After reading reviews on several shredders, I decided to break down and spend the money on a decent home office type shredder. No big deal since most shredders are this way. I bought the Fellowes w-11c yesterday on sale at a local store.
I've replaced enough shredders that I figured it would probably save money in the long run to get a top-of-the-line shredder and pay out the $160 instead of replacing the shoddy ones as they break down. That junk mail and those papers have been accumulating for 6 months, going in a big "shred it when you get a new shredder box."
Features Of Fellowes Powershred W-11C 11 Sheet Cross-Cut Shredder (3103201)
- 11 sheet cross cut shredder reduces documents to 5/32′ x 1 3/8′ higher-security confetti particles
- Shreds credit cards, staples, and paper
- Medium duty shredder for home and small office use, 880 sheets in 5 minutes
- Patented safety interlock switch instantly stops shredder when unit is lifted off wastebasket
- Equipped with a 9′ wide paper entry
I emptied the box into the shredder and I was RELENTLESS. Unopened credit card offers, old bank statements, several checkbook pads for an account I no longer have, and more. Today alone, I had to empty the bin 9 times... and its still running great!
The shredder is not as loud as I expected from reviews. You can shred a few pieces of paper at the same time but not 11 sheets as stated.
Maybe 11 sheets of tissue paper but not normal copy paper. It shreds credit cards with ease but only one at a time as stated. There is also a locking mechanism on top to keep prying hands out? I don't understand why it needs to be there if it won't run until the top is seated correctly.
If you shred perhaps 2 to 10 things per day,
this Fellowes W-11C Deskside Cross Cut Paper Shredder is the ideal unit for you (especially if you don't like having to open junk mail envelopes before shredding 'em!)
