How often does it have to be oiled? What kind of oil? Easy to do?

My Royal 120X is still brand new, used it only a few times. Works like a charm.I would use a sawing machine oil. The shredder can't be more complicated then the old "used every day" sawing machine!

Depends how much you use it, when it starts sounding a bit noisy I oil it with sewing machine oil.

Oil made for shredders; use manufacturers recommendations. Not frequently in general.

I use solid oils and leave in at all times. About once a year, or if I cook fish, I strain the grease and put it back after I have cleaned the unit.

It sits in the oil. If you're concerned about cleaning it, I don't consider it a big deal. The heating element is a decent size.

No you need oil to out in there. Its easy to use. My husband and kids enjoy it

Use Rotella T1 oil.I purchased this product and it broke before I even used it. It is not worth the money IMO. I replaced it with a Bosch hammer and it is much better quality. The Bosch hammer was about $750.00 though.

i've found it to be very easy to clean. just make sure you spray it with some oil before you use it so you won't get anything rly stuck on it at all. its easy to just wipe off with a damp rap or paper towel

It was oiled when I got it and it's still a little greasy after a couple of months. I'm not using it for anything but to retain its carbon steel composition, I would grease it up every few months.

The one we got had a thick oil on it. My husband says it was a seasoning oil. We heated it up & scrubbed it. Seasoning and smoothing it took several days.

If you skate street all the time, like everyday for hours at a time, I would keep them oiled once a week. If you skate park, once a week should be enough. Use 3 in 1 oil. It's available at any auto parts or hardware store. 3 in 1 is way better than any skateboard brand cleaner and keeps bearings fast and rust free.

use any king of cooking oil. Put on area and leave for a few hours. comes right off.

Ditto what Lesa said one of the best and no oil to clean after each use it will do it for you and I'm on my second one. Rick

Make you spray some oil in it and then it is wonderful! When you are in a hurry it gets too hot if you do not spray and everything sticks. Easy

I oiled mine right from the box and take it slow. I've not had any problems, but it could also depend on the type of hair you have.

I've had mine for 8 months and haven't oiled it, but I didn't use it either. It still looks fine. I hope this helps.

I've had my shredder for a year now and use it fairly consistently. Have only oiled it once just because I thought I should because of frequent use. It was quick and easy. Good advice from other commenter about oiling every bin load or two.

You need to treat that top as you would a new cutting board. Use mineral oil, you can buy it here or at any pharmacy. The rule of thumb with a new board, as explained to me, is to oil it well once a day for a week, once a week for a month and once a month thereafter.

Very easy! I soak it in a bin with detergent, rub it together, and it's clean. Much easier than cleaning an aluminum sheet or George Foreman grill.
