Fellowes Powershred 225Mi Jam-Proof Micro-Cut 16-Sheet Paper Shredder, Black

My wife loves the ultra-quiet operation, the feeling of immense shredding power to spare, and the easy-to-understand indicators and controls. I found this machine to be thoughtfully designed and constructed. The operational features are perfect—no fluffy extras (to distract you), but nothing left out either. I especially like how the shredder came with a bottle of oil and extra bags for the storage bin and how the oil, bags, and manual all store inside the cabinet door. That is such a thoughtful touch: no more searching for the oil bottle, bags, or manual! I, personally, do not mind that the removable bin is cardboard. The unit is built with heavy steel components (tip: I used a mover's strap to lift it up or down stairs) where it counts for strength, performance, and stability. Micro shredded paper is fluffy and light, so it's sensible to have a lightweight bin that is easy to remove with one hand—why make it heavier than it has to be? I have never purchased anything but Fellowes shredders for over twenty years, and each one of them still operates today (just oil the cutters every time you empty the bins and use common sense about what you stuff into the slots). This 225Mi is by the best of the shredders I've purchased thus far. I'm so impressed with this machine.

We love all the features especially the auto shut off. In the past, someone would walk away from the shredder thinking it would automatically turn off.

Working great so far - great capacity. Wonderful safety features & good to have the automatic energy saver to turn off machine when not in use. Disappointed in cardboard box container for shredder given price of machine. Hope you replace these for free. Need 2 people to carry and remove from box as very heavy, even for 2 people.

I just product. It is just what I wanted and more. It sheds paper, credit cards, CDs, and the staples too! The only BIG complaint I have is the bad delivery service. It came on time; however, I live in an apartment on the ground floor and have health challenges and walk on a walker. I aske if Fellowes would delivered this 90 lbs. product to my door or into my apartment. They refused. They would only deliver it outside on the curb - even to a disabled customer. This is a HORRIBLE policy that must be corrected!! When I asked the delivery lady why they could not deliver this heavy to my apartment considering my disabled case. She told me that the policy protected the delivery persons, but NOT the customer. It's a shame that even the disabled customer can't get the $1,780.79 paid in full product delivered to and inside his apartment. Very disappointing!!!

I was blown away by how quiet it operated and the sleek design, but that was before I discovered the SafeSense Operation and the JamProof System. All I have to do is run some oil over the blades when I empty the container and there is nothing to it!
