Good compact shredder
This shredder does the job for what is needed in a small home office. It is compact and shreds close to 8 pages. It is a definite upgrade from my last shredder which barely did 5 pages. Since it is a new purchase, the biggest review would be its longevity. TBC...

So Far So Great
After testing the machine it has proved to be a great addition to our office. It's simple to use, user friendly, has multiple safety features, and isn't too big for our space. It's a little loud hence the 4-stars, but it gets the job done well. Jams are almost impossible, and when they do occur there is a procedure that you follow that is noted in the manual.

Great cross-shredder
I just purchased and started using this cross-shredder. Easy to use and seems to be working great.

Shredder
Works okay but it is a lot smaller than expected. Plus shreds in long pieces so receptacle fills up fast.

Noisy
I enjoy the speed it gobbles up the pages. But why so noisy?

Fellowes Shredder is okay
It works okay but it is noisy. I keep the number of sheets to 4 maximum because the machine seems to bog down with more than that. I had a 48C Fellowes shredder which self-destructed after several years of solid service. I hope this one performs as well.

Second Fellowes
I needed to replace an older shredder. In speaking with Customer Service, I was treated as a return customer and was provided with excellent service with product and pricing. The new shredder is more efficient. It is faster and makes less noise. Although the bin is smaller than my previous shredder, it is the best for what my needs are moving forward.

So far this shredder works great.
I have had this shredder only about a week but so far it is doing all I expected. It was easy to put together and learn how to use. It shreds about 6 pages easily and will do up to about 9 if I am careful.

Works well smaller than I thought
The shredder works well but it’s smaller than I was expecting. It also doesn’t seem to handle larger number of sheets well…It’s supposed to be an 8 sheet capacity shredder. I guess it’s probably no more than a 5 sheet capacity…it struggles with more that 4 or 5 sheets...

Shredder Review
Easy to order via web site. Timely delivery actually days earlier than the original estimated delivery date. Easy to unpack set up and use. Quieter than my previous machine. Doesn't take up much space so can place practically anywhere. I recommend this machine. Good value for the price.

Fellowes Powershred 8-Sheet Cross Cut Personal Shredder (
Powerful and quiet paper shredder. My only complaint is that it won't shred CDs or DVDs.
