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

Great Home Shredder
Has all the features for small quantity shredding. Recommended placing max 1-3 sheets of 80gsm paper at a time for trouble free shredding.

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

Expected better for the price
For the price that you pay, you expect for single sheets of paper not to get jammed in the rollers. The whole unit is also quite heavy, especially to take the top off to empty. This is an ok machine rather than great. It does the job, however, I possibly wouldn't have purchased it if I didn't have the store credit to go towards lowering the remaining price I had to pay.

Blitzed
A small but useful piece of equipment. I like that the unit crosscuts and is easy to use. It has a short window in which to shred your paper etc. I’m shredding a lot of stuff so I only do 2 or 3 bins full a day
