I used it for for a few minutes and it stopped working
on September 13, 2020
Posted by: StuckInFlorida
I bought the 11C cross shredder yesterday. Today, I started shredding old mail, not continuously but every few minutes for a few seconds. Suddenly it stopped working. I thought it was the auto shutoff for the 30 minute cooldown but NO. A few hours later I plugged it back in to do some more shredding, still no shred. It would not even spin. However, the reverse DOES work, which is nice, but it does not shred in reverse.
Cons: Jam Resistance, Service Guarantee, Warranty
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

My Fellowes review
on September 13, 2020
Posted by: Uranus
I just purchased this shredder and have no idea how well it preforms. I hate buying products made in China but all shredders are made in China these days. I bought Fellowes because it's a brand name and summited this review to enter $500.00 sweepstakes. If it turns out to be a POS I'll submit an amended review.
Pros: Warranty
Cons: Warranty

I have bought Fellowes brand shredders before and so when I bought one recently, it was damaged in shipment, or so I believed. It worked a couple of times and quit. I followed everything to a T not running as many sheets as it was capable or even running more than 2 min because there was no need to hurry. I returned the first and ordered a second and this one did not work as long. It quit on me within 1 minute of operation. I am thoroughly disappointed. I did not shred more than 5 sheets at a time and I cannot believe it quit!
Pros: Safety Features, Secure Cut Size
Cons: Quality Construction, Quiet Operation, Sheet Capacity
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

All In The Family

The Fellowes shredder I purchased in the past is still reliable and a heavy duty work horse. I believe I owned that smaller model for 17 years. It survived my home-based business of medical transcription service quite well. After retiring from that in 2017, my Fellowes shredder got "hijacked" by my mother. I decided to let her keep it and buy another for myself. Still an avid organizer of "paper chaos" within my home and office, I decided upon a slightly larger model with a higher sheet capacity. I'm sure it will see every day use. I'll put a lock on this one. Haha.
Pros: Quality Construction, Quiet Operation, Safety Features
I would recommend this to a friend!

Haha! How nice of you to allow your mother to keep the hijacked shredder, Samwise! Thank you for your continued support and great recommendation!

Very powerful
on June 4, 2020
Posted by: Tbooty
This is a great shredder but I was disappointed to find that when I opened the box and used it for the first time, it had been a return. It was jammed up so badly it wouldn’t receive paper, I made a decision that’s instead of driving many miles back to return it, I would try to see what was happening with it so I took the head off and cleaned out all the paper that was stuck, an hour later after picking paper out with tweezers, it now works great and is so powerful, it is flawless. (This was not the fault of FELLOWES) I’m just not sure how a return got placed back in the shelf, but all is good and it’s a great shredder!
Pros: Mess Reduction, Quality Construction, Safety Features, Secure Cut Size, Service Guarantee, Sheet Capacity, Shreds Credit Cards, Staples and CDs, Warranty
Cons: Jam Resistance

Wow...thank you for sharing your experience Tbooty! We are sorry this happened to you, but relieved you were able to remove the jam successfully. You may want to make sure you oil the blades with shredder lubricant (i.e. Fellowes #35250). All cross-cut shredders require oil for peak performance. If not oiled, a machine may experience diminished sheet capacity, intrusive noise when shredding, jamming, and could ultimately stop running. To avoid these problems, we recommend you oil your shredder each time you empty your waste bin. Again, thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We appreciate the five stars!
