5 out of 5 stars Who knew shredding could be so easy?   July 30, 2008

We are the typical house which receives mailings everyday that need to be shred. With this product we have not had to wait for a shredder to cool down or be unclogged by hand for the 4 months that we have owned it. I am continuously impressed with how the product easily stands up to continuous use for large or little amounts of paper. The size of the shredder stands almost as tall as my desk. Good thing it is pretty stylish and can stand on the floor alone. As far as noise goes, it is far less the previous 5 shredders we have had over the last two years. I would recommend this shredder.

Got tired of shredding every individual sheet of paper received in the mail. No problems now! It chomps through multi-layers. Saves me time and frustration. I am very happy with this machine, it does what it said it would do. I'm happy!


3 out of 5 stars Fellowes Shredders have saftey issues with Auto Feed Sensors   July 10, 2008

I have owned one other Fellows shredder I bought at Costco. The shredder shred paper just fine and as advertised, but the Auto Feed Sensor malfunctioned and quit working entirely.
At first on my older model, it was possible to clean the sensor following Fellows instructions, Q-tip with rubbing alcohol, but it finally just stopped working all together, an electronic failure in the circuitry is my best guess.
I purchased this newer Fellowes Power Shredder because I feel having a non-working safety sensor is bad for kid and pets. But only after about 1-month of occasional shredding the sensor started getting flakey and completely stopped working. I noticed the shredder would turn itself on when I would turn on my microwave which shares a power strip with it which I thought was very strange. I don't have electrical problems in my home and my best guess is that these Fellowes Auto Feed Sensors are not designed well at all as many, many people complain about them breaking.
Yes cleaning them does work...for a while but they have a very nasty habit of just failing after some time, but with the Fellows Power Shredder it just broke, cleaning made not difference.
Mine is new enough I could return it under warranty for a replacement, BUT having to pack it up an pay for shipping the heavy item is just not work the hassle.
Fellows shredder from my experience are solid well working machines with the exception that the buyer should be aware of this safety issue and expect them to become MANUAL type shredders sooner or later.

I use the shredder every day to securely get rid of personal information that comes in the daily mail. It makes me feel good inside every time I use it. Just an other small precaution we should use these days.

The unit works perfectly.

I finally went out and bought a decent paper shredder after having one that only did five sheets at a time and was flimsy and top-heavy. Fellowes has an excellent reputation and I am glad I spent the money on this very cool shredder. It is a heavy duty machine and even though it says it will take up to 17 pages, I have fed it more (granted, it goes a little slower but gets the job done). No more waiting forever. Entire envelopes full of bank statements just zip right through the entry. The safety feature allows the machine to shut off when the entry area is touched. Unlike my old shredder that did long cuts of shredding, this shredder crosscuts the paper into tiny pieces which compacts easily. Plus having 10-gallon container means less garbage bags (my old shredder was a 5-gallon and filled up quickly). I also burn a lot of CD's (with mistakes) and this device just grinds them up (never break a CD with your hands - they splinter into tiny fragments). You also can stop worrying about a jam with thick staples. This model will notify you when it jams and I have only had that happen few times when I really tried to push it. The built in casters make for easy moving around and the whole unit is attractive. Also the idea of a seven-year warrantee is a good guarantee that you have a quality product. Like I said, Fellowes has a great reputation.
