Great heavy duty shredder
If you are looking for a shredder that can handle the job without breaking the bank, look no further. This unit can handle the largest of jobs and has a great capacity bin. It is not a unit to stick under a desk as it is quite large however nothing this powerful comes in a small package. It will not jam and makes sure you can't jam it. It is a quality product that I wou...

Dissatisfied
We're on our fourth warranty-replacement. The "Bin Full" sensor consistently fails. The "manual" is totally inadequate. Even when using the proprietary expendables - oil, bags - the machine simply does not work. We absolutely have to have a cross-cut shredder. It's nearly impossible to get one as we are on a remote island in the middle of the Pacific.

This shredder works as it should, but it's pretty loud. The bags also do not fit very well, so every time you open the bin, paper shreds fall out into the floor.

Powershred 12C
Just bought this machine for my office. Looks excellent (especially in white) and performs far better than previous shredders I've purchased from other manufacturers. For a small office with regular but not excessive shredding needs, this machine does the job perfectly.

Great machine 2 issues
Works great,, but i have two issues. When shredding a lot of documents, the chad can build up in a pile and cause a false full indication. While this is easy to fix by stirring the chad in the bin with my hand, I really shouldn't have to do this. My second issue is that it is hard to guage the size of a stack of paper that will not jam the feeder. The indicator assumes ...

Great shredder!
I've used several wastepaper basket type shredders that jam, can only shred a few sheets at a time, overheated in less than 10 minutes so I could only use the shredder for 10 minutes every hour, and small bits of paper stuck in the shredding teeth.

Fellowes 125Ci -- UNQUALIFIED 5-STAR RATING
This is my 3rd Fellowes across the years. The previous one was a 95Ci. I needed another and got the 125Ci - a bit bigger. These are AMAZING devices. They just work, no matter what. You don't "coddle" it. 20 sheets. Cannot jam. Just oil it periodically. Love it. Customer for life!

Sleek and quiet
This shredder is nice and quiet compared to our old model. It is light & easy to move however the light plastic makes me question the durability of the product. It seems to work well so far and doesn't jam. The quality of the shred is nice whether on paper or cards. My biggest complaint is that this shredder does not have a paper feeder to leave a stack and let it go, i...

Large and durable
Fellowes makes the best shredders we have ever purchased. We have about half a dozen in various sizes. This unit works as well as the others and I am sure will be just as durable.

A shredder for our needs
This is an excellent product. If there is on thing I would change it would be having the slot centered over the basket more. Alot of paper drops to the back of the container. More than necessary mess to clean up.

A Good Replacement
For my 2 person office, we purchased the Fellows 125Ci as a replacement for a smaller shredder. Before we had the Fellows Shredder out of the box we could see it was a nice machine. It was easy to set up, came with bags and oil that we were not expecting. With the first use we were impressed at the height of the machine, at the speed and how quiet it was. We quickly emp...

Awesome Shredder
I would like to have to not use a plastic bag in the shredder bin , instead paper recycling bags should be recommended, better all around for the Environment.
