Does this shred junk mail?

I do not recommend this model because of the frequency of overheating and paper jamming.

yes! It seems to be very powerful. and if for some reason it gets stuck, I press the reverse button and it fixes itself. lol junk mail with credit card-ish type of objects in it... it will still shred. (from experience)

Yes, the 100X shreds junk-mail. Junk mail is best fed through the manual slot to avoid jams.Lynn,Acco Brands

I'm sorry but I don't really know. I shredded over 30 lbs. of old documents over the course of several days. I went through many of them before shredding which gave the shredder a break. I believe the manual states this information, however. I'll check tonight when I get home and let you know later.

My experience with shredding leaves with this machine was that it jammed up with any volume. I spent more time unclogging it than I did shredding. I doubt it would do a good job.

I do not use the shredder . I returned it because I found it very dangerous. you have to be extremely careful with it. the first time I used it the last swipe I cut half my nail off of my little finger. I have heard others ended up at the hospital due to the bleeding. don't buy it ! it should be taken off the market. don't waste your money!

I bought this for my daughter-in-law, and she said she didn't know why it wouldn't because it shreds everything else. She loves it.

Does not take any bags that I am aware of. I have used this quite well, by just dumping the shredding when close to full and also keeping off when not in use. Works well on credit cards as well.

I don't think the blades would shred paper. They'd probably jam up. And it really isn't designed for large volumes of anything.

Yes you can, depending on the thickness. The anti-jam feature does the same thing I used to do manually with my old shredder: rewind and retry...it "bites" through the thicker envelopes (but keep it in reason!).

The Unit does run for just a bit (1 second or so) after the documents are inhaled. Common sense tells me that this is purposely and a good thing so that the item is shredded thoroughly and passes through the entire shredding area without leaving debris stuck in its teeth. Take it as a positive!

I have not had any problems. I use Avast for an antivirus and they filter all the junk mail.

It is larger than a typical home shredder, but I love it. If you are shredding several times a week, this is a good model. Only, don't shred junk mail envelopes with the cellophane windows. They melt as the shredder gets warm during use, and it can clog the shredder. I found that out the hard way. Otherwise, really terrific machine!

YES it will shred it, However, you must load the machine lightly with live tree branches, plants, brush and or fruits or it will clog. Each year, I shred whatever is left in the garden (tomatos, onions, and other foods) and it is ripped/shredded. I normally wait till these items die before shredding these items because the machine then gets all wet inside which helps rust to take hold and i want the machine to last longer. So I usually wait till things are dried up and dead before i shred them. Remember you cannot clean or dry the inside of the machine so its always best to shred dry/dead items. I have also shredded 4 inch 2x4 pieces and it chops them up also but beware if you do that because it will spit pieces out.

I would not recommend this chipper for shredding anything. There are other machines that are better shredders. You might look at something advertised as a 'leaf shredder' rather than this type of 'chipper.'

I say it depends on how often you use your shredder to begin with. Heavy use would require once a month at least. If you shred receipts, mail, and documents here and there as I do, I have done it when I thought it necessary. When it seemed that it becsme more difficult for the paper to shred. So far since buying them, I've used 1 or 2. And when I do the shredder works as intended again.

I am sure it will but not all at once. It would have to be ripped into smaller sections to shred it. It can handle about 6 sheets of paper easily. The opening can only handle an 8.5" piece of paper though.

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 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
