Does it have a drawer to open to empty or must you lift the top of the machine and then empty the shreds???

you lift the top off to empty. it has a handle on top , seems to make it easier to hold.

Just lift the top using the handle and then dump the bottom "bin" to empty the shreds. After you empty the bin, just replace the top and you're ready to shred again.

You must lift off the top and dump the bin. It's not that hard, the handle makes it easy.

If you let it get so completely full that it stops, sometimes the paper shreds remain jammed up in the shredding unit even though the bin is empty. Try the following:1. pull the bin completely out 2. tap on the side of the unit (near the top) to see if you can loosen the jam, use the reverse button intermittently3. shine a flashlight up into the blades from inside the bin area to see if you can see a problem4. vacuum out the shredding blades with a crevice attachment on the vacuum hose (looking up from inside the bin area)5. tilt the unit upside down and then right side up If you let it get so completely full that it stops, sometimes the paper shreds remain jammed up in the shredding unit even though the bin is empty.

Its easy. Just press the black button on the top of the stapler and the drawer pops out. It is at the back of the top

There is no lifting and there are just two sides to the device. Just take the top of the bag off the device and slide the full bag out from either side. Great design.

The dust tray easily lifts up from the top of the sweeper! The sweeper comes with a metal tool that you use to clean the bottom brush! So easy!

I would not call it a "pull out" basket. The bin is a separate piece from the shredder. The shredding unit sits on top of the bin, and will not operate unless it is firmly in place. To empty the bin you have to lift the shredder off the top. It is quite top-heavy, and a bit cumbersome, and it's hard not to get tiny shreds of paper all over. I think this is pretty standard for shredders like this in general. I usually unplug it and take the whole thing into the garage to empty it. In fact, I put the whole thing bin and all into a plastic garbage bag before I separate the two parts, so the confetti is contained in the bag. I would not call it a "pull out" basket.

The casinster near the handle collects the dirt. There is a red release tab near the side of the canister. Just pull that back. It will open the back of the canister so that you can dump what has been collected. The opening will snap shut after emptying.

Emptying must be done carefully or you end up with little bits of paper everywhere but where you want them.Basket is easy to pull out and is light weight BUT it must be reinstalled properly to activate the shredders.

It's an access hole to view the shredded paper and push it down of spread it out if necessary. You can also grab ahold of it with your had to move the shredder around or remove the shredder top.

Yes. It is in the top of the bucket. It flips up for lifting . However, as it suggests in the manual, I lift it out using 1 hand for the handle and the other to support the bottom of the bucket for stability. It's very easy to lift in and out of the unit.

It does not. If you open one drawer you cannot open another drawer until you close trhe first drawer.

There are 2 spring loaded flappers on the underside. You hold it over the trash bin and pinch each one open to empty. Plus there is a little comb to clean the brushes. I love mine.

Yes. It slides in and pulls out completely. you can also put a regular plastic bag in it to make life easier when emptying the shredded paper. very nice unit. i love it

The top does open, but there's no small "secret" drawer directly under the top.

Step on the release button on the top of the base,lift off the base, hold it over a waste basket, then push the button that's on the handle and the dust bin opens. Hope this helps

There are two buttons on top that you push in on to open the bottom up. Once you empty it just push up the door until it clicks back in place. That's it.
