We wanted to see how many pages could be shredded once. So, we shredded the maximum amount of pages before the shredders jammed.

We tested these products by putting ice cubes in them then placing the submerged ice cubes into a freezer to see how effective they were at melting the ice.

A thicker layer of ice requires some manual labor, so we tested the latest ice scrapers. We did this by freezing water to the bottom of the pan and then scraping that ice off with the ice scrapers we were testing.

We could not jam it. We stuck 24 pieces of paper into the mouth and it was still able to handle that, without jamming.
