As expected, the shredder functions great and has a huge bin to collect the cross-cut pieces. For the $78 paid, I would highly recommend this product for the 8 pages, 5 min continuous shredding, and 15 min cool down time.

This is a very nice shredder which is great for home/office use...it's medium sized which means that it doesn't take up too much room by your desk, and it sits nicely next to my desk-side recycle bin. It's not too loud, and easily handles most shredding tasks...however I was surprised to learn that it won't shred CDs for some reason. It has a very handy capacity viewing window so you can see how full the container is getting. Overall a very nice unit, but the only real complaint I have is that the unit doesn't secure to the bin like thought it would...although this is not a big deal as you can easily just hold onto the bin with your pinky fingers as you grip the main shredder unit's handles, it would be nice to be able to securely move the unit around when you need to without worrying about dumping a bin of shreddings everywhere!

I tried the shredder and it works amazingly! The best shredder I have gotten for work!

WE purchased the shredder to dispose of a few years of old tax and business files. It did a lot of work in a short time. It did heat up if fed to fast, but if fed slow with short pauses it worked fine. The number of sheets fed through at once was not what was stated,at 6, but 2 or 3 worked fine and no heating issues. It jammed a coupleof times,at first, but by following instructions was unjammed easily. Now the major shredding job is done, I do not see any problem shredding what will be coming up in the future.

This little shredder is perfect size to fit under the desk and works great! Shreds everything I have put to it with no problem. I'd buy this product again and recommend it.

I have always wanted a home shredder. I am really thrilled with the Fellowes shredder that I purchased. Just great!
