## Questions & Answers

**Q: Which shredder oil is recommended for this shredder?**
A: 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/

**Q: What's the warranty on this shredder?**
A: I was told mine had a one year warranty but when mine jammed and I called I was told that I could only get a refund minus an $8 stocking charge. To get a replacement I had to buy a new shredder. I think it depends on who you talk to what you get.

**Q: Is this a medium duty cycle for a small office?**
A: 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.

**Q: can you use a bag**
A: Somebody said use a 4 Gallon plastic trash bag to catch cuttings. I wasted my money purchasing some. The Amazon Basics 15-Sheet Cross-Cut Paper, CD Credit Card Office Shredder bin holds way more than a 4 gallon bag. I tried to stretch the bag over the bin and it simply tore. DO NOT TRY A 4 GALLON BAG.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ DON’T OVERLOAD IT OR YOU’LL THINK IT’S BROKEN, HERE’S HOW TO ACTUALLY USE IT
*by M***T on January 13, 2026*

AS SOMEONE DOING A LONG OVERDUE HOME CLEANOUT, I BOUGHT THIS because old mail, expired documents, and credit card offers pile up faster than trash day. The main reason people buy this shredder is to safely get rid of personal information without making a mess or spending office level money. What I wanted was something compact that could live under a desk, handle regular household paperwork, and not feel like a toy. This shredder hits that balance and immediately felt more solid than the ultra cheap strip cut models. Here is the usage tip I wish Amazon spelled out clearly. Treat the eight sheet rating as a maximum, not a goal. For normal mail and mixed paper, five to six sheets at a time works best and keeps it running smoothly. Feed pages straight and give it a second between loads so the motor does not heat up. For credit cards, insert one at a time and let it finish fully before adding anything else. Doing this completely avoids jams and extends the life of the cutters, especially if you shred in short sessions instead of marathon runs. The minor downside is the waste bin fills faster than you expect because cross cut pieces are denser, and it is not whisper quiet. That said, for home use it has been reliable, easy to maintain, and far more secure than strip shredders. If you want dependable document destruction without paying for a bulky office shredder, this is a smart buy that does exactly what it should when used correctly.
