Overview
Shredding stacks of financial and personal papers into tiny micro-cut particles is the job of this Fellowes machine, which reverses automatically if paper jams. SafeSense stops the blades when hands touch the opening, and a pull-out bin collects the particles.
Micro-cut security and long run times suit a small office or busy home office shredding sensitive records. The listing contradicts itself on sheet capacity, particle size and run time, and the machine is heavy.
Who it's for
Home offices and small teams of a few users shredding confidential documents get high security and a large bin. Anyone shredding in very large volumes all day should look at a commercial unit.
Pros and cons
- High-security micro-cut particles
- Auto reverse clears jams
- SafeSense hand protection
- Large pull-out bin
- Capacity and run-time figures conflict
- Cool-down pauses during long jobs
- Heavy to move
Performance notes
Security comes from cutting paper into micro-cut particles, which Fellowes says are ten times smaller than standard cross-cut. Run time is limited by a cool-down cycle, and an overheat light signals the pause. Auto reverse backs out jams before they stall the job.
