Handles 99% of my Home Office Needs
I’ve used Fellowes brand shredders before at my work and currently have a Fellowes Powershred 79Ci for my home office. I obtained the LX180 for testing purposes and ran it through some vigorous shredding. I must say it performed just as well if not slightly better than my slightly more expensive 79Ci shredder. The first thing you notice about the LX180 is it has a nice ...

Not sufficient for my needs
This shredder only shreds about 10 pieces of paper (fed 1 or 2 at a time) before seeming to overhead. Actually, I think part of the problem is that the opening for feeding paper isn't adequate and allows the paper to feed to one side or the other - which quickly seems to jam (yellow/red light). I finally determined that I could clear the problem (carefully, safely) by d...

Disappointing
It does shred well but the small bin is a nuisance, the bag sticks out of the front of the drawer, and you still need to unclog the shredders w your fingers.

Response from Fellowes Expert :
Hi Leslie. We are sorry the unit is jamming. It should not be necessary for you to have to continually remove shreds from the cutters. Please call customer service for assistance and have the unit with you when you call. We are here to help!

Not what I expected
The Lx180-16 states that it is a 16 sheet cross cut but the instructions state that you should not insert more than 10 sheets. It's very small for an office and the bin fills after a handful of papers. Not what i expected and not worth the price.

Fellowes Powershred
I have shredded 3 contractor bags of documents so far with zero problems. I have used up all the oil for the feed part of the unit, I have shredded so much. Ordered more Fellowes brand oil. Believe that will keep this running in fine shape! Recommend highly this machine.

Love this Product
I've owned the LX 180 Cross Shredder for 4 months, and really love the smooth operation, no jams, and generous bin. Fits well in my home office. Highly recommended.

Shreds beautifully
Nice and quiet. Smaller than my previous one. Have to empty out more.
It did not take a credit card like it said it would.

LX180 is an amazing surprise!
Although I received this product free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review - this shredder from Fellows surpassed my expectations! And I really shouldn't be surprised, Fellowes makes some great products. The LX180 with Intellibar is a powerful shredder that's simple, easy to use, and fast. I"ve been personally using the shredder for over a month and am always p...

Quiet, Modern, Sleek
Fellowes makes great shredders. This may be my favorite shredder for my home office of all time. It has a slender and attractive footprint for its bin capacity with gentle and modern lights that indicate when it is shredding. I also like the modern lines and gentle sounds it makes. For a workhorse of a machine, it is delightfully simple and safe. The peace of mind that ...

Best for the price!
The new Fellowes LX180 is by far the best shredder we have ever used! The new features make shredding a fast, quiet & efficient process. We especially like the way the shredder senses and displays phases of the shredding process with its system of colored lights and symbols. Cool! Plus it's jam proof, shreds staples & is so quiet that you can easily have a conversation ...

Great Shredder - Quiet, Powerfull, Secure
The LX180 was packed very well and easy to unbox and set up The unit itself is the ideal size for a home office in that it has a small footprint yet the hopper is large enough to hold a good amount before having to be emptied. It shreds multiple sheets with ease. I am delighted with the performance of this shredder. When the machine is in operation, there is a bright li...

Well Designed
The LX180 is well designed and is easy to unpack and use. It is quieter than my other shredder which is nice when people are working side by side and someone needs to shred documents. I also like the sleek design of the machine. My only issue, if you can even call it that, is the feed direct buttons are hard to see initially because they are the same color as the shredd...

It’s a Beast!!
The unit itself is very large. It shreds multiple sheets with ease. It is very quiet, much quieter than my old shredder. The auto stop feature is nice since I have 4 grandkids under the age of 7. It doesn’t take long after fingers are moved away for it to restart again.

Excellent shredder
The performance of this LX180 cross-cut shredder is amazing. This shredder is a workhorse that can handle marathon shredding sessions and has been jam proof thus far. My daughter accidently dropped a hairpin in with some shredding - no jams, no issues. I received this product free in exchange for my honest and unbiased feedback.

The Perfect Shredder!!!
I received this product free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. I was surprised when I received it and shocked when I used it! It is the smoothest shredder and cuts through the sheets of paper like they are nothing. I could not be any happier with this shredder!!!

LX180 Shredder exceeds expectations
The LX180 was packed very well and easy to unbox. upon doing so, I was surprised that the hand slots had moved from the sides (vs 79Ci) to the front and back of the shredder. It seems a little unnatural, but not a deal breaker. The switch to turn on the shredder was also moved to the back of the unit. The top of the unit has a series of ICONS that are not highlighted br...

An awesome new shredder
Upon opening the shipping box, I was immediately impressed with the overall design of the LX180. The design is sleeker, appears to be more compact than 79Ci. I thought the credit card flap would be missed, but actually liked the lack of the flap. Ideally with small children around and their infinite level of curiosity its removal is one less item to tempt them. As a shr...

AWESOME
I received this product free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. Saved stack over 6" high to shred: 2 magazines, multiple staples, 2 plastic credit cards, thick envelopes of junk mail, glossy cardstock ads. Chewed through EVERYTHING like a hot knife through butter! Super quiet. All that shredding never overheated or balked. Best shredder I have EVER used!

Wasn't lookin to replace my existing Fellowes 79Ci shredder, but if it ever goes out, this will be the one. Extremely quiet and seems to run forever.
