I agree with the above review. The shredder clears its own paper jams. Self oils, which is really nice. Has wheels also nice. It is heavy and the shipping company will balk at delivery to any place that is not easy to reach for them, not you. It took 4 days of struggle to get the freight line to deliver to my door at the top of a long driveway. I offered more money for the delivery but they refused. The home office of the shipper was called. The seller and Fellows got on them too. Finally I got my shredder.

The shredder is fine. Big, powerful, and safe; it should withstand years of the kind of use that I'll make of it. But it's also heavy. You really need the shipping company to unpack and place it in its final location. I found out that "threshold delivery" means the shipper will deliver it just inside the door. More importantly, there's no mention of this in the order process, and no way to pay more to have it delivered where you'd like.

What a monster of a machine. Does a great job. Had an issue with the machine due to the deliver truckline, but the vendor corrected it and now I am a happy camper

As a small business, I have a problem where I generate 3 file boxes of paper that needs to stored, and the problem becomes worse when it is time to shred. I have gone through 4 office shredders and I felt I needed something more heavier duty to shred the archived paperwork. This shredder has been my answer. The bin fills up after one file box full of paper, but makes easy work of the chore. I love that it self oils and since it has wheels, it can be easily move into the corner after I have finished. I have a Fellowes confetti shredder for daily use. I use a 45 gallon trash bag as a liner instead of the trash bags that you can get from Fellowes. I only had this shredder for a few days and will I can hopefully update this review after several months. There are more expensive Fellowes shredders and I am not sure how they compare to this model. Even though the directions does not recommend using the shredder for radiographic film, I have found that it does a great job of shredding.
