Overview
A home office corner with curious kids or pets suits this Fellowes Powershred, which stops when hands touch the paper opening. It cross-cuts paper and credit cards into small particles and handles staples and clips.
Safety sensing and cross-cut security make it a sensible family shredder for bills and statements. It is not built for continuous use, so tax-season purges come in short bursts with rests.
Who it's for
Homes shredding mail, bank statements and old cards get safety and dependable security. Busy offices with heavy daily volume need a continuous-duty model.
Pros and cons
- Hand-sensing safety stop
- Takes credit cards and staples
- Lift-off head for emptying
- Power save mode
- Short run time
- Cool down conflicts in listing
- Heavy for its size
Performance notes
Security comes from cross-cutting each sheet into short strips, which are far harder to reassemble than straight cuts. Run time is limited by motor heat, so the shredder pauses to cool after a few minutes of steady use.
