardboard
Answer:	I have heard it WILL shred cardboard. To answer the dude about why you would want to shred cardboard? You must not have a big yard. We composters are dying for ways to use what comes from delivery nonstop at home! Also, I’ve heard it makes decent packing material. I’m getting one!
Question:	Can anyone tell me the dimensions of the Bonsaii C149-C Shredder
Answer:	21-3/8 tall14-1/4 wide11-1/2 deep
Question:	What is the warranty time period by the manufacturer
Answer:	I purchased C149-D and while the warranty was stated in the Instruction Manual there was no information as to how to return the item or how to contact customer service (instructions state to call Customer Service). Did anyone else have the same experience with the documentation? I thought that was a little odd so I contacted Amazon and was told that the warranty is usually upheld with the manufacturer but if they are unwilling to work with you, Amazon will generally work with you to honor the warranty. I will rely on Amazon's assurance as I want to give this shredder a try.
Question:	Where can I get a replacement bag
Answer:	You can use any trash liner that will fit in the bin. I think we're using 33 gallon size. As a side note, the manual says there are hooks/tabs inside the bin that are there to hold the liner, but we found it easier to drape the liner over the bin itself. It doesn't look as pretty, but it minimizes the shredded paper that ends up on the floor.

User questions & answers

Question:	does this come with slipper clutch pad on my Savage the pad sticks to the gear

Question:	Would i need extra parts to fit this on my redcat aftershock

Answer:	My cord is 5 ft long.
Question:	the slipper clutch pad does not stick to the spur gear
Answer:	It does cut into strips. They are about 1 inch long, plus or minus and a little less than 1/4 inch wide. It is a great shredder. I've had mine about a year and have shredded five or six large bags with no problems.

User questions & answers

Question:	Why the 1 to 2 month shipping time
Answer:	1-2 month shipping time? I went back and looked at the item, it says prime eligible, which is just 2 days!
Question:	What kind of lubricant/sharpening sheets are recommended for this machine? Or is an oil better
Answer:	The manufacturer says ' DO NOT USE OIL". I purchased the NUOVA Shredder Sharpening and Lubricant Sheets, they are simple to use. I use one sheet a month, just run sheet through shredder then run in reverse for ten seconds. I have been doing this since I purchased the shredder and it has reduced the paper dust that builds up on the underside of the shredder head and I don't have the problem of paper sticking to the teeth.
Question:	Can this handle shredding the new credit cards with chips in them? My last shredder is now broken because of the chip cards
Answer:	I honestly do not think chipped credit cards would be an issue at all. I doubt the shredder would ever notice it. The chip is a very thin fragile piece of copper. Try to find the manual online for the shredder you are looking at, if it can handle staples and small paperclips, then a chipped card would be nothing.
Question:	how many sheets of paper can you put in at once
Answer:	Do you want the "official" answer or a practical one? Officially I believe the previous responders are correct by saying 8 sheets. From my experience, I believe that if you were to feed in sheets eight at a time, you would find that the shredder would soon overheat and the circuit breaker would trip off. That requires a somewhat lengthy cool-down period before you can resume shredding operations. (If you only go through a limited number of cycles of 8 sheets each, that would be okay.) In my experience, it generally handles 4 sheets at a time over a prolonged period. This is the case when I am clearing out last years credit card receipts, utility bills, etc. That can add up to a fair amount of paper for shredding. Is this a scientific exact answer? No, but it is what I have done to get good results from my shredder. Have I ever tripped the circuit breaker? Yep. They say experience is the best teacher. While this is somewhat long winded, I hope it gives you a useful answer for what to expect.
