 MONSTER SHREDDER November 29, 2007

This is a great "at home" shredder. Works great and is cheap! Fellowes really knows what they're doing with shredders. We've had it for a couple of months now and I have nothing bad to say about it!
 8 sheets? yeah right September 14, 2007

Maybe I had too high an expectation, but I've yet to see this go through 8 sheets of paper. Constantly jams. Nearly worthless for shredding all the credit card junk mail offers I get. Have to open each one and feed them through at most 3 sheets at a time.
Maybe it can cut 8 sheets of TP, but even cheap glossy paper causes issues. And god forbid if you try and shred an envelope. Other shredders I've used work fine, just drop a piece of junkmail, envelope and all and your done. Not so here. An standard size envelope with 2 sheets inside results in 8 sheets thick to cut through. I have tested it and found that a single piece of paper in a standard tri-fold envelope typically jams. That's only 6 sheets thick. If you want a practical device, go bigger and better. This thing does not work as advertised.

Specs say it can handle 8 sheets. If you try more than 4 sheets, it slows to a crawl and sometimes stops. Even with 4 sheets it has a hard time and tends to make long strips (6" or longer) rather than confetti.
It does heat up fairly quickly with moderate use (a few minutes of constant use). It stopped on me once and I had to wait 20 minutes before it would start again.
The SafeSense sensor doesn't seem to be much of a problem (or a benefit for that matter). Unless you are really careful, you do tend to touch it while feeding paper, so the shredding stops momentarily, but then it starts right back up again. But all that starting and stopping probably causes the motor to heat up more quickly.
The cutters don't seem to clear themselves very well, which causes it to jam fairly often. I have to stop every couple of minutes and do the forward-reverse dance to clear out the paper from the cutters so I can continue. Even shredding only 1 or 2 sheets at a time, it sometimes goes really slow then speeds up then slows down again, so I can tell the cutters are getting clogged constantly.
I like the way the motor housing lifts off the basket, it makes it really easy to empty the basket.
Overall, it isn't a bad shredder. I wouldn't do it over again, though. For very light shredding (maybe 20 sheets max, feeding them 2 or 3 at a time) it would be OK. Anything more than that and you are asking for a headache.
very good November 27, 2007

This shredder is a real good buy. The shredder works great and I am satisfied with the quality and the price.
And go light on the vegetable oil August 15, 2007

I used 6 - #20 pieces of printer paper and it jammed. My shredder will do 3 pieces, but I put in 2 and it works fine. Good for someone that needs to shred mail and other very light tasks. Don't shred sticky stuff and go light on the vegetable oil. Next time I'll go heavy duty.
