Questions & Answers

What happens to my ex-wife's pictures when I shred them?

It is possible that we can contact Bezos' ex-wife It is safe to say she cut off his last name shortly after she cut off his picture of him. I am sure she cut him out of the pictures.

This is a micro cut, right?

My pieces are small enough to qualify as microcuts, but I'm not sure what microcut means.

Is it possible to remove the paper basket in order to empty it, or will all the paper have to be shredded?

Answers to the existing questions appear to be for the older 6-inch format An example is shown in the following table. There are currently 12 AmazonBasics 12-packs available Printed on sheets of microfiche This shredder, B07PGMMNC6, has good pull-out, but it takes a little effort The shredder we purchased had a typical waste basket, typical of shredders that are 140 or more dollars. The microprocessor is just a side note There are roughly 5/32" squares in each cut piece.

Can you tell me how loud it is?

There is no difference in the level of noise between it and other shredders. There is nothing more or less to add.

I strongly advise you not to buy it
3/5

PLEASE READ Malfunction that could cause serious harm. Jan-2018 was the date when I bought this. I was relieved it didn't catch on fire when I encountered a malfunction in August of the same year. * What Upon arriving home one evening, I could not figure out what appeared to be a "motor" noise. My cats were so scared by the sound of that noise they were hiding under my bed and spending the whole day without food or water, which surprised me. doing a quick search, I found out that the shredder had been running for the entire day, even with the switch set to "auto. " Because it had been a few days since I used it, it did not make sense why that was happening. Suddenly, the "auto mode" switched to "on mode" out of the blue (Yet AGAIN, the switch was set to AUTO and not ON that day). There was a machine that ran for days on end He knows - The way to There are many I walked for a long time in extremely hot weather. After it cooled down, I checked for material stuck to it. I found nothing. I do believe if I had come home later, the machine would've caught on fire.
After the machine cooled down, I examined it for anything related to paper. It seemed as if the shredder was clean, and the incident did not seem to be connected to anything. The AUTO MODE works the same as ON MODE since that day. Since I am afraid of a fire, I do not use it if it is plugged into an outlet unless I absolutely have to, but I am also afraid to use In my opinion, I have decided to write a review of the product now because I am tired of looking at it at home. The book is just there in my room, collecting dust and taking up space. It is not even possible for me to sell it because it does not work. The product seems to be a piece of garbage, and I have had it less than a year. In the event that regret can kill me, I would be a mangled corpse. My money is gone and I really wish I could get it I strongly recommend that you DO NOT buy this book! The device has a tendency to malfunction, and it can become a hazard around the house. Although the return or refund process is too late, I hope I am able to prevent other customers from purchasing it in the future.

I exited the room after smelling something burning after using the machine for about 6 months and shredding a couple of minutes' worth of junk mail while it was on fire
3/5

As soon as I returned, I noticed the top of the plastic had been It would be much more valuable to me to invest in a more expensive, high quality version in the future to ensure fire safety.

Great match for light duty and high security! The company I work for is trying to cut down on expenses, so when I saw that I could get a 12 page cross cut shredder for $50 from Amazon's brand, I decided that it was worth trying
5/5

I saw this unit and fell in love with it. The document is microcut, class 4 security, but it only has six Well, that's interesting. This is what I chose to do instead of the other, since I'm a gardener, so all my shredded materials become We were very pleased with the same day delivery in the Phoenix area and our product arrived the next day. I was impressed with how little packaging they use, and how eco-friendly they are. It is certain to be friendly. We shredded all of the documents in a matter of minutes, despite a stack that was an inch thick. Several pages, it doesn't even notice papers passing through it, but three pages, you can see it is starting to work. It doesn't notice the papers passing through it one page, two pages is about the same. I have not tried more, but I will say that it tried to cut eight pages without stopping. It cut six pages, seven pages, eight pages, just so I can demonstrate that I tested it this morning. As someone who normally shreds a few things every day, and who needs the security Class 4, confetti-size shred, this unit is the one for you. Should I ever have a chance to purchase again, I would simply choose this unit, especially after seeing how it handles two.

Vermicomposting is what I do with it
4/5

Shredder that does a good job. It shreds if it fits. Putting it into reverse if it gets stuck and hitting the side of the shredder head will help. Upon reverse, the object will return to its original position again. It is possible to get the shredder stuck when it shreds small materials by removing the two screws holding the top cover on to the bottom of the head. The pieces should fall out of that slot when you shake your head. You can also shoot compressed air into it. Running the machine in reverse for 30 seconds will also result in a nice result. Keeping the motor warm will help it work more efficiently. Every Amazon box and appliance box, any newspaper and mail I have received, every cereal box, pizza box, and any packaging box I have handled since owning this item has been shredded. With table scraps and crushed shells, I feed it to my red wrigglers once a month. With myself and my shredder, I have actually shredded entire pallets of cardboard. My routine involves shredding one 40 gallon garbage bag of cardboard and random garbage paper per week. Run the machine in reverse while lubricating the blades with vegetable oil, rather than shredder oil, and do not use lube In any case, if you use it for compost, the oil from the shredder is machine oil, and this means that your supply is contaminated. If the pieces are thicker, they will be divided into strips as they shred. It's important to keep in mind that just because it fits, the thickness may be greater than optimal. As soon as I got my hands on any document, I shredded it. They digest white paper wonderfully as well as soda boxes, and everything is digested by these worms later on. The animals in my library ate some things planted outside my library and I shredded them to get rid of them. I want to use magazines, glossy papers, etc. So what should I buy? a great option. It takes a short amount of time, but it is well Lightning deals have been running for $35 since I bought it. Considering the way the interview went, it's pretty decent for somebody looking to become a vermpicoster. In no time, if you order as much as I do at Amazon, you will have a garage full of food for worms and carbon for compost. I keep close to six cubic yards of shredded cardboard in huge packing containers, in refrigerator boxes, and in This is something that keeps them coming back for more. How's that for a neat idea? As a result, Amazon cannot switch to plastic packaging since it would harm the environment, which means you have an unlimited supply. That's what I mean.

The shredder I was looking for was good
5/5

There was a claim that this one had been shredded. In search of a good shredder, I looked online. An advertisement for one of these claims it shredded paper to micron After taking a look at the cut size, I thought it was worth I think it is amazing! All of the paperwork I have has personal information and I'm very careful about how I handle it. This machine is awesome. Here is a picture of what the final result looked like- all the pieces are very small, and you can see blue pieces were pieces of a debit card that were thoroughly Despite its size and light weight, it is very quiet and very compact. It is well worth the purchase price.
