    I basically ran this shredding paper, credit cards, and a CD non-stop for hours. I was not counting the number sheets, but at times I know it was over ten. These are paper trash bags 35” high. They are full and another is half full. The shredder was one hungry BEAST. It ate everything and never hic-upped once.I am more than pleased.
