Good Bang For the Buck April 27, 2008
My old shredder broke and I sure don't miss it!!!
This baby purrs through several sheets of paper with ease. The basket is easy to empty and to see when it's full. The shipping package was very easy to deal with and there was no assembly at all.
This is an excellent for home use and is a far cry from my older similarly priced shredder. Highly recommended for home use!!
 Didn't Work April 23, 2008
The shredder arrived and it didn't work at all and we had to send it back. We went to a local office supply company and bought another brand and it worked just fine.
I Would Buy Again... April 15, 2008
This is a very good shredder for the $
Noisy, but I think you need to spend a lot more money for a quiet machine!
A very capable shredder April 7, 2008
Bought this to replace a cheap-o ($30) shredder that we had been using for about 2 years. The wife fed one too many spam credit card offers through the old one and it clogged. I took it to bits and cleared the jam, but couldn't get it to fit quite back together again, so I had to junk it.
This Fellowes one is pretty heavy duty. Hardly slows down when mangling four or 5 sheets at once. it is quite large, and the inverted cone shape takes a bit of getting used to. I use this in a home office environment.
I'm not sure how effective the auto-shut off would be in an emergency, because the cutters, motor and gears have some inertia and it takes them a second or two to come to a complete stop. Perhaps they would stop quicker with the load of a finger or two in there, but I still think there would be some injury. Another worry is that the shut-off doesn't latch - the instant you stop touching it, the motor starts again. There ought to be a delay really.
The bin is quite large, but if you let it fill right to the top, you're not going to get it out without spilling confetti all over your carpet. Some of the confetti ends up in the bottom of the shredder, so that needs vacuuming out occasionally. The basket just sits in the shredder, so it can be knocked out of place easily by a carelessly placed foot or an inquisitive child. If it is not installed in the correct position, the shredder doesn't run.
Looks good but ??? April 7, 2008
It worked great---for about 2 weeks. It stopped working but after unplugging and pushing its button, it started working again after I repowered it. This lasted for about 10 days before it totally died. I called Fellows and they said it was the printed circuit board. I called Amazon and they replaced it because I had the shredder for less than a month. So far it is working!
