I bought this because I was fed up with feeding ma 2 sheets at a time this one claims 10 and it really does
Using this shredder for my home office, it performs very well, doing a great efficient job.
Ideal for home office use where you have a relatively large amount of shredding. The large 22 litre bin is a big plus as many shredders have a much smaller capacity.
This is the first time I have bought a higher-priced shredder. It is working well after about a month’s use.
The main body is lightweight plastic. The shredder head sits on top and is quite heavy. The wheels are small, so that when you try to wheel it from one location to another it topples over very easily.
Not as robust as the Fellowes shredder I had before, but seems to shred OK and is quite quiet. Whether it lasts as long remains to be seen.
This is a good solid shredder for home use, it can easily cope with multiple sheets and is a leap up from the one we replaced which finally gave up the ghost. Its a Which best buy so no surprize that this is a good machine.
Only had it a couple of weeks and has not had a lot of use. It seems to work as expected but not had it long enough to give 5 starreview, but so far so good!
That being said, compared to my much cheaper, entry level shredder also from Fellowes, this product is on a completely different level where I can understand some of the cost difference.
My smaller shredder would jam with more than two sheets of paper in it. A staple would stop it shredding the rest of the sheet and it would need unblocking every half hour or so.
This one I shredded about 6 months worth of junk in at least 1/4 of the time of the smaller one with zero jamming at all. I even put stuff in it that I was sure was going to jam and it didn’t stop…. Honestly its pretty scary how effective it is. I put cardboard in the thing and it went through. I put plastic cards into it with no issue. I even put through entire envelopes with the rubbish from TV licencing inside, still sealed and it didn’t even flinch.
The bin also holds a fair amount. I had to empty it twice for 6 months worth of collected junk (around 60-80 letters and flyers). The deposited paper is small strips, extremely safe and almost impossible to rebuild. Definitely safe enough for confidential office use. Noise wise, it’s about the same as every other shredder you have likely heard. It’s not quiet but you can hear yourself talk over it but if you are using a phone nearby it’s definitely heard on the other end.
Obviously this price point means it’s still a ‘nice to have’ product but I can honestly say there’s nothing more I would ask for from this product.
The advert gave the impression that it’s packaging was damaged and that there were some scratches on the surface. These l thought were caused by the damage to the packing. This is not the case. This has obviously been used and l can only guess mistreated. Not really worth the few pounds difference to a new one. Having said that,it appears to work .
IT IS BRILLIANT, I CAN’T WAIT UNTIL I CAN USE IT SO I CAN SHRED MY UNWANTED MAIL ETC
Never received it as after much chasing was forced to cancel.
Looks quite smart; lift-off head much heavier than my previous Fellowes; rather noisy. No problems shredding to date.
Bought to replace a very old 6 sheet shredder that had given up. It handles a decent number of pages (although 10 sheets is probably pushing it, particularly with heavier weight paper). It handles staples if you’ve forgotten to take them out too.
The safety feature that detects your hand is near the lid can be a bit annoying and can trigger if a page being shredded flops over, but better safe than sorry I guess.
The shredder works well, and the bin size is ideal – not too large but also I’m not needing to empty it all the time with light use.
The only change that would make this 5 stars is to improve the “safe sense” safety bar. This is too sensitive and means the shredder will sometimes turn off when my hands are nowhere near. For example if the paper is slightly too humid, or I’m holding the paper with my hand – the shredder will sense the conductivity and turn off. The best resolution for this is that I left the paper to dry out overnight before shredding.
Unfortunately this safety feature can’t be turned off, so I just have to wait.
Otherwise a great shredder, so 4 stars overall
Easy to use, however, I’d make the following observations:-
Be careful not to shred too much at a time, about 5 minutes is fine so shredder doesn’t get too hot, and don’t put more than a couple of pages thickness through at at time.
Check regularly that the shredded pile in the bin doesn’t reach the blades – push the cone of accumulated shredding down
Don’t let the bin get too full before emptying and each time bin was emptied trickled a little oil across blades as instructed in the manual
Have owned a Fellows shredder before, well made and with careful treatment last for years!
Supposed to wait 20 minutes to cool down, but we found 10 minutes was sufficient. We filled three really big bin liners in an hour with the Powershred. Compared to half of one of the same bin liners in four hours with our older machine. It won’t work if your fingers get too close to the slot.
We had no jams at all.
Despite what other reviewers have said, with the window on the front one CAN see the extra large bin filling up with shreds. They probably did not wait long enough before emptying the bin. The window is at the top so one only sees the shreds when they get right to the top. Due to the size of the collector bin, extra large bin bags are recommended to allow the collecting bin to empty straight into the bin bag.
We made sure to oil both our machines this time. Neither machine jammed on this occasion. Our older machine has some paper compacted in the middle so we have to fold documents in half to shred them.
I gave no mark for ‘Sheerness’ because I don’t know what it means in this context. To me it means either ‘the measure of a slope’ or ‘the name of a town in Kent’.
Money well spent for us.
Admittedly the box was a little battered and bruised and taped up but the shredder itself was in perfect new condition and I no longer have a big bag of shredding to do because I did it all without it cutting out once! The box is now in the recycling bin and I’ve saved myself 27.98 off Amazon’s normal price of 59.99 – I am very happy 🙂
The shredder shreds very quickly chopping the pages into little tiny bits. It is slower if you shred more pages but I think this is brilliant! My old Rexel one is now in the bin where it deserves to be.
