Fellowes 100-Sheet Micro-Cut Shredder (100M)

Looks and sounds great till you get it and find that the moving parts in the upper path are all plastic. For the $$$$$ I don't expect it to last long. 100 page feeder jams easily, it takes one page at a time or a stack at whim. When it enters the cool down cycle any paper in mid shred gets stuck. For an office with confidential shredding papers can't be left hanging out with confidential information for all eyes walking by to see. There's no gauge to tell you how close it is to needing the cool down cycle which would allow you to stop before the machine does. Overall we're completely unimpressed.

This is my 2nd Fellowes shredder. My other one that finally bit the dust was pretty quiet. This AutoMax 100M shredder is super quiet. It has all the features I wanted. The 6 gallon bin gives me more capacity than my previous shredder. The auto feed works very well. I did have a couple of jams & was able to unjam the paper easily. Shredder can be easily run for 15 minutes continuously. A 35 min cool down period is necessary sometime after 15+ min. I haven't gone beyond 15 min. yet. My previous shredder worked well, but I needed one with more features & a heavier duty one to meet my shredding needs. This shredder is worth the money. This was the only shredder I found with a 2 year parts warranty plus a 7 year cutter warranty. I do think the user manual should explain how the blue on light functions during sleep mode and tips on how to get the blue light back on if it turns off & you can't get it back on. I ended up calling the company for assistance & got help.

I have small business, I had a small fellowes shredder worked well but always took so long to to shredder documents I needed to shredder. So I invested in this larger one, works amazing, had a small issue with it call the 1-800 and they were amazing helping me with the problem and took good care of me...

Having never used an auto shredder before this is a game changer! Absolutely love this machine. I’ve just started using it but the auto shred feature works very well… and so far extremely happy with the purchase.

Just love the features and how silent it is. Purchased another model that was loud and noisy in a quiet workplace and it jammed up in 2 days. Returned it and got this one. It's way way better.
