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.

Answer:	It overheats within about 5-7 minutes if you are continuously using it the whole time. It says it can handle 6 sheets. But doing 2-3 at a time seems to help it not overheat as fast. It’s a great machine for casual shredders. If you shred a ton of papers all the time I’d find another one
