5.0 out of 5 stars Shredding technology at its best!, May 1, 2008

By	chickenbutt - See all my reviews

Wow, this is a vast improvement over my 8 year old shredder...no doubt about that, but it stands on its own in features, ability, and QUIETNESS! Fellowes is an excellent brand so, even before checking reviews, I knew this would be the brand for me this time around.

First of all, I love how much more quiet this is than my old 5 sheet shredder. It doesn't make that type of sound, like you are putting a body into a wood chipper, like the old ones did so that is a vast improvement.

I love not having to open up every credit card solicitation envelope, unfold everything, then shred. This shredder will take it right down, as long as it isn't a particularly thick item (up to 15 sheets).

So far I tried it on one credit card...zip! done! That rocks! The safety features are great. I tested it by just running my hand over the top while shredding. The safety light came on and it stopped immediately.

The shredder came with a couple of the liner bags. I appreciate that because I can decide if I like them before buying them. I'm not sure I'm going to like them and they really aren't necessary since the bin slides out easily for disposing of the contents. It also came with a little bottle of oil. It looks like enough oil to last a good long time, so don't bother buying the upsell bottle of oil!

There are wheels, two of which have breaks, that easily snap in (this is nice because this shredder is large and kind of heavy). The instruction sheet for that doesn't tell, or show, you where the ones with breaks go so I don't know if it matters, but I put them on the back.

It also comes with a little vertical file type thing that you slide on to the back. I suppose that is for your shredding pile but I am using it for the bags, oil, and the instruction booklet. With this bad boy I don't think I am going to let a backlog of shredding pile up! zip zip and you're done.

I think my two favorite features are the quietness and the slide out bin. My old one sounds like a chainsaw murder scene, plus I had to disassemble it and take the entire bottom to the trash for emptying.

3.0 out of 5 stars Shredder Review, June 16, 2008

By	A. Engemann (Eastern Virginia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This shredder does a good job but I think it is over-rated as to how many sheets you can run through at one time and to the noise level. Like most other shredders I have used in the past, you can count on the ratings to be inflated by a factor of two. This shredder comfortably handles about half the number of sheets claimed, certainly makes noise (although not as shrill as cheaper machines), and cannot shred all of your unopened junk mail. I found some pieces of junk mail choked the shredder.

Overall, I would still buy this shredder. I would just advise others that the capabilities/strengths are inflated.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow... what an improvement!, March 25, 2008

By	R. Johnson (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this "Intellishred" shredder to replace an old Fellowes shredder we used for three years (which worked fine), but just stopped working when a plastic gear broke inside. I was hesitant to buy another, but after reading all the reviews and checking out the competition, I really didn't see many alternatives. I'm VERY happy with this purchase so far (after two months). My old shredder was noisy, but I figured they all were... wow, in comparison, this one is unbelievably QUIET! It shreds everything I give it, and it keeps on going, all without any bothersome noise. In fact, I go around looking for things to shred! So far, I am very happy with this purchase. Note that it comes in different sizes, this was perfect for our space... but there is a bigger bin available if you need one. Get the bags to go with it, they are very convenient.
