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.

replacement
This is my third Fellowes i think the last ones was 15 years old. Very reliable and easy to use. Oil once in a while and will last a long time.

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!

cross cut shredder
This is new as of this writing and has not gotten a lot of use yet. I like the fact it has casters and it's not too noisy when in operation. The basket is a generous size. I was happy to receive prompt attention and the purchase went smoothly.

Not quite as strong as my last fellowes shredder.
This shredder is not quite as strong as my last Fellowes shredder. It tends to accumulate more shreds at the outlet which is not good. It seems to bog down when only 3 or 4sheets at a time.

So far so good. But I haven't really used it all that much. I've only shredded about 60 pages of paper. One thing that I would say is that the part of the unit that is under the heavier shredder seems to be very flimsy and you have to be very careful when taking out the shredded paper and putting everything back together.

Working well...so far!
Just got my shredder yesterday to replace another brand shredder. Chose Fellowes because of their credibility in the business sector. I am retired now but used their products previously. So far I shredded about 200 pieces of paper. It took about 10-15 minutes give or take.. I was hesitant to try doing 12 pages at a time because when I did 8 pages it started to kind of d...

Flimsy base hard to set up
Much flimsier thin plastic base and pull out bin. Very difficult to snap the top onto the base (badly cut my finger and needed to return to store to have them snap the top on the base. Now seems to work OK but have only done a trial shred.
