Does this shredder have continuous feed? If so, is it limited?

I does stay active for several seconds after the sheet(s) are shredded, so you could call that continuous feed. It does get rather warm after continued use for a lot of shredding. If you need to shred a high volume of paper, I would look for a more heavy duty (and continuous duty) machine. For home use or even small business, it is a great machine.

This shredder does not have a continuous feed per se. That is, it does not have any kind of apparatus or tray (like on a fax machine) that would allow you to load say a large number of pieces to be shredded, and have either gravity or a roller (like what they have in small printers) pull the product down into the shredder. You can continuously feed pieces to be shredded, one at a time, manually into the shredder and it will handle that. Hope that helps. Overall, it is a very good shredder and very quiet.

Not sure what you mean by continuous. It is limited by numbers of sheets you can put in at a time (max seems to be 10). You also have to hand feed it although its stays activated until shut off. The meachine works fine for me but I do not do a lot of shredding so if you do this might not be your machine.

It can continuously shred paper for 10 mins straight. However, if you do it at a more moderate pace it won't overheat that qucikly.

there a switch just on the inside when you activate the shredder it might be catching on a piece of paper that is caught. and not releasing after it has passed.

No. The only paper feeds are from the paper tray (underneath) and the rear feeder. Both must be blank paper. Automatic Document Feeders, which is what you are looking for, are considerably more expensive.

You can fit up to 8 (normal weight) pages into the shredder at one time. I shredded a bunch of paper, and am guessing it held at least 200 pages (shredded).

I have never seen that show up on my shredder. You may have paper stuck in the feeder: Check that and if you still are having issues, I would check your manual. :)

It's tough for me to answer that since I've only had one or two other shredders in my lifetime. I can say that when using the closed-lid shredding option (the one which I don't feel works very well), the shredder is quieter than most others because the action is going on inside the machine.

That would depend on how many sheets you are shredding at a time. But it is definitely not industrial, and will stop on a relatively small jam (but can be reversed.) It does have a sensor that will turn on/off between feeds. It is slower than most strip shredders that I have seen. (Back to your question) I doubt that you would get 5 minutes of continuous shredding, especially if you are feeding 8+ sheets at a time.

Yes, it does. I have not actually used it. It's called "continuously" in the menu.

There is always of necessity a certain amount of noise involved with shredding, but I thought it much quieter than any I've ever used--but in the past I've always bought on the cheaper side and they were quite noisy, so by comparison this one is a dream. For instance, if someone else is watching TV or on the phone, I don't have to wait till they are done to run the shredder like I have in the past. I think you'll be happy with it.

Yes this is the duty cycle. It can continuously shred 6 sheets or 1 card at a time or 2 minutes before it starts to get warm. However, this what you'll find with most basic home shredders.

UPDATE. I contacted Fellowes directly and they said that all the 99ci manufactured after October 2013 have the energy saving system (ESS) that puts the shredder to "standby" after a few minutes of nonuse.

What I noticed is that machine will not work more than half an hour if I use continually, as I shred only once in a month. It need a good couple of hour cooling time, may be something wrong with my machine.

No, it does not shred credit cards. With new batteries it will shred maximum of 5-6 thicknesses of paper but typical max load is about 4 thicknesses. The feed slot is about 4" so 1 piece of paper folded in half would be 2 thicknesses....

Yes it does - I believe it's a 50 sheet feeder too, which is nice - but just as a heads up, mine lasted for about 25,000 copies / almost 2 years, but the feeder tray gave up shortly after year one, and finally it had a failed pull mechanism so was subject to unfixable paper jams. I've moved to a very inexpensive MF4770 (primarily because I still had multiple toner cartridges that work in that too) - and I'll see how that works - it only has a 35 sheet feeder on top.

No, it does not have a tray or anything to hold items to be shredded. It shred's so good that you don't need to save or hold items for more than a few minutes depending on volume to be shredded. I had the unit for a few weeks and now my junk mail doesn't pile up at all. I have been able to feed the junk mail to shredder whole, thus far.

Hi Jill,The simple answer is yes it has an auto document feeder. Here is the Link to the Manual page ( http://download.brother.com/welcome/doc003022/cv_mfc4410dw_uke_busr_lel031004_b.pdf)Hope this help you, good luck. Ken

The only thing that I have for this shredder and other shredders I've had, are lubricating/cleaning sheets that you run through the shredder. I've always one sheet and have done it about once a month but if you do a lot of shredding you may want to do this more often. This just keeps the unit running smoothly.
