Pros & Cons
Pros
The fellowes automax 100ma micro-cut paper shredder is a powerful and efficient device that meets the shredding needs of both home and small office environments. With its 100-sheet capacity and micro-cut technology, it ensures secure and quick shreddi... Read More

The shredder has a paper feeder so you can put a stack of paper in it and let the shredder go to work without babysitting it. The auto-feed tray allows you to load up to 100 sheets of paper, saving you time and effort.
Built-in jamguard system with an auto-reverse feature ensures smooth operation. The spacious 7-gallon pull-out bin allows for ample shredding before requiring emptying. The motor is a bit more hefty to allow for its awesomeness.
Cons
Tried inserting sever pieces of paper - motor never worked, light never changes. Flimsy plastic bucket to support an overly heavy shredder. High maintenance. In spite of the oiling, the machine consistently heats up after 1.
Highlights
Quality
The shredding process is quick and efficient, effortlessly handling stacks of paper without any paper jams.
The build quality seems very good and i expect it will last for quite a long time.
The micro-cut technology ensures maximum security, transforming documents into tiny particles that are virtually impossible to reconstruct.
The instructions do say to maximize consistent efficiency it’s best to oil this shredder every time you empty the bin.
Price
Really a great machine, for any price.
The one thing i wish this shredder included for the price is a little bottle of oil to help ensure this shredders longevity.
I had really expensive ones (over $700) from aurora which turned out to be awful jamming constantly and the autofeeder didn't work.
It is pricey, but you get what you pay for.
Packaging/appearance
Upon receiving the shredder, i was pleased with the sturdy packaging that ensured its safe delivery.
The unpacking process was straightforward, and the included user manual provided clear instructions for setup.
I just pulled it out of the box, looked at the setup, and plugged it in.
Arrived with a rattling sound inside the head, but seems to be working alright right now.
Competitiveness
This is the third shredder i bought after returning two other cheaper shredders.
Some competitors include a starter pack of these liner bags.
Some competitors will include a starter pack of shredder lubricating sheets.

Could have had a stronger motor but does the job for me

I got this shredder to replace my old one that failed after many years and lots of shredding
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
This shredder has a p4 security rating which means that it does a good job of making it difficult to reconstruct a document that has been destroyed
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
That said my old now dead shredder cut the sheets into much smaller pieces that were virtually unrecognizable
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
However the pieces produced by this one are a bit bigger and i can still see some information after a sheet is destroyed
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Once there are a bunch of sheets that have been destroyed and comixed it would certainly be a challenge to reconstruct the pieces produced by this shredder but if i was super concerned about the security of the information postdestruction i’d opt for a shredder with a higher “p” rating
