Fellowes Shredder is Great!
This was an upgrade for us. It is very quiet and the micro-cut insures security and doesn't seem to bunch up when shredding. Definitely worth the extra cost but we also shred daily.

Good printer-Bags are a problem
The printer works as advertised: quieter than my last one handles more pieces of paper and I like how I can just add the paper in the slot without pressing a button to start. BUT....keeping the shredder bag in place to capture the shredded pieces is frustrating and would have been enough to research a good shredder with ease in placing and changing the bag! With this...

Great!
I have been using paper shredders for over 20 years. The first I had was cheap and lasted about 10 years. I have had several since then that didn't shred as much as they said it would and they didn't last long. I finally decided to get a more expensive one and I am extremely glad I did. It really does do 20 sheets and is fast. It's only been 1 month but so far I'm rea...

Fellows SHREDDER
This shredder is wonderful. It gobbles up bunches of paper and does it quietly. My husband always said you get what you pay for and I think this shredder is worth every Penney.

Fellows LX220 20 Sheet Shredder
Just exceptional! This is my third Fellows shredder and it was the top rated shredder for personal use on Consumer Reports. My previous shredders simply worn down after several years this one seems to be far more durable.

GREAT SHEDDER
I love the micro shed. Tough enough to do up to 20 sheets of paper junk mail credit cards. Even a metal ruler (which a teenager wanted to see if it would shed). Reason I gave a 4 rating is shedder casing box is molded as (one piece). When vaumuming I hit the wheel too hard which cracked casing

Design Flaw - Returned NEW out of box
Unit has sleek appealing contemporary design and unique cutting feature however the waste basket handle is recessed and while supported with screws the handle WILL separate from the plastic housing during normal basket removal. I called Fellowes Direct and made them aware of design flaw (which obviously has not been addressed by design team) because they could not offe...

Not Fabulous
This shredder is quiet and provides a nice small cut. It has a large bin but it's like the shredder was not made to accommodate bags. The shredder bags have no where to hang. You can't store the box neatly in the bottom and we've experienced issues with the paper shred to be running down in the bin outside of the bag.

This shredder does an excellent job of cutting paper into tiny bits. Can only put in a few pieces at a time. So far so good.

Great shredder
Love this shredder. It’s quiet and shreds everything very small. I wanted a shredder that kept my sensitive information was safe. I love that it has a large bin so that I don’t have to empty a lot.

LOVE MY SHREDDER!
I purchased this shredder for an extremely busy small business accounting office over a year ago and I have yet to notice anything to complain about. This is a tough machine! It's able to handle all of our shredding (sometimes it sounds a little mad if we add too many papers at a time), but it has never jammed! This shredder plows through staples and credit cards (we sh...

Micro Cut Shredder
Runs very quiet. Shreds to very small pieces. We keep ours under a desk and access to the slot to shred isn’t very easy. But having wheels on it makes that a mute point as it easily rolls in and out. Definitely recommend.

Quiet confetti maker
I can't believe it shreds so many sheets at a time! Not only shreds, but turns it into confetti - and so quietly.
The only complaint I have is for a stack of paper you have to stand there and insert them, with no way to auto shred. Perhaps that feature is in a higher end Fellowes shredder.
