Does the waste basket pull out or do you have to lift off the lid?

It pulls out. Great machine. Just make sure you have the oil to keep the shredder parts lubricated. It ought to last a long time. Mine doesn't get used too much but it runs quick as long as you don't stuff too many sheets of paper in at once. Keep within the recommendations.

It does pull out. I love this shredder, works well each time. I keep both buttons off until I use it. When it does get full, it needs to be dumped out for recycing. 100% satisfied.

It pulls out; you do not have to lift the lid. I have been very pleased with this shredder.

You would need to remove the lid and then dump the basket like a trash can.

Yes, it will come off. Mine came off once when I had the basket full of beans, and spilled beans all over the sink and floor. I wasn't happy about that, but the handle went right back on again. If you don't fill the basket it's kind of secure. They could've done better on that.

No, the only way the lids stay open is to step on the foot pedal. I thought that could be a nuisance but it's hands free and I don't actually find a problem with it. It's a great garbage can.

No - in our case it fits into a holder and rolls out when we pull it out - put trash or recyclables into it and close it. So it works fine for us without a lid.

No. It's an open waste basket without any type of lid or top. So its always "open". You pop off the top portion to insert the trash bag.

It pulls off. There's a gasket around the rim which still keeps it airtight though.

There is a sliding latch. Push it towards the center. Then twist the lid and lift off.

Yes, the waste basket pulls out. I've been very happy with this shredder. It's not meant for industrial use, but it works great for my home office.

Yes, the back pulls up to take the trash in or out. There's also a hole for the trash to go in using the little trash can that comes with it.

Along the lip of the lid, there is a plastic 'tab' that you pull horizontally and you will keep pulling all the way around the lid until its removed. Hope that helps!

Yes, it opens up for storage and is hinged so one does not have to completely lift off the lid to open it.

It does not "lift" off.....it slides to either side by pivoting on the rivet in the lid.....very carefully lift slightly on the handle and move to either side...the first time it is very stiff but after that it is easy to use the feature.

Open the lid, and at the base of the lid where it connects to the body, there's a small metal bar that is slid into a locked position in the body. While the lid is upright, gently guide the bar up, over, and past the little lock, and pull up. It should come right out.

Remove the strap (I'm sure you did that already but just in case) and put your hands on either side of the lid where the strap used to be. Use your fingers to push in the plastic tabs and lift up. The lid should come right off. The plastic tabs on the lid fit into slots on either side of the base.

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 turn a plastic thumb screw half turn on each hinge and lid lifts off. Simple yet clever!
