Not sufficient for my needs
on June 15, 2024
Posted by: Conna
This shredder only shreds about 10 pieces of paper (fed 1 or 2 at a time) before seeming to overhead. Actually, I think part of the problem is that the opening for feeding paper isn't adequate and allows the paper to feed to one side or the other - which quickly seems to jam (yellow/red light). I finally determined that I could clear the problem (carefully, safely) by disconnecting the machine and manually clearing the clog of paper in the shredder's teeth. It still has to cool in order to operate but that happens relatively quickly. I must say this is the worst shredder I've had (2 so far over the years).
Cons: Jam Resistance, overheats quickly
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

LX180 is an amazing surprise!
on September 2, 2021
Posted by: TIMSAB100
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Although I received this product free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review - this shredder from Fellows surpassed my expectations! And I really shouldn't be surprised, Fellowes makes some great products. The LX180 with Intellibar is a powerful shredder that's simple, easy to use, and fast. I"ve been personally using the shredder for over a month and am always pleased with its performance. I also like the slick contemporary design and easy-rolling wheels make it very convenient. I am confident that this shredder will last a long time based on it early performance.
Pros: Jam Resistance, Mess Reduction, Quality Construction, Quiet Operation, Safety Features, Secure Cut Size, Service Guarantee, Sheet Capacity, Shreds Credit Cards, Staples and CDs, Warranty, responsiveness

Quiet, Modern, Sleek
on August 23, 2021

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fellowes makes great shredders. This may be my favorite shredder for my home office of all time. It has a slender and attractive footprint for its bin capacity with gentle and modern lights that indicate when it is shredding. I also like the modern lines and gentle sounds it makes. For a workhorse of a machine, it is delightfully simple and safe. The peace of mind that comes with SafeSense that guards our fingers is worth it, especially for an item that can shred through credit cards and staples. My other favorite feature is the efficiency meter. This will indicate if you can add more sheets of paper to the mouth of the device! Brilliant. If you are looking for a hassle-free investment for your home office, that is efficient and functional plus easy on the eyes, this is definitely it.
Pros: Quiet Operation, Safety Features, Sheet Capacity, Warranty

Best for the price!
on August 17, 2021

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new Fellowes LX180 is by far the best shredder we have ever used! The new features make shredding a fast, quiet & efficient process. We especially like the way the shredder senses and displays phases of the shredding process with its system of colored lights and symbols. Cool! Plus it's jam proof, shreds staples & is so quiet that you can easily have a conversation in person or on the phone. (It would be nice to have a clear panel in the shredder bin, although, it really isn't necessary with the bin-full indicator.) Bottom line, it's the perfect shredder for our home business! I received this product free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

Well Designed
on August 11, 2021
Posted by: Kiffer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The LX180 is well designed and is easy to unpack and use. It is quieter than my other shredder which is nice when people are working side by side and someone needs to shred documents. I also like the sleek design of the machine. My only issue, if you can even call it that, is the feed direct buttons are hard to see initially because they are the same color as the shredder. Even with this cosmetic issue, the functionality of the machine is impressive and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a shedder to use in a home office. I received this product free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
Pros: Jam Resistance, Mess Reduction, Quality Construction, Quiet Operation, Safety Features, Service Guarantee, Sheet Capacity, Shreds Credit Cards, Staples and CDs

It’s a Beast!!
on August 11, 2021
Posted by: mommak
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The unit itself is very large. It shreds multiple sheets with ease. It is very quiet, much quieter than my old shredder. The auto stop feature is nice since I have 4 grandkids under the age of 7. It doesn’t take long after fingers are moved away for it to restart again.
Pros: Mess Reduction, Quiet Operation, Safety Features, Sheet Capacity, Shreds Credit Cards, Staples and CDs

LX180 Shredder exceeds expectations
on August 10, 2021
Posted by: Glee
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The LX180 was packed very well and easy to unbox. upon doing so, I was surprised that the hand slots had moved from the sides (vs 79Ci) to the front and back of the shredder. It seems a little unnatural, but not a deal breaker. The switch to turn on the shredder was also moved to the back of the unit. The top of the unit has a series of ICONS that are not highlighted brightly and difficult to read if you have some sight issues. When the machine is in operation, there is a bright light below the paper slot that indicates the machine is operating (green) blue when complete and it will turn red when the shredder needs to be emptied. This is a huge and improved change vs the 79Ci. I really love that the pullout bin closes without having to force it. It also seems to be a larger bin. When it came to actually shredding items, never once did the shredder hesitate or jam. I tried every type of paper and clips, etc without any failure. I like that the credit card flap was eliminated too. I shredded about 3 bins full and ran the machine constantly for about 20 minutes over several days. In addition, The noise level while shredding seemed to be lower. I would highly recommend the LX180 to anyone considering a new shredder. I have received this product free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
