This thing really rips. Best one I've owned. Gobbles up most mail without having to open it - even newsletters. Tears through CD, credit cards, etc.

This is a very reliable shredder. I brought this years ago I think before the Pandemic and it’s still works like brand new. And the Micro-cuts is a bonus. I just wish there was a way to put a garbage disposal bag inside of it to clean up the trash debris inside the canister.

Horrible design for the wheels. The plastic isn't nearly strong enough and I only kept the shredder under my desk and would wheel it out about 3 feet to do shredding. Otherwise a great shredder that quickly goes through lots of paper

No aguanta, ni 6 meses de uso moderado, y ya no funciona... sin soporte o garantia... no vale los $15,000 pesos pagados

I have owned several different shredders. My last one was a Fellowes. Since the thing lasted so many years, I decided on another Fellowes, though this one is an upgrade. Wow. I am fully impressed. The automatic document feed makes shredding large volumes easy. I am shredding so much more quickly than before. The microcut makes me feel more secure about the paper waste; no one will want to put these confetti back together.I haven't shredded credit cards, but I did put in paperclips (manual feed). Most of my statements came folded in envelopes and are not flat when unfolded. The automatic feed took care of them. When the bin is full, it tells me. I just pull it out and empty; the top does not need to be lifted. It ran for quite a long time before overheating. We just have to let it rest for half an hour and then it's ready to roll again.This was a great purchase. I would buy it again.

Very pleased with this shredder. The automatic sheet feeder is a real time saver. Had a minor issue with the shredder that was shipped and this was addressed promptly by Fellowes. Outstanding product support.

I like this shredder. When you have a lot of shredding to do the stack and walk away feature is the best. The auto feed feature should have been created years ago. It's really nice not having to manual feed a lot of files. One thing I do notice it does have a burning smell. I don't know if this is just because it is new or not. I will give it more time with testing. Even though it has a large bin to hold the shredding it does fill up fast. I like the fact that is shreds the paper to almost nothing. The one thing I wish it did do is shred label sheets or stickers. Sometimes junk mail has stickers etc. on the paper. Do to the cost of this pricey machine I would not want to ruin the machine for a lousy sticker or a label. The auto feed feature is great if you have paper that is NOT stapled together. It is quiet, but still loud enough to interfere with other tasks - such as listening to the news program, radio, talking on the phone. But if your not doing those things it won't matter. Would I recommend this to anyone? Yes, I would. It is not a monster machine, but it does the job for a very small office or to use in your home for personal use.

Update: I sent it back. After spending a couple of hours making little headway on my shredding, resulting in one almighty jam, I packaged it up and sent it on its way. This was unacceptable.Again, these were not huge, thick slabs of tough paper. I was trying to shred old financial statements in thin sheaves of probably 10 pages or less. I had treated myself by splurging on this more expensive shredder. I am very disappointed - it really didn't perform better than my old $100 shredder.I have ordered a $35 galvanized burn bin instead. I live in a rural area, so I will go back to the caveman approach.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Eh. It's OK. This is my fourth shredder in the last 20 years, so I have had my struggles. I really was hoping this would be as jam proof as it was claimed to be. The first bag or so of shredding was smooth. Starting on the second bag's worth it has been jamming about every 2-3 minutes. This is all standard stuff - old bank statements and the like that I have been meaning to get rid of, but did not because I hated my old shredder so much.So, it's back to old routine. Oil when needed, keep some needle nose pliers handy for pulling those jams out and generally baby it along.I really wish that companies would test their products in real world settings before advertising them. I'm guessing that their performance and "jam free" claims are based on feeding reams of pure white paper through, fresh from the box. Not wodges of old bank statements. And no, I did not overload it.So it's back to the love-hate relationship I have with shredders. This is better than my old one, but jam-free or leave-alone-to-do-it's-job? Nope. It barely crossed the threshold for me keeping vs returning it.(For background, I am an engineer.)
