can you put a bag/liner into the basket to collect the shreds without disabling the trip switch?

Yes. I do that all the time. Makes it easier to empty andno mess. The bag should overlap the ouitside edge of the basket. Hope this helps. Thanks for asking.

I tried to use an oversized bag (I only have big plastic bags). I pulled it tight so the excess was outside the basket. It would not work. It would not turn on. The bag, I think, prevents the basket going in as far as it needs to turn the unit on. The unit won't work with the basket pulled out.

You can easily remove the bags from the front of the hamper. Very nice product. It also has plastic/rubber feet on the bottom to prevent slipping or scratching.

No. This basket is used to put small pieces of food in that you don't want to slip through the metal rack.

No, with retractable cord unit totally separate you can change bag if needed. I don't understand why you should even be concerned since the change filter indicator is clearly visible on top of the unit.

I had the same question. But I figured it out. This hamper is not meant to be moved around and lifted like a basket - or else it would have handles on the sides. The slits are for when you lift up the hamper, the dirty clothes fall to the floor. You won't have to bend into the basket to scoop up the clothes. Just gran the sides, lift and viola, your clothes fall out. No need to exert effort. You might have to shake it a little.

In the image, there is a semi circular area at the bottom of the holder. The area is cut out so that you can pull bags out through the semi circular hole

Yes. You remove the basket before folding. It folds and unfolds with complete ease.

It could be used without installing the wheels. The only issue could be that the laundry bags may drag on the floor when full it not using the wheels. The wheels have a lock feature to keep it in place if you don't plan on rolling it to a laundry area from a bedroom or bathroom.

Yes you can as long as it's a thin grocery bag. Thick bags will prevent the door to securely close and therefore the shredder not working.

I'd say no, there is access but the opening is smaller than the basket. I can get my diaper bag in but it's impossible to pull out.

It would indeed stop the movement but the bags will still bounce more than desired when hitting the board --- it's just too flimsy of a design. Poor design = poor experience. Save your money and buy something sturdier that doesn't need to be fixed with sandbags at the bottom.

Put fingers in drawer slot, lift up slightly, pull forward. I never had a problem with mine. Is the basket too full? If so, give the shredder a little shake to settle the shredded paper. Try again.

I have never done this but it does make sense. If you do it, keep the bag low enough where it does not come in contact with the cutters. When mine is full, I jut place the plastic bag over the opening and turn it upside down to drop the shreds into the bag. While shredding, I stop every few minutes to compact the shred in the container. But then you have to shake harder when you go to empty it. Remember to limit your shredding to 10 or 15 minutes as the shedder will get hot and hang up on you. Per owners manual.

Hi Susan,The bins cannot be switched on this model since the buckets are different sizes/shapes. Best,simplehuman

It's designed so you can pull the bags out the bottom. Mine is set in a low cabinet so I just take the bag on top.

You can . I tried using a trash bag, but for me it was a mess. It is so easy to pull the basket out and place a open plastic trash bag over the opening and dump the shredded paper in and dispose of it .
