Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

It shreds quietly and quickly and is easy to slide around. Very fine slice-and-dicer for all of your paper needs.

The fellows, 20 sheet, cross-cut paper shredder makes sure that your identity remains secret. It shreds well and handles credit cards, etc with ease. This is perfect to use for shredding confidential documents.

While it's somewhat trickier/messier, i empty the bin into paper bags for recycling. I like to empty it when i am not too busy, sometimes when it is only halfway full. The bin is pretty large and can be easily removed to dump the shredded papers out.

It happily munches through the metal and plastic. The caster rollers make it easy to move around. Wheels are a little tricky to roll on carpeting.

The fellowes powershred lx12c shredder works well. Green light is shredding, blue light is on and ready.



Cons

The cra* is a total joke. The clunker is hauled all over the place, only to be returned and possibly dumped. Paper bits clog up the sensor, and the machine thinks the tray is full, when it's actually close to empty.

I have a "household" shredder that can handle a couple sheets at a time, but last time i tried to go through a stack of paperwo...  Read More

Price


For our needs, this is a great deal even with the fairly high price tag.


I am on my millionth shredder and i have never forked over the cash for a fellows shredder.


It is expensive, and i would have gone with a cheaper model if it weren't for the amazon vine program.


That being said, it is worth the price, and i would not trade it for a cheaper model, now that i have gotten used to it.

Shipping


Unfortunately, our shredder was accidentally delivered to the wrong house, and we were unable to locate our packages for that d...  Read More

Packaging/appearance

I've already emptied out two small boxes of old paperwork, and have only just emptied the bin.


And you can pack a lot more into the trash bag than with traditional shredded material.


Unpacking was easy and there isn't much in the area of setup.

Competitiveness


Wherever my first machine ended up, i’m sure somebody is enjoying it too, (apparently 😠), but that was such a loss that day, i ...  Read More


This shredder is replacing a basic shredder of a different brand that was constantly overheating.


I was surprised just how silent it is in comparison to my old fellowes one i used to use and the commercial one at work.


If you shred a fair amount, as we do, you need something more than the typical office store shredder.

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
