An excellent shredder by any standard
AutoMax™ 100MA Micro-Cut Auto Feed Shredder
Immediately upon receiving my new shredder I opened the box and took it out. There was very little to do in order to set it up – remove from box, insert wheels in holes at the bottom and then place the shredder head unit on top of the base and insert the basket. I don’t think that it could have been much simpler. The first th...

Beware! Doesn't like 100 pages as advertised
I'm not sure where you're supposed to put 100 pages at one time - but definitely not in this auto feed shredder. Constantly jams with paper that is stapled together. Sending it back immediately - don't waste your time thinking you are getting a deal!

sturdy little machine
This is a great shredder. I purchased it on sale, and it was easy to assemble and works great! I love that I can stack up to 100 pages in the hopper and it will shred them without me needing to handfeed small batches and keeping an eye on it. It will stop when it gets too warm, and resume when it cools down, so no need to baby sit it. I can focus on my work and not the...

Absolutely Best Shredder Mfg. Available
Years ago I purchased a industrial size Fellowes 94MC shredder for a small company I owned and our staff ran literally thousands and thousands of pages into it. Unfortunately when I sold the company and retired the 94MC stayed with the new owner. I have now bought the AutoMax 100MA for our home.

Fast but very Loud
This is nice shredder as long as you don't mind the fact that it is loud. Not good in an small area or office setting.

Price was right, but...
All the specs met my needs, but it jammed very quickly during auto-feed. The reverse made it worse. It is almost impossible to pull the jammed paper out to clear this mess. On the box staples are okay, not the machine, no. Really??

Excellent performance for the price
This micro-cut paper shredder is a "must have" if you want to protect your privacy and render old disposable documents unlegible. Fast, semi-quiet, super fine cut. The item does over heat if you attempt to shred hundreds of pages in one go. Give it 5 minutes and you're back on track. I'm very happy to report that I have experienced zero paper jams.

This item does not meet standards. It jammed immediately regardless of how aligned the docs were.

Does the job
Does the job… not any different than the ones I’ve had before, except that it is $100.00 more than I have paid on the others.

Great shredder so far
This is a fast, robust piece of office gear!
So far it's taking all I can throw at it and its working great.
I'm helping a relative downsize, which has resulted in literally a trunk load of paper that needs shredding. This machine is the answer so far.

Fellowes is a welcome fellow in our office
This is our 2nd Fellowes. We purchased our 1st one in back before 2000?
Now in 2024 this one has wheels and other amenities. I also learned of the sheet that lubricates the cutters making it cut smoother and longer.
I recommend this to anyone who has a home office.

The Fellowes AutoMax 100MA 100-Sheet Shredder - Small, but Powerful
The Fellowes AutoMax 100MA 100-Sheet Shredder is small, but has surpassing power. If shreds the paper into small pieces that are heavy enough so that they don't go flying all over in response to static electricity as my other shredder used to do. It's reasonably quiet. The shredded paper bin is easy to empty. The auto-feed is a nice feature as is the window that all...

Amazing Shredder
We replaced a shredder that we thought did great until it broke, but after replacing with this one it puts our old one to shame. We were having to empty our old shredder that cut into single strips sometime 2 times a week. This new shredder has been running for 2 weeks and since it shreds everything so small we haven't emptied it yet and it's only 1/2 full.
