Fellowes AutoMax 100M Cross-Cut Paper Shredder

Works perfectly

Awesome Machine It is amazing how quiet and quick it is.

Shredder works great. Be aware that the auto feed paper tray is inside the paper bin and you have to attach it to the top back of the shredder. The instructions do not tell you this.

Good security. Small cross shredding. I particularly like the feed option. I can put a stack of items in and just ignore it while it shreds. So far, very reliable.

Update: I sent it back. After spending a couple of hours making little headway on my shredding, resulting in one almighty jam, I packaged it up and sent it on its way. This was unacceptable. Again, these were not huge, thick slabs of tough paper. I was trying to shred old financial statements in thin sheaves of probably 10 pages or less. I had treated myself by splurging on this more expensive shredder. I am very disappointed - it really didn't perform better than my old $100 shredder. I have ordered a $35 galvanized burn bin instead. I live in a rural area, so I will go back to the caveman approach. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eh. It's OK. This is my fourth shredder in the last 20 years, so I have had my struggles. I really was hoping this would be as jam proof as it was claimed to be. The first bag or so of shredding was smooth. Starting on the second bag's worth it has been jamming about every 2-3 minutes. This is all standard stuff - old bank statements and the like that I have been meaning to get rid of, but did not because I hated my old shredder so much. So, it's back to old routine. Oil when needed, keep some needle nose pliers handy for pulling those jams out and generally baby it along. I really wish that companies would test their products in real world settings before advertising them. I'm guessing that their performance and "jam free" claims are based on feeding reams of pure white paper through, fresh from the box. Not wodges of old bank statements. And no, I did not overload it. So it's back to the love-hate relationship I have with shredders. This is better than my old one, but jam-free or leave-alone-to-do-it's-job? Nope. It barely crossed the threshold for me keeping vs returning it. (For background, I am an engineer.)

I have owned several different shredders. My last one was a Fellowes. Since the thing lasted so many years, I decided on another Fellowes, though this one is an upgrade. Wow. I am fully impressed. The automatic document feed makes shredding large volumes easy. I am shredding so much more quickly than before. The microcut makes me feel more secure about the paper waste; no one will want to put these confetti back together. I haven't shredded credit cards, but I did put in paperclips (manual feed). Most of my statements came folded in envelopes and are not flat when unfolded. The automatic feed took care of them. When the bin is full, it tells me. I just pull it out and empty; the top does not need to be lifted. It ran for quite a long time before overheating. We just have to let it rest for half an hour and then it's ready to roll again. This was a great purchase. I would buy it again.

I've bought 3 shredders from Fellowes and loved each one. They do manufacture the best on the market, long lasting. Since the Micro Shredder came out it's the only one I would buy. Can't put the pieces of paper back together.

Jams up

Very pleased with this shredder. The automatic sheet feeder is a real time saver. Had a minor issue with the shredder that was shipped and this was addressed promptly by Fellowes. Outstanding product support.

No aguanta, ni 6 meses de uso moderado, y ya no funciona... sin soporte o garantia... no vale los $15,000 pesos pagados

Delivered quickly, extremely well packaged including original manufacturer box, registration card, etc. Sturdy machine, rolls smoothly on castors, small enough to tuck out of the way under our counter when not using. We used this machine a LOT over the first 48 hours to catch up on our shredding, and did not get a single jam. The machine is so quiet, the crinkling paper is actually the louder sound! 100 page auto-feed capacity is very convenient. The pull-out bin for emptying is brilliant. Micro-cross-cut makes the shred pile very compact and increases our confidence regarding security of sensitive documents. One of the best investments to date for our small medical clinic.

We;'ve been using this shredder for the past couple of years and it has run great with no issues

Top notch !!
