QuestionHow well does the bin contain the shredded paper? Does it make a mess when you empty it?
Asked 11 years ago by KWBobalu.
- Answer The W-11C has a lift off lid. This removable lid allows you to easily empty the shred bin into an alternate garbage can or bag. This particular shredder also has a lip on the front of the machine which would facilitate you to easily determine how full the shred bin is at any given time. This is not a mesh bin.

QuestionWill this shred junk mail without taking it out of the envelope? Thanks
Asked 10 years ago by McMiller.

QuestionHow long can it run without over heating?
Asked 7 years ago by KitKit.
- Answer Mine starts getting warm after about 5 minutes of constant use. I'm not sure what "over-heating" looks/feels like, but mine has never shut-down from too much use. Sorry if this doesn't help much. I will say that keeping the teeth lubricated is a really good idea, I just use some clean vegetable oil that has soaked-in on a single, thin paper plate, after maybe an hour of use.

Questionis there an opening to throw magazines in without shredding them? Fellowes - W-11C 11-Sheet Crosscut Shredder - Black/Silve
Asked 12 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer There is a slot in the front top of the bin. The slot is approx 1 in x 8 in. I often use the slot to put loose paper in. The slot is visible in the pictures of the shredder. Very many magazines and the bin would be full. I do not put magazines in mine.

QuestionWhat is the recommended run time?
Asked 6 years ago by Mac3636.
- Answer The instructions state a maximum 5 minute continuous run time, with a forced cool-down period of 20 minutes if you try to run for longer than 5 minutes continuously. I have not yet had the circumstances to test this - that's a pretty long time considering how fast you can feed pages in.
