I just go the shredder in last week and it is working fine so far. I recently had a Fellows that was over 18 years old and finally started acting up. that is why I decided to spend a little more than the usual shredder and buy another Fellows Shredder. I like that it shreds into smaller pieces. I would recommend purchasing this shredder for movability and ease of use. I like that it also has an automatic feeder option.
Just started using it. So far I like it. This one is extremely quiet which is a plus. On a side note I will have to find another way to get rid of gummed return address labels that fill my mailbox. Labels “gummed up” my last shredder which is what caused the replacement.
The shredder is excellent. The convenience of the feeder is awesome. The owners manual is awful. Just awful. It refers to mounting the collection bags on the bag clips. Huh? Where? I can't find them. The images are no help at all.
the bucket is bigger than what staples advertised 2 the box came in it said it was heavy duty use so staples mislead the specs worth as a replacement worth buying thank you staples/tru red for my replacement its awesome the warranty does help in long run
This is a good shredder but not as good as I was anticipating from the description of shredding 150 pages. Yes the document shredder tray holds 150 pages and then feeds them into the shredder one page at a time. That takes about 11 - 14 minutes to shred 150 pages. After 45 minutes of shredding the shredder needs 40+ minutes to cool down. That is about 750 pages in two hours. The shredder actually shreds more pages per hour by manually inserting 8 - 10 pages at a time. The shredder can handle 8 - 10 pages manually at the same speed it document feeds one page at a time. The best solution is to get two shredders and manually feed them both at the same time. P.S. Have big trash bags handy because the cross cut shredder does an excellent job of keeping things confidential by creating small fluffy particles. The bin needs to be emptied somewhere between 250 and 350 pages. Maybe the next version will document feed three to four pages at a time with a larger trash bin for a strategic advantage. The shredder is a good shredder for the price. Just don't expect the document feeder to shred a handful of 40 pages in less than a minute.
I bought this unit because the smaller one that I had just kept jamming as I put large amounts of a paper through it. This unit is expensive but worth it truly a work horse of a shredder!
