I returned it because it was too much work to put together and was cheaply made. Very disappointed.

Failed in less than a year
It worked great until it didn't. Didn't even last a year. So disappointing.

Thank you for the great rating, RCuadras! We want to mention that while the 12C is designed to shred plastic credit cards, it is not designed to shred CDs. If you have any questions, please give us a call! Thank you for choosing Fellowes!

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. When that happened, I turned to Staples as I knew the outcome would be very different. The Fellows Powershred was on sale, and I had racked up a bunch of points, so the price ended up being very reasonable. I use this at home, and don't sh...

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.

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

Needs more shredding power
Nice printer EZ setup looks good. But I’m a bit underwhelmed by the destructive power. It bogs down on big envelopes filled with paper. I’m afraid to do a credit card. Routine one to door or five sheet spreading is fine BUT .. it could be faster. It’s kind of slow. But I had a great purchasing experience at Staples. Friendly manager and the other employees as well.

Response from Staples :
Hi Robert. Thank you for sharing your experience! Please make sure you check the contents of the envelope to ensure the folded documents are not exceeding the sheet capacity. for example one letter size document folded twice with the envelope is 5 sheet thickness. This can add up quickly. In addition ensure there are no adhesive labels in the envelope. Lastly we do not recommend shredding envelopes with plastic windows. Additionally please note the oiling recommendation. The blades should be oiled with Fellowes shredder oil every time the basket is emptied. This maximizes performance and extends shredder life. If you have any questions please reach out to customer service. We are here to assist you!
