Buyer's feedback: - * Tiny pieces and reliable so far ...
I've only had the Fellowes for a short while. So far I've filled one bag. The shredder I had before was a cross-cut fine shredder, but not this fine. This one produces very small pieces. And it's easy to see how full the bag is. Also, you can store the bags inside the shredder. And it's quiet! No jamming whatsoever, which was always a problem with my first shredder, even though it was not that heavily used.

I haven't had to oil it yet. Not sure how to know when, but it comes with a small manual that tells you everything.

It does cut credit cards too, but not as fine as it cuts paper. It shreds them into strips, so if you put the card in sideways you could end up with a strip that shows your whole number. The credit cards fall into a separate bin, so you can easily cut them a bit more if needed. It's way easier than doing the whole job with scissors.

It's taller than my first shredder, but it still fits under a normal table. And it's on wheels. Won't roll that well on a rug but rolls fine on a hard floor.

I have yet to know how it will work out long-term, but so far I am quite pleased.

Buyer's feedback: - Real Confetti, Quiet and Clean
This is the only shredder I have had that works as advertised. The confetti is really small, CSI would not be able to reconstruct anything shredded in this thing. I have small children and could run the shredder all night with out fear of waking them. It's been a month and no jams. The catch basin doesn't spill all over, it's not perfect but the best I have seen. The auto stop feature for fingers really does work, great piece of mind for parents.

An important note, do not use the CC/CD/DVD shred slot for paper. The space below the CC/CD/DVD is not designed to allow paper to fall away from the blades and will jam up the device. The slot for CC/CD/DVD's shereds perfectly and the paper slot shreds perfectly but they are not interchangable. I don't see this as a draw back, each slot does exactly what is is designed to do and does it well.

It's expensive but, if you need security for sensitive personal information this is the right tool for the home office.

Buyer's feedback: - * DOA ...
Plugged in, nothing happened, not even a beep or flash of light. FYI, I saw a demo at Ofc Max, this thing is really truly quiet. If you get it, plug it in right away and test it.

Buyer's feedback: - The Best Shredder
This shredder is definitely one of my better purchases. It's quiet, easy to use, sturdy, portable, and cuts the paper so small I feel a high degree of confidence and security that the remaining particles could not possibly be used by anyone.

Buyer's feedback: - * Great Shredder ...
Before purchasing this shredder I looked at several other models and brands. This is by far the best product I have found in this price range. I like all of its features but especially the shutdown/high temperature feature with the red warning light. This allows the unit sufficient cooling time between big job runs. Remember to always oil the cutters every time you empty the cuttings to extend the life of your unit. I would highly recommend this unit for both home and business office use.
