Perfect shredder for home use
I have been giving the Fellowes Shredder plenty of use since I purchased it a month ago. It is so much quieter and quicker than my previous shredder, getting through a pile of paperwork in no time! I also purchased the oil, so hopefully that will keep it in good order for years to come.

So far so good
Bought this shredder a couple of weeks ago and it seems to work well. Doesn’t take too many pages at once but that’s fine for domestic use. I try not to shred too long as I read these small shredders don’t like that. I am happy with the performance so far

So far so good
I bought the shredder oil and have the shredder a good dose before using. I'm being very careful not to overload and put to many sheets in our room it for to long. Good cuts and speed.

Effortless
Easy to use and quieter than expected. Cross cuts so can shred more for the same capacity. Very happy.

Mighty little Muncher
The Fellowes Powershred had a big task and has come up trumps. Quiet, and lasts considerably longer than my previous shredder. Efficient and happy to recommend to any small home office
