Fellowes Mfg Co. 4620001 Powershred 225mi 100% Jam Proof Micro-Cut Shredder with 16-Sheet Capacity

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!

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.
