User questions & answers

Question:	What warranties come standard with this shredder
Answer:	Factory warranty is 2 years against any manufacturing defects, with a lifetime (from the invoice date) warranty on the cutting heads. The warranty assumes you follow the recommended maintenance schedule with regular oiling of the cutting heads, periodically blowing the dust off the optical sensors, etc. We have two of them in a relatively large (4 veterinarians) veterinary hospital, which get heavy use. Performance so far is perfect.
Question:	Is there a warranty other than on the cutters? For how long
Answer:	The only warranty that I know of is in the user manual. It does warrant more than the cutters. Better that you read the warranty. User manual can be obtained online.
Question:	Can someone tell me the origin of this shredder? made in germany or china? because some says origin in china and some doesnt state at all. thx
Answer:	The electronic circuitry (aka the pcb or eca) is made in China, motors acquired by a German company, sub assemblies then kitted together and built into final assemblies in Germany.
Question:	How tall is this shredder
Answer:	Steven, This shredder is 15" tall. John brown Whitaker 800.243.9226 ext 170

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this the 2085111 unit
Answer:	I'm not sure. What I will say is that this unit is GREAT! I've used a number of shredders and this one beats them all. Being able to put stacks in and have it self feed is great. I had to clean out my family home with 50 years of documents - I stacked the stuff to be shredded and this handled it without a problem. I Lub it regularly to make sure it works.
Question:	The shredder is advertised as having "Made in Germany quality"; that wording seems a little too slippery to me. Where exactly is this shredder made
Answer:	The manual is printed in Germany...and has several different languages...starting with German then English. On the back of the Shredder unit it says: MADE IN GERMANY!I am very pleased with this shredder as it makes quick work of stacks of papers using the feeder or the bulk slot entry. I would recommend it.
Question:	is there a limited run time before overheating, and if so, how long a cool down wait
Answer:	I've never had it shut down due to overheating. I've used mine for 4 years without that happening. It comes with some light oil to periodically oil the blades through the paper feed. I think this helps it stay cool. I use a little after I shred heavily and still have some left. I'm very happy with it.
Question:	Where are your products manufactured
Answer:	Germany

User questions & answers

Question:	Will it shred cardboard
Answer:	This thing is a over priced pos!!! Barely shreds 1 envelope at a time
Question:	How wide are the strips
Answer:	1/4 or maybe 5/6 inch
Question:	How long can is shred at a time before it needs to cool off
Answer:	I never really counted as I shredded, but I think I have gone thru 25 or 30 sheets of 20 and 22lb paper and their envelopes on many occasions without the machine timing out. I suppose you might need to give it a rest sooner if you shred heavier paper or light cardboard like poster board. The shredder is a hard worker that makes great strips of paper that are perfect for starting my woodstove.

User questions & answers

Question:	how do you use this oil? do you put some onto paper and then feed it through the shredder
Answer:	These are definitely the right ones for the Pixma MG5420, however they are not all the tanks it takes which is probably why it says they are not compatible. You also need the the CLI-250 and CLI-251 black tanks. And I always buy the XL (Large) Tanks.
