does it shred credit cards?

It could barely shred paper that was folded twice in half. It does not have the power to shred anything thick.

No, it does not shred credit cards. With new batteries it will shred maximum of 5-6 thicknesses of paper but typical max load is about 4 thicknesses. The feed slot is about 4" so 1 piece of paper folded in half would be 2 thicknesses....

I'm an Identity Theft and Risk Management Specialist and just short of burning your papers this shredder will do the job. Oil the blades this will shred for a long time. FYI with all the corporate information that has been compromised your identity needs more than a shreder to protect it.

I found the shredder not up to what it is suppose to do. It does not shred more than 3 sheets at a time and if always getting jammed if the paper is a "little" crooked going in. I would not recommend it as my next shredder.

Yes, it does. You just pull it toward you. You don't have to remove the shredder top to empty.

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.

Jennifer, it handles staples very well. I've also shredded a couple of credit cards, and it didn't hesitate. No sure if it'll do that as it get older/dull, but it's a great shredder at a good price!

No it doesn't. You have to erase the card once it's full or every now and then. Depending on the amount of activity, I do mine about once a week (I got this reply from my niece who uses her system 24/7.) Hope this helps.

according to this, as long as the magnet is 1 inch away from the magnetic strip, it should be ok. I just opened my wallet and checked, if you place the card in the card slot so the magnetic strip is farther rather than close to the magnet, its about an inch away. I don't think that it will destroy the cards.http://www.creditcards.com/credit-card-news/demagnetization-ruin-credit-card-magnetic-stripe-1273.php

It's a cd/credit card slot, tried cutting up cards in the regular shredder side and it doesn't work.

I just tried an old gift card, and the machine cuts most of the card horizontally - the papers do get cross cut though. It appears that the machine is designed with a certain length where the cross cut happens, that may be the reason the card shred came mostly horizontal.

The teeth are metal. This shredder is able to shred credit cards as well as paper

It will not demagnetize credit cards but it does demagnetize hotel door cards. They have a weaker field and are killed even being near the wallet.

Hi :) Yes it does shred cabbage. I use it to shred onion, cabbage, lettuce ... etc.

My understanding when I bought the shredder was that it was intended for paper and credit cards. However, in looking at the user's manual, it states on page one: "Do not attempt to shred materials other than paper, credit cards and CD's in the provided feed slots." I've only used the machine for paper and credit card shredding. I don't have a dedicated slot for CD's on my CX80 model so I've never tried to shred them. DVD's are not mentioned anywhere in the manual. Hope this helps.

I haven't tried packing material but it does shred 12 pages at a time and credit cards very well. Also, thick card stock from advertisers so I would think it would.

I Would not recommend trying to shred something like that. I have seen more expensive type shredders struggle with cardboard. It may be okay if you shred in small strips. But it will eat up credit cards, CD's, and DVD's with no problem. Hope this helps

Thanks for asking this! I bought a mount with a magnet on the plate and it killed every single credit card in my purse!
