As advertised

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First a disclaimer: I received this product free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. Fellowes was nice enough to offer this free shredder even though my existing Fellowes 8C shredder was working perfectly well. Quite frankly I like my new shredder better. It has a greater capacity, can shred 11 as opposed to 8 sheets at a time, and has a much larger viewing area to monitor when the shredder needs to be emptied. I have been able, despite a hurricane, to test out the new shredder sufficiently to note that it has not jammed, failed to do what it was supposed to according to the brochure, and has been thus far reliable. Will it continue to do so in the future? Time will tell. My old Fellowes has performed quite well and has been trouble free. I have applied Fellowes Performance Oil regularly and will continue to do so with the new shredder. A well maintained machine should last and this shredder should not be an exception. I would recommend this product.
Pros: Jam Resistance, Safety Features, Sheet Capacity, Shreds Credit Cards, Staples and CDs, Warranty
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent shredder!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. However, this is my second Fellowes shredder because I specifically only buy Fellowes brand, due to their durability. I absolutely love this one because it's so quiet compared to my last one. I also like that it has a bigger container to hold more before dumping. I definitely would recommend this shredder to anyone!
Pros: Quality Construction, Quiet Operation, Shreds Credit Cards, Staples and CDs, Warranty
Cons: none
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Shredder!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. This is really a great machine. It meets my needs in a variety of ways. As far as looks, it's sleek, sophisticated, and I'd call it more of an office accessory, rather than a machine, in appearance. Would fit in with any decor and not be a hideous thing to have to look at. As far as features, I really like the safety lock. It's great for households with children and/or pets that could be injured. I like the cross cut shredding, for extra security, and I like the big receptacle for the shreds. It holds a lot for a small machine. It has a long shredding time of 5 minutes, and has a cool down period in order to avoid overheating, which is another great safety feature. It's a well designed, well thought out piece of office equipment that I've really appreciated using, to help keep my family and identity safe from those who go through other people's trash. If I have to have one complaint, I'd say it's a bit more noisy than the advertised "Quiet Operation". It's not quiet to me, but none of these machines can really be anywhere near silent because they need to chew up papers! It's also great at shredding old credit cards, and the accidental paper clips and staples I forgot to remove prior to shredding. The lift off top is easy to remove and clean. I very nighly recommend this product for home office needs.
Pros: Jam Resistance, Mess Reduction, Quality Construction, Safety Features, Secure Cut Size, Service Guarantee, Sheet Capacity, Shreds Credit Cards, Staples and CDs, Warranty
Cons: Quality Construction, Quiet Operation

Great quality shredder
on September 27, 2022
Posted by: LLMC
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review so here it is. I have had two other shredders in the past, one made by Fellowes and prior to that one, another brand. This one is by far the best I've had. This is also the first cross cut shredder I've had. I have put thick, card stock type mail through it and thin, flimsy paper and it works perfectly with no signs of bogging down. This is a great quality shredder for home personal use!!
Pros: Quality Construction, Safety Features, Secure Cut Size

Product was received broken
on September 27, 2022
Posted by: Dynomike
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received my shredder and started setting it up. Inside the box was a small piece of black plastic. I discovered that when the shredder wouldn’t turn on, that this was a piece of the paper bin that acts as a “safety switch” so that the shredder can turn on when properly put together. I am disappointed because I got this shredder free for testing and reviewing their new model and now I can’t use it. I received this product in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
Pros: was excited to try a new shedder
Cons: received not working
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shredder is perfect for home or small office use, when you have periodic need to shred small amounts of documents. If you need high-speed shredding or have a large stack of documents, you won't be able to do it with this shredder. At least, not all at once. This is a confetti-cut shredder, and the pieces are small enough for the shredding of sensitive documents that you'd have around the home. It's not too loud, and shreds quickly enough. For me, it's exactly what I was looking for, and will suit the needs of my home office perfectly.
Pros: Jam Resistance, Mess Reduction, Quality Construction, Safety Features, Secure Cut Size, Sheet Capacity, Shreds Credit Cards, Staples and CDs
Cons: Quiet Operation

Fantastic shredder for small business offices
on September 26, 2022
Posted by: MikeLCSW
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shredder does a great job shredding larger amounts of paper. It is thin lined and fits well under my desk, easy to use. I have not had any paper jams or issues. One of the things I love the most about this is how much quieter than the previous Fellowes shredders I have used. I would highly recommend this product for anyone looking to shred papers in a smaller business office. I recieved this product free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
Pros: Mess Reduction, Quality Construction, Quiet Operation, Safety Features, Secure Cut Size, Service Guarantee, Sheet Capacity, Shreds Credit Cards, Staples and CDs

LX70 Early usage opinion
on September 25, 2022
Posted by: JimboPA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] "I received this product free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review" I use this to shred previous financial records, so use can be 5 minutes or more. After approx. 100 sheets, this shredder performs a bit better than the C9 model purchased in March. The LX70 appears to jam less if a sheet is inserted slightly crooked (easy to do on the previous machine). The shredder blades are a different design, and the switch that starts is slightly deeper in the insertion throat giving one a better chance of feeding the pages straight. Time will tell if this model is superior with higher volume and longer continuous run time.
Pros: Jam Resistance, Quiet Operation, Safety Features
Cons: Mess Reduction
I would recommend this to a friend!
