Reviews around job (4.71 of 5)

  • Not used daily, but a solid shredder that does a great job!
  • This shredder does a great job but you have to slam the bin more than once to lock it into place.
  • BUT the fact that the drawer does not fit exactly which adds to an already messy job.
  • Heads up: the machine stops mid shred to access the thickness and then proceeds.this slows down the job.
  • This monster did the job!

Reviews around feature (4.52 of 5)

  • Works great, nice features, much quieter than the one it replaced!
  • A switch in the back is a nice safety feature, as well.

Reviews around thing (3.99 of 5)

  • It has never jammed, and I've done some horrible things to it.

  • Should be a larger container.the good thing about this shredder it hasn't jammed up like other shredders I've had
  • The good thing about this shredder and other so called brands and commercial shredders advertised is that in their manuals, they have a second compartment for shredding CDs/DVDs/credit cards

Reviews around gallon (1.87 of 5)

Reviews around bite (1.58 of 5)

  • It is a bit heavy and a chore to move around but works great at shredding.
  • A bit more pricey than I thought I should spend, but it works well and the run time vs cool off time is a good ratio with this shredder.
  • I find the paper bin sticks a bit going in and out, which slows down my process
  • My only complaint is that the casters were so difficult to put on that we cracked a little bit of the front facia panel (down low by the front casters) trying to put them on.
  • Could be a bit easier to return after cleaning

Reviews around tire (1.38 of 5)

  • Would highly recommend, specially if you are tired of cheap, messy shredders that jam all the time!Note: Some reviews spoke of issues with the wheels (i.e. hard to assemble and sometimes break)
  • That’s just right, too, for I’m tired of sitting by then, ready to walk around for awhile, smell my roses and admire the moss rose … or start lunch, drink a cup of coffee, relax
  • I was always tired of having to de-jam those cheap over-basket type cutters
  • I had one at work and was tired of burning out shredders at home.

Reviews around proof (1.33 of 5)

  • Their R&D people must have been hard at work during that period
  • Safety features are in place; it's practically fool proof.
  • It is quite, fast, jam proof and it has a smaller cut than my other shredder which wastaller , but the Fellowes holds more
  • I had searched and searched for a jam-proof machine, and I bought it based upon the reviews listed here on Amazon.
  • Its auto start feature makes it faster to shred large amounts...its jam proof features slow it down unless you pay attention to how thick a wad of paper or envelopes you try to do at once.

Reviews around switch (1.00 of 5)

  • In this case, I was able to isolate my problem - the little circular switch you see on the top.
  • Buy a different brand as this was a real "bait and switch" making it seem like the older version:(!
  • But finally, it got a mega jam that broke the sensor switch.
  • Paper dust ends up everywhere, including within the electronics, making the switches harder and harder to operate over time.
  • It is a nuisance but not enough lower the t star rating.

Reviews around kitchen (1.00 of 5)

  • We fill a 13 gallon kitchen trash bag each week with it
  • One other helpful hint - skip the bin bags and either use a plain tall kitchen garbage bag or, even better, just empty the bin contents directly into your recycling bin
  • I found that the bags are not very useful and they are clumsy; for me it is easier to use no bag and empty the full bin into a 30 gallon tall kitchen trash bag
  • It is a nuisance but not enough lower the t star rating.
  • I've failed on several occasions to successfully invert the shredder bin into the kitchen trash bag as the bin is a little awkward to handle.
