does this shred in strips or cross-cut ?

It shreds in stips. It is an easy way to get rid of junk mail or store receipts fast if you don't have a "real" shredder handy but I would recommend blacking out any personal info with a marker if you are concerned about your information getting out there.

strips, but i suggest you spend $10 or $15 more and get a nice electric one mine gave out on the first bag orf shredding and i did not do all at the same time. also it only takes a paper the size of a business envelope one paper at a time.

No, it only slices two different thicknesses or shreds two different sizes.

If you can cut it with the dull back of a knife, then yes. Because these cutters are as dull. But most likely the shreds will just stick back together.

I do not use the shredder . I returned it because I found it very dangerous. you have to be extremely careful with it. the first time I used it the last swipe I cut half my nail off of my little finger. I have heard others ended up at the hospital due to the bleeding. don't buy it ! it should be taken off the market. don't waste your money!

Diamond Cut, They are talking about the blades would be my guess. It cut's great 8mm Average Size Strip's. I like the product, since it will mount on a tall kitchen plastic can, in which you can shred your documents into a plastic trash bag & tie it off, for easy recycling. It will cut 6 sheet's at once, but I do mine one or two at a time. Price versus the much more expensive shredders can't be matched & it dose have a reverse button for a possible jam. And if your doing heavy shredding, it has an overheat LED Warning Light. It fit's my need for Home Office Setting & I do not regret the purchase.

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.

It shreds big and small. Does waffle fry style cuts and regular fry cuts. It does not dice. You would have to have a chopper to do something like that. I love this machine as it does cut my time in half.

The speed of the cut is kind of quick. I am satisfied with this shredder. And it didn't over heat while using it. The waste basket for the shredder is kind of small so I had to keep emptying it (I had a lot of shredding to do).

I've not had mine very long and have only used it once...and it does slice...the slicing looks like a slinky (spirally) ...lol

It will shred most anything as long as you do not exceed the maximum thickness stated in the instructions. Suggest you separate the checkbook into acceptable 'counts' and shred away

I will be completeyl honest this thing is not worth changing strips. I have to open junk mail to shred 1 page at a time.

No, it is not designed for that. It is designed for cross-cutting, not ripping.

It can shred and slice almost anything, but it does not dice. To achieve the dice effect I used the slicer cup (thick) and make vertical cuts in the onion, since the slicer is horizontal the result then ends up diced. But, if you are looking for large dice, the answer will be NO.

We use almost exclusively recycled paper. This cutter cuts it just fine. It seems to cut almost anything (including fabric, by the way) as long as you keep the blades and cutting mat sharp and replace as needed.

The paper ends up being shredded into approx. 1/2 in by 1/8 in tiny rectangular strips. I don't know if that answers your question exactly, but that's all I know. I have owned this shredder for 3 months, and I really like it...quiet, basket is easy to empty,reliable
