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.

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/

User questions & answers

Question:	Just received. There are two red strips of fabric coming off the unit. The unit is powered on and plugged in, but no lights come on. Is this broke
Answer:	I didn't know until you asked but I grabbed some from a package I just got and it shredded just fine, do I probably wouldn't do it all the time but yes it can.
Question:	Other similiar products have service plans available to purchase Does this one
Answer:	Sounds like perhaps an overload issue. Please contact manufacturer direct for tech support (800) 327-8508
Question:	Does this shredder have an on/off button that must be turned on to use shredder
Answer:	Yes, I did get a paper user's manual. The English section is 11 pages. I bought my shredder December, 2015. Hope this helps.
Question:	Would a "standard" paper grocery bag fit in the bin to collect the shredding, thus avoiding dust from emptying the bin and allowing easy recycling
Answer:	The unit is made in China. I cannot tell what the gears are made of without tearing it apart. The cutting teeth are metal. You will be opening and closing the unit often because as the paper builds up in the shredder it stops working until you either push the paper down or empty the unit. It does shred very well and I have yet had to stop shredding because the unit overheated.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this shredder fit a trash can with an opening of 17 inches
Answer:	I'd say yes it will open to 17 inches.I say that though after mine broke some years ago. It didn't last long at all before the case split and it stopped working after no time at all.Not the best shredder purchase I'd ever made.

Question:	Are people still happy with this shredder? I only need it for credit card/bank statements, you know personal mail, etc. Is it worth it
Answer:	Yes, it is worth the purchase. I just finished shredding credit cards and three trash bags of old papers, it is amazing!
Question:	what are the dimensions
Answer:	without extending just a little under 12" long and at the widest about 5". if you need to extend to fit over a trash can will extend to about 15 1/2"
