how many minutes of shredding can you complete before the machine shuts down due to overheating & how long is the cool down period?

I have never had it shut down, but I have never run it for 15 minutes straight. I do run an oiled paper through it every once in a while.

We have never had it shut off even with over 15 min straight shredding time.

Don't know. How old is machine? How long did you run it, at what temp? I've never run mine more than 4 hours, as it seems to dry things out quickly, even when making jerky. Did the heating element go out? Did the circuit blow? Too many variables.

how long can it run before it becomes to hot and you have to turn it off to cool ?

I wouldn't worry about overheating unless you are doing an enormous amount of shredding at one time. I use a Shredder Lubricant Sheet (just run one through the shredder and it lubricates and makes it run smoother and more efficiently) once a month and the machine runs very smoothly without overheating.

Not exactly sure how long it can run, but shortly after I received mine I had a shred - a -thon far about 2 hours an had no problems. It also has a nice meter that tells you when it's starting to over heat.

All what I've read is that one should use it after doing a lot of shredding. I use it every time I fill bin twice. Mainly you just want to make sure to keep it maintained.

Sorry this was a bad machine. From day 1, it overheats after about 30 minutes. Don't have dimensions off top if my head but it was around 2 feet long

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 have not tested that. The longest I have used it for is maybe 15-20 minutes. But that's not 100% shredding the whole time.

I does stay active for several seconds after the sheet(s) are shredded, so you could call that continuous feed. It does get rather warm after continued use for a lot of shredding. If you need to shred a high volume of paper, I would look for a more heavy duty (and continuous duty) machine. For home use or even small business, it is a great machine.

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

I guess it depends how long you need it to run in the event of a power failure. If this is your only computer and only need a very short up time before shutting down it may be over kill for you.

the instructions included on the back of the item states it wii auto shut off at 104 if left there for more than 1 hr. i would say u can go below that if yor using the item. hope this helps.

I think it comes with a 90 days parts and labor; 1 year parts only warranty. It's unlikely you will ever get to the point of using it for light to medium duty shredding unless, of course, it's DOA.

a very good shredder, only dtraw back is after some steady use it will warn and then shut down to cool

Overheating is a common reason for system shutdowns. It is weird that it would stay down for 3 hours though.Monitor the temperature for some time while using the machine. I believe the mobo came with a program for that. If you don't have it you can find such programs online.If you notice it getting hot you could try replacing the default cooling fan and heat sync with a more robust one.I usually like to have my pc setup so it runs around 40°C for normal use and does not cross 70°C when really pushing heavy programs (battlefield 3 or 4)

Run time ? Don't understand. will cut one sheet at a time. It needs to cool off after 15 sheets.
