How many sheets can this really shred? Some reviews say 10, others say less than 10. Which is it?

Truthfully I haven't counted; however I believe it would shred at least 10 at a time. I have had it for a couple of years now and it works great. I agree with the below comments, great for a home office.

I just ran 10 sheets through it. You could hear the motor work a little harder but it didn't have any problems getting the job done.

Haven't tried more than 10, but it will take 10 (as long as they are not extra thick)

I just shredded 10 in mine with no problem. It does slow it down. I did 12 as well but 15 nearly gave it a heart/motor attack. I probably wouldn't buy this one if you are looking to shred reams of business paper at 10 per shred or you might burn out the motor. If it's for a small office or home I'm sure it will be great. I shred unopened credit card solicitation envelopes all the time and those are pretty thick.

I've had it running for about ten minutes continuously without a problem, again it is not a heavy duty shredder but 10 minutes 8-10 sheets of paper is pretty solid, so far I love and it's been several months.

12 sheets I used 2 sheets the first time didn't notice any difference. I realize mr shredder (Xerox) is 10 years old I am going to buy a new one

Possibly I havent tried that it does do like 3 to 4 sheets at a time it says it can do 11 but that's how my last one got ruined

I haven't noticed anything and have not had any problems with this shredder. I have not experienced any papers folding over or any jams. I do not shred many sheets at once. I take my time. Once you place the item being shredded, allow the shredder to grab and proceed.

It really depends on how often and how much you shred. I shred only about 50-100 sheets per week. However, I have used two of the sheets and am very pleased at the ease and convenience. I tried the bottled oil at first and found it to be a little messy having to wipe off excess. The sheets are well worth the money and I highly recommend to purchase. You won't regret it. Hope this helps.

About 20-25 sheets. It works well for faxing and copying. I like mine. Beverley

We've cut up to 100 sheets at a time, but I would say that it could do 150 to 200. The paper we cut is heavy gauge so with regular copy paper you could probably get 250 pages.

Hi... the package I got has 100 sheets... and I had the same question when placing the order b/c the sheet count is not mentioned anywhere in the product description!

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.

I never counted the pages I was putting into it, but the slot where the pages go to punch the holes probably won't let you put to many more than about 30 sheets in it as it is narrow. In other words you can't try to punch 100 sheets at a time as they won't fit in the slot.

Sorry, I can not answer that particular question. The only problem that have had is that it jams up bad if I try to use much less than 25 or 30 sheets of paper in the in tray.

I am not aware of this, I shredded the numerous papers I had, and then stopped. Perhaps if you are shredding for a long while, there might be concern about overheating, but I have not shredded long enough for this to occur, nor did I read anything about that in other reviews. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Not sure about just one sheet, but we sometimes use it for 6-10 and it works just fine.

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.

The specifications say 36 pieces of what I call photocopy paper. It would easily do 8-10 sheets. I cannot recommend this trimmer enough. Just love it.

I don't know exactly how many but it is not the 36 sheets. It was when I first got the printer but it is less now. It is used by multiple users so I don't have a good feel for it.
