4.0 out of 5 stars Expensive but great!
The Fellowes Powershred 220 CrossCut Shredder is a very heavyduty machine. It can shred very quickly, and is very well-guarded against accidentally inserting your finger or hand into it, making it safe for kids to be around. This is very well-suited for an office, and contains a large, easily-emptied wastebasket for long-lasting use even in a very large office. This is a...

3.0 out of 5 stars Not for a busy office
This shredder works well enough for the occasional one sheet at a time purpose. However, it doesn't come close to living up to the purported 7-9 sheets/22 ft per minute advertisement. Certainly not worth the price!

This review is from: Fellowes Powershred C-220C 12-14 Sheet Confetti Cut Shredder (Office Product)
The Fellowes Powershred 220 CrossCut Shredder is a very heavyduty machine. It can shred very quickly, and is very well-guarded against accidentally inserting your finger or hand into it, making it safe for kids to be around. This is very well-suited for an office, and contains a large, easily-emptied wastebasket for long-lasting use even in a very large office. This is a reliable shredder that is from a great brand (Fellowes), and is backed by a long, parts-and-labor warranty. If you buy this, you definitely won't need another shredder ever again!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Shredder, February 20, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Fellowes Powershred C-220C 12-14 Sheet Confetti Cut Shredder (Office Product)
This shredder is excellent for heavy home-office use.

Positives: the shredder has a large disposal bin; can shred 4-6 pages at one time adequately, including stables; has good safety features, such as auto shut off when shredder is overloaded or when the disposal bin door is ajar; corss-cuts for security (not the strips common in low-end shredder) and heavy duty construction.

Negative: when this paper shredder jams (which is rarely and only happens if you are drastically exceeding the amount of pages trying to be shred beyond a reasonable quantity) it is very hard to undue the jam. I have had to keep flipping the forward and reverse switch back and forth continuously in order to work through the jam. In addition, the receptacle in the disposal bin, in which the shredded paper is collected, is made out of cardboard.

I would recommend frequent use of the blade oil, included with the purchase of the shredder, in order to insure a smooth and quieter operation.

Overall, the best shredder on the market. I have owned three other shredders before researching and buying Fellowes Powershred 220 Cross Cut Shredder.
