Richard Sicurella -- MY FELLOWES SHREDDER

I researched this item on a few different online shopping sites and I agree with most of the comments. It is good for light use (although the first thing I did was shred two 30 gallon garbage bags full of stuff to purge lots of old documents). It powered through all of that with only one jam, and that was with more than the number of rated pages (10-12?). It is not as loud as I thought it would be, but I won't be running it inside while the kids are sleeping. I also like that it effectively has two on/off switches (one on the top for forward/reverse/off) and a standard on/off switch on the side. This, combined with the other safety features are great if you want an extra layer bit of protection if small kids are wandering around the house.

Totally great for the price. Definitely recommend it. -- Great light-use shredder, good price

We've only used this shredder a few times but the first time was to catch up on the pile of old bills waiting to be shredded since the old one burned out. It was also a Fellowes and lasted several years. I read a lot of reviews and compared prices of different brands. Things have changed! We chose this one because we felt like it was a good price for the capacity. Our old one was only a 5 page shredder so it's a step up.

The automatic feed feature is great. Our old one did not have that so the motor ran until you turned it off. That really helps extend shred time before it has to "rest". This lid is also much easier to lift off and you can tilt it back to push the contents down.

It seems every review I read talked about shredders not taking the page capacity stated. Paper comes in so many weights that's going to vary. The important thing is how easy they unjam. This one clears quickly every time by using reverse. We use the oil as recommended too. If something does happen, I feel I can count on customer service based on other reviews. -- Great so far
