Review: World's Toughest Home Quality Shredder.. - The Fellowes 4609001 Powershred 99MS Micro-Cut Shredder is an excellent choice for shredding old bills, tax documents, bank statements or credit cards. It's hungry and cuts through staples effortlessly. I received mine and immediately put it to use cleaning out and destroying old paperwork that I have had filed away from back in the early 80s. I was amazed at how quiet this shredder is compared to others that I've used, and it shreds to a micro-cut size which is perfect for old tax returns, etc. Once I started feeding documents through mine, I wasn't counting the pages (the manual states a maximum of 12 sheets per pass) as I placed them in the shredder but I was feeding them at a rapid pace. I managed to feed too many pages at one point and the shredder immediately sensed it and reversed the stack. Impressive! I very quickly filled the bin twice before the over temp light illuminated and the shredder stopped working. After 30 minutes it was ready to go again. Overall I'm very pleased with this purchase. It's easy to setup, just push the four rollers into the holes on the bottom of the bin, insert a bag and turn it on. The bags are easy to install and they make this a very clean job overall. The only "con" I can report, is that even though the shredder itself is very nice, the holding bin is just a little flimsy and it won't slide into the box without a some effort. I don't mean to imply this would be a show stopper because for me, I'd still purchase this model shredder again if I'd known about this minor flaw beforehand. It's not that much effort and not that big a deal, but I want to be honest with other potential buyers. I would highly recommend this product to other users who want a good quality shredder for their home office or small business. There is a small bottle of oil that comes with the shredder. Be sure to add a little oil across the cutters each time you empty the bin.
Review: THIS IS the BEST machine to do the job. - ===== UPDATE @ Sept-2017 ---- STILL DOING EXCELLENT JOB - NO PROBLEMS anytime !!!!I ===== If you are looking for dependable and trouble-free way to shred your papers, documents etc - at home or small office .... look no more !!! .... THIS IS the BEST machine to do the job !!! We've bought it at the end of 2013 (were impressed by 17x FIVE stars reviews) - and we did NOT have a single problem with it - & it is now middle of 2015 .... It shreds, doesn't make too much noise, will signal when it's hot from the job (usually after 1.5 full bags), shreds several paper & even staples as advertised.... . Also - my advise: get plastics bags (100 pack) - they fit nicely into the bin & also: oil it, when starting new bag (just run sheet of paper & run oil bottle over it on one side, then repeat with second sheet for the other side) - they've got big bottle of oil here, too. (We got also 3 years warranty, looks like we will not even need it at all ....) ============== UPDATE: June-2018 ----- STILL DOING GREAT JOB - no problems at all ......

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can it shred unopened junk mail?**
A: Beware of junk mail containing metal coins or tokens.  Sometimes a donation-seeking organization will put a nickel in there to coerce you into opening it saying something along the lines of, "Just this nickel a day will help save the world of every problem ever!", and another example is the March of Dimes, who often puts a dime in there.  Still others have non-money tokens that are metal, especially ads for kid's stuff.  Car dealerships often toss a key in too.  I would open just in case.  A magnet doesn't help because usually the coin or token isn't iron-based.

**Q: Can the casters be removed? I want to mount the shredder in a cabinet, however,  it's too tall with the casters. Please advise - thank you.**
A: Casters are removable. LOVE LOVE LOVE this shredder!  SO much more quiet than others we've had in the office.  Shreds paper to almost a pulp!  Thinking about getting one for my home too!

**Q: Can it shred credit cards?**
A: Yes.  Here's the excerpt from the manual.  I don't do it only because I like to recycle my shredded paper:Will shred: Paper, credit cards and staplesWill not shred: Adhesive labels, continous form paper, transparencies, newspaper, cardboard, paper clips, CD/DVDs, laminates, file folders, X-rays or plastic other than noted abovePaper shred size:Micro-Cut .......................................................................................................... 2 x 14mmMaximum:Sheets per pass ........................................................................................................... 12* Paper entry width.................................................................................................. 230mm *A4 (70g), paper at 220V-240V, 50/60 Hz, 3.4Amps; heavier paper, humidity or other than rated voltagemay reduce capacity. Maximum recommended daily usage rates: 1000 sheets per day, 50 credit cards.12 sheets per pass to avoid jams.Fellowes SafeSense® shredders are designed to be operated in home and office environments ranging between 50 - 80 degrees Fahrenheit (10 - 26 degrees Celsius) and 40 - 80% relative humidity.

**Q: My Fellows shredder Model SB15C had worked fine but even though Bin is empty it indicated its full drives me Crazy as shredding stops completely**
A: If you let it get so completely full that it stops, sometimes the paper shreds remain jammed up in the shredding unit even though the bin is empty. Try the following:1. pull the bin completely out 2. tap on the side of the unit (near the top) to see if you can loosen the jam, use the reverse button intermittently3. shine a flashlight up into the blades from inside the bin area to see if you can see a problem4. vacuum out the shredding blades with a crevice attachment on the vacuum hose (looking up from inside the bin area)5. tilt the unit upside down and then right side up

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This shredder is a great machine!
*by F***N on February 15, 2020*

I find that this shredder is perfect as a home office shredder, or a small office shredder for 1 to 3 employees. This shredder is perfect for shredding tax bills, insurance documents, bank statements, medical bills, and junk mail. I'm currently using this shredder at my work as a temporary shredder until we get a new commercial shredder. Pros: Quiet operation; comes with caster wheels to move easily around room; safesence technology; window on the wastebasket; sleep mode energy savings system automatically shuts down the shredder after 2 minutes of no shredding activity; shredder will run if the bin is closed, if bin is open the shredder will not run; Bin full will illuminate when the shredder waste bin is full and needs to be emptied; when a paper jam occurs, reduce paper quantity to an acceptable amount and re-feed into paper entry; overheat indicator is illuminated when the shredder has exceeded it's maximum operating temperature and needs to cool down, this indicator will remain illuminated and the shredder will not operate for the duration of the recovery time. Cons: I wish this shredder featured continuous duty shredding, meaning continuous run time, continuous duty motor to offer non-stop shredding for maximum productivity. I would buy this shredder again, if needed.
