I previously owned a 15 year ood Fellow shredder. It was good so I bought another one when the old one started making a noise and not shredding completely. I have used the new one for a few weeks and I am totally satisfied. It shreds even better than the old one and does credit cards great. I am looking forward to many years using it.
Pros: Quiet Operation, Sheet Capacity, Quality Construction, Warranty, Shreds Credit Cards, Staples and CDs, Service Guarantee, Safety Features, Secure Cut Size, Jam Resistance, Mess Reduction, it was a good price
I would recommend this to a friend!

Jamming problems
on September 9, 2011
Posted by: Brenhamite
Your directions need to specify 4 - 6 sheets to avoid jamming. I put in more and had to use a knife to get it released. Now it is not sensitive to grabbing the paper I feed into it.
Pros: Safety Features, Secure Cut Size
Cons: Jam Resistance

I have two children and I just LOVE the lock mechanism so they cant easily turn it on and get hurt. It does not jam easily as long you do not try to shred more than whats indicated on the owner's manual and does not hot within minutes of use like other brands
Pros: Sheet Capacity, Quality Construction, Warranty, Shreds Credit Cards, Staples and CDs, Service Guarantee, Safety Features, Secure Cut Size, Jam Resistance, not heavy
Cons: Quiet Operation
I would recommend this to a friend!

Fine machine at a fair price

This is my first shredder, which I bought to destroy years of financial records. The machine is fast, efficient, easy to use, and much quieter than I expected. The extra safety switches are also a major benefit, allowing peace of mind. The waste bin is a little small for big jobs, but allows for easy storage in a one-bedroom apartment. The top, which must be removed to empty the bin, is a little heavy, but that is a minor problem easily overcome.
This machine is a good buy. I've had 2 inexpensive shreaders previously and neither performed as stated in their literature. This machine is the exception, it works well and if you empty the basket regularly you don't have jams. I've had one jam in six months and it was easily cleared.
