This shredder is great! Much better than the one I replaced it with, shreds effortlessly! Used it for 3 hours continuously and it never overheated and never jammed.

It gathered shredding at teeth, blocking insertion of new paper. Had to return.

I’ve only used my shredder a couple times. It has done a great job doing what it’s supposed to do.
I use this in my home office.

Fellowes 12C Shredder
Our old shredder lasted for years and it looks like this one will do the same. It has larger capacity both with the number of sheets that it will shred and the container to hold the shredded material. It's also easier to empty.

A Great Shredder
I had an cheaply made shredder that I purchased from a very well-known online retailer. It lasted less than six months and died.

Personal shredder
My business Fellowes shredder died last week. Since retiring I do not need a business shredder. This model does same type shredding with less pages. It is quiet and easy to remove bin to empty. I got a great deal at Staples as well.

Great Home Shredder
The Fellowes 12C Shredder serves my purposes well. It shreds efficiently. Functions as designed too. I have not encountered any issues with this product. Hopefully, it will last me nearly a decade like its predecessor did.

Works great. It shreds several pieces at a time. It will also go through those credit card applications without having to open them.
