Review: Many years later - it's working great! - It's 2026 and I'm still using this product. Great product. You do need to ensure it's properly sitting on its base to work properly.
Review: Good product.... - Update 12/21… OK last update gushing over this shredder! Hubby tried to shred two thick credit cards at once and jammed the machine. I had to pry from the inside and take a plyiers to the cards and rip it out the top. The machine wasn’t working or making any noise due to the jam but the minute I got the cards free and turned it back on it went right back to the job it was designed to do! I’ve given this machine a bit of a beating and each time it performs as it should. I would highly recommend this purchase!! update: April 2021...was just loving my shredder still until I put too many bank carbons in it and it jammed. I had to tug and pull and cut at paper to get out. I managed to release the jam. shredded a couple more papers and now two days later it wont even turn on??? I really love this shredder and I did jam it. Not sure if there was a proper jam but now it doesn't work??? After I have hubby check it out I may up buying again and then being more careful. I'm going to give it 4 stars because I've only had it for 2 days. The true test to me is over time. So far I'm impressed, has lots of power, feeds quite a few sheets and feeds them quickly. The reviews about the top being very heavy are correct but I can deal with that and It is loud but it's only something you use every so often that it's not a big deal to me either. So far I would recommend I'm hoping it lasts a good long time. Had it for about a month now. Shredded a big bin of stuff easily. Very powerful. Would buy it again! 9/19...a great shredder still glad I purchased it! UPDATE: love it... It has been a year now this thing is going full speed ahead and I loved it would highly recommend. 10/21…it is still going strong, love it! I had a few jams I thought we’re close calls but managed through them, as I was reading my rambling messages above! Great by, highly recommend.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fellowes is still my go-to shredder
*by M***J on June 23, 2019*

I had my previous Fellowes crosscut shredder for over 15 years before it started choking and couldn’t handle what I fed it. Maybe I should have lubed it more often. I did a post mortem and found compressed shredded paper stuck way inside the cutting wheels that I couldn’t get to until after I took it apart. I think that put too much strain on the shredding motor and it stopped working. Overall I was satisfied enough that I turned to Fellowes once again for my new one. This is pretty much the same size (about knee high) though the control placement is different. It has the normal forward/off/reverse positions and a separate lock/unlock switch. At first I wasn’t too keen on it but after having it for a few weeks, I’ve come to like it. It sounds considerably louder than my old one. I wouldn’t advise doing any late night shredding. That’s my biggest complaint. Even though it’s louder, it eats paper quickly, has a folding handle that makes it easy to remove the top, and there’s an opening along the top front edge where I can insert small trash that doesn't need shredding and also functions as a viewer to see how full the bin is. I wish that there were handles on the sides of the basket itself so that I could pick up the entire unit easily. Since the shredder is so top-heavy, I have to tilt the basket to one side so that I can place one of my hands on the bottom to pick it up. I don’t test the 11-page advertised capacity. I usually do maybe 4 to 5 sheets at a time and the ever-present junk mail. For thicker junk mail, I open it, split in half and the shredder handles it just fine. As for credit cards, I find that it eats the older plastic ones with no problem but I now have these titanium cards where I need a sheet metal cutter to get through them. There is no way that this shredder will eat that. As personal shredder I think this is great and I would easily buy it again. It’s not an office workhorse so one should not expect that. Don’t overwork it and lube it regularly and it should work well for years to come. If you’re doing a lot of shredding pay attention to how hot is and if it’s very hot give it a break and come back after it has cooled down.
