What is the run time on this shredder?

The run time to shred something is about 3-4 seconds plus 1 more second of overhead for the device to make sure everything has gone through. If you are talking about how long it lasts, this is it's second year of service for me and it does not show signs of wear.

as fast as you can feed it one sheet at a time,a little longer depending on the amount of sheets fed at one time

I'm not sure we haven't used it enough to answer that I'm sorry. I just know I bought this and when I did use it liked it so well I bought my mom one who is 71 and she loves hers easy to use.

Run time ? Don't understand. will cut one sheet at a time. It needs to cool off after 15 sheets.

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.

I just did a test. The shredder recommends a maximum of 8 sheets, so 8 letter-size (8.5 inches x 11 inches) sheets took 6.3 seconds. One sheet took 3.3 seconds.

If you mean how long does it take to shred a full sized sheet of paper, the answer is probably about 3 seconds.

About every 30 sheets or so. I found no info on that issue just have done it since I bought the first shredder about 2 yrs. ago. We simply wore the first one out. We live in a RV full-time and shred every piece of paper with our name and address on it so it's used often. Would suggest regular shredder lubricant and we run a bead across the top of the sheet.

Maybe 1.25 cm long and not even 0.25 cm wide. I am confident enough to shred financial documents and publicly recycle the shredded material. Hope this helps - I really like the shredder.

It depends on how often and how much you use your shredder. I've used one sice I bought the pack of lub pads and the shredder still sounds great. after four months. Under normal conditions I run about 150 sheets through the shredder a week. I figure the shredder will be due for another sub in about a month.

According to the operating manual the shredder has a 8-minute continuous running time and then it automatically shuts off. The wait period is 80 minutes. I don't have that heavy of a shredding job. One other comment, you need to empty the shred bin when it is about half to 3/4 full, otherwise you get a mess when you take out the bin. Once we learned to watch for this, the Dirt Devil does a fine job for us. We especially like the CD and credit card shredder feature.

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.

If you want an answer (rather than a lesson in basic electronics) then this unit is about 265W. That's based on what is printed on the bottom of the shredder component (120V and 2.2A.) If you're going to bring this to a country with 220V (like I am), I'd suggest a 300W or higher voltage converter.

Stacie, I have a Fellowes DS-3 10 and I am quite satisfied with its power and performance. I have had other shredders that do not come close to the quality and the performance of this machine. I give it 5 stars hands down--thanks, Ron

I have not had the unit overheat yet and have shredded a lot of material - I also tend to throw unopened junk mail in the shredder and it has no issues. This is the best shredder I have ever used. The only two things I can think of that are negative is the bin is a little small but I knew this when I purchased it and the corners on my bin were bent (plastic) and it was obvious this was not from shipping - it's minor and does not affect anything just cosmetic.

I've never tried it. This shredder starts to groan with 4 sheets of paper. I don't try to force it as I have a lot of shredding to do cleaning out my house. I don't try to use it any more than 15 minutes at a time.

I think it is fabulous, seems fast to me, I don't know how the noise level rates to others, It has never gotten jammed and shreds paper into tiny bits..I highly recommend this shredder.

I can't compare but I am extremely happy with the shredder as far as quality and how much it can shred at a time. recommend highly.

You can continuously shred for between 20-25 minutes and then you need to let it cool down.

It depends on how many sheets I shred at one time, the junk mail envelopes about 5-6 min. I haven't had it to overheat on the single sheets yet.
