How long can this unit run before stopping or shutting down?

I bought the shredder to replace another one that I thought was "toasted". Fortunately or not, the other one still works so I have not even used my Universal at all so far.

This is a great machine. I used it in an art classroom where students shredded construction paper for a quilling project. They did this daily for several class periods for several weeks. I was pleased with it's performance.

We have this model and shred with light to moderate usage - 100-200 pages daily. Have not experienced a problem in a several months we owned it.

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.

The unit can be set on "C" meaning continuous, but has to be shut off manually. If you set for 5 minutes it will shut off in 5 minutes. It will go up to 95 minutes and will shut off automatically.

The actual unit should not take longe before it cuts on....hold the power button down

I have used this unit many times where I have left it running overnight. I also purchased one to heat a small greenhouse and it has been running for over 6 weeks without any problems.

It will run as long as you want it to, unless your system cuts it off after a certain amount of time.

Hold the OFF button until it shuts off. Wait 30 seconds and start it up again

I just timed mine and it takes a full minute before it times out. I've never felt that the time to power down was too short.

This unit shuts off, I mean loses power and restarts. Look elsewhere for something you can count on

I have used it 30 mins. at a time without decrease of power. Have had no need to try usage longer than that.

It's on a timer. It will run for about ten minutes, shut for for about forty and repeat that cycle two more times. Then it shuts itself off. I love mine!

I'm just using it for home use, so not sure what maximum would be. But I've run it continuously for 3 or 4 minutes.

Yes, you have a choice on how long to run this machine. As how long to leave it on, it is timer set so I think it goes up to an hour before it shuts off. I've had mine for sometime now and love it. Helps me so much with arthritis in my lower back.

I have never had any problems like this before. Although the instructions state to turn the unit off for 15-30 minutes before touching it.

Depends on how much power you are drawing. I have my desktop PC, monitor, router and cable modem on battery backup. All I want is time to save what I am working on and shut down properly. Around 10 minutes would be fine with me, but I haven't tried to test it.
