Fellowes P-48C Cross Cut Shredder with Patented Safety Lock

Our Review
This is a cross-cut machine that can shred eight sheets at a time to small, 3.9mm x 50mm, pieces. It is great for the occasional user since it is easy to operate, has good capacity, and unique safety mechanism in place. This safety mechanism will automatically turn off the shredder if it isn’t positioned firmly on top of the bin or if your hands happen to be close to the throat. The auto-start allows you to start feeding paper as soon as the shredder is plugged in and automatically stops when you are done. The bin is large enough, but is not removable – you will actually have to lift the top of the shredder in order to empty the full basket; however, there is a large opening that allows you to see at all times if the bin is full or not. The safety mechanism can also be quite tricky at times and you might have to find yourself adjusting the top of the machine quite often or the shredder won’t start at all. The bin is also soft and tends to bend and there is no handle on the top that would make separating it from the bin easier. However, for the home user that is destroying documents once in a while, this shredder does an excellent job and can easily shred paper, staples, and credit cards!
