can you use this to shred paper?

Yes you can. However I would not want to shred very much. Not sure my hands could take more than one 8 1/2 x 11 inch sheet.

Yes I can. The scissor is very sharp and shredded variety of foods needed for my baby. The only tricky part was the cleaning of the blade.

I just tried to shred paper with this and yes it does work it's going to take some time but it will work

I doubt that would work. It struggles to do much more than one sheet of paper.

I just shredded 10 in mine with no problem. It does slow it down. I did 12 as well but 15 nearly gave it a heart/motor attack. I probably wouldn't buy this one if you are looking to shred reams of business paper at 10 per shred or you might burn out the motor. If it's for a small office or home I'm sure it will be great. I shred unopened credit card solicitation envelopes all the time and those are pretty thick.

I'm gonna bet not. think of it as being more of an effective "smasher into bits" as opposed to "scissor slicing into bits." I tried to run some very dry desert palm tree fronds though it and all it did was make masses of fibrous strings that clumped up and clogged the shredder.

I have used it to shred thin cardboard but it is not ideal. You can tell that the motor is working harder than with regular paper - even 8 sheets. Normal usage limit is 2 minutes of continuous shredding. If you were going to shred thin cardboard, I wouldn't do more than 30 seconds at a time or so, just my opinion.

I wouldn't anyway. Metal blade rotator. It is the easiest shredder to clean I've seen. Takes 30 secs.

That would depend on the size of the checkbook. I wouldn't hesitate to shred the check registers that I use, but the "checkbook" you are referring to may be different from a check register.

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.

After all, it is a machine and can do just so much. It does shred unopened envelopes to a degree; as for papers at an angle, as long as there aren't too many at a time, it should be OK. It will stop if whatever you feed is too much for it to handle - so you just have to reverse, pull out and half what you put in. I still think it's an amazing machine!

I have not used it for this. However the small blade would make shredding foam or sponge difficult. It's a much better "chipper" for branches & sticks than a shredder for soft, loose & bulky material. The 'mouth' is not wide or deep like a funnel but shallow w/ a small-ish opening.

I do not think it will work for that application. However I am not sure, I only use this with paper.

Yes. I just use a 13 gallon plastic bag and pull the top edge of the bag over the top of the container. This doesn't look great as you can see the bag from the front of the shredder, but it works fine with no problems.

I'm sure you can use it with any shredder to keep the blades lubed and clean.

yes, this shredder accepts letter sized sheets. I shred all kinds of sizes in it. Says it will accept up to 4 sheets (I usually do 2 or 3 at a time) so if you have something larger than it will accept, I would guess you could just fold it to fit.

After receiving this request from Amazon to answer your question, I used it to cut a laminated sheet of paper. It worked flawlessly. No issues what so ever.

Unless a larger can has the same top shape as the Fellows shredder, I don'r know how you would be able to use it.
