Fellowes 14C10 Cross-Cut Paper Shredder 14-Sheet

Overview

The Fellowes 14C10 is a cross-cut home office shredder rated for 14 sheets per pass, turning documents into 5/32 by 1-9/16 inch particles at security level P-4. A 5-gallon pull-out bin and a 10-minute continuous run window make it suited to routine household paperwork.

Fellowes has built shredders for decades, and the 14C10 reflects that with a safety lock feature that disables the cutting head when hands or pets get near the slot. The P-4 rating means the cross-cut particles are small enough for tax documents and financial mail, not just casual junk mail. At 14 sheets per pass it sits above entry-level strip-cut models but below the heavy-duty office units built for daily high-volume use.

• 14-sheet cross-cut, P-4 security level
• 5/32 x 1-9/16 inch particle size
• 5-gallon pull-out bin, 250+ sheet capacity
• 10-minute continuous run-time

Who it's for

This suits a household or small home office that shreds mail, statements and old documents in occasional sessions rather than continuous daily loads. It is not sized for a team office running the machine for hours at a stretch.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The 14-sheet cross-cut capacity and P-4 rating come from a cutting head that also handles credit cards, paper clips and staples, so mixed household shredding does not need pre-sorting. Fellowes rates the motor for 10 minutes of continuous run-time before it needs to cool down, which covers a stack of mail or a folder of old statements in one session. The 5-gallon pull-out bin holds over 250 shredded sheets before it needs emptying, and the safety lock disables the cutting head when it is not actively feeding paper.
