Fellowes AutoMax 100MA 100-Sheet Micro-Cut Autofeed 2-in-1 Paper Shredder for Office/Small Office

I have had this auto feed Fellowes shredder about a week now and so far, I am happy with its performance. I love the idea that you can stack up to 100 sheets in the auto feeder and let it go. I have a big shredding project so that was a feature that attracted me. My experience to date is that the auto feeder works well but I have found that it will jam if your papers are stapled. So, keep that in mind. However, you can shred stapled paper via the manual feed. I got this shredder to replace an older Fellowes home business shredder that we had for 17 years. So, I am hoping this new model is as well built and will last as long ---but only time will tell. I can say this shredder definitely runs quieter than our old shredder. The bin is a good size and because of the micro-cut you can shred quite a bit before needs to be emptied.

So far so good. I had ordered another one that quit after a few shreds. This one was more expensive than the first one but so far so good. It has not jammed and seems to work well. It seems more durable and shreds plenty fast. I have had no problems with any paper I shred. I have had it a couple of months now and tax time will require plenty of shredding of extra papers.

Ok, I just got this shredder. I was looking for a two piece device: 1 for the bin and 1 for the rest. No dice. 3 pieces. The bad: You have to put some effort into setting this up as the top will not just fit on the body. Flexy plastic makes sure of it. The unit threatened to flop over trying to move it without the bin. Also, the bin liked to pop open a few times on its own before I tried shredding (about a half inch, but extremely annoying especially if it’s going to micro cut paper and not toss it all over the place). The good: This thing is quiet, quick and actually not bad. If paper jams, it’ll automatically try and back the paper out. I like that. I put in 3 batches of 100 sheets and I could listen to my TV while it was shredding. It also ate a few old credit cards and was ready for more. The bottom line: I would have given it a better review if the plastic wasn’t so flimsy and the bin would actually stay where it was supposed to be (also if it was two pieces). Calling this “heavy duty” is a stretch. I would have liked it to be more durable. However, it does what it’s supposed to do, and it’s quiet and quick. I didn’t have to do much effort to unjam it, and that’s pretty good. I can see it lasting a while.

Best shredder and confetti maker!

Took me a LONG spell to compare, consider and buy a mulit-page shredder. Looked at reviews, reutns, and complaints and settled on the Fellowes. Can it do 100 pages, possibly! I loaded it with 70-80 pages and works like a champ. Since the purchase (today = 11/10/2025) has operated flawlessly! Smaller unit than my old one but this works! And with multipage shredding, does what my older unit that finally failed after 12 years couldn't.

Struggles to shred anything over 5 sheets of typical bill/letter weight paper. Disappointing. Will have to do. Surprised, considering the price. Paper feeder for larger quantities works ok, but requires monitoring as the sheets start to go askew as it works through them. Bummer. No manual included. Searching for download link.

LOVE the auto-feed paper option..... can set a a stack in, walk away for a few moments, and it still keeps going. Much easier than feeding manually when you have a nice neat stack to feed in.

Works good! Auto shutoff is quicker than advertised

It was good until it burned as the machine is not suitable for Southeast Asia use! I can’t even find tech support locally. Wasted $300

This paper shredder is quiet (for a paper shredder). Produces a very fine cut. The paper feeder option is great when you have a lot to shred.

Shreds paper and cards. Auto feed is great!

Love the fold out paper tray to do bulk shredding. Really beats feeding it 10 sheets or so at a time!

Fonctionne bien pour un petit volume. Détruit le papier en petit morceau. Un peu plus bruyante que mon ancienne Fellowes, mais tout de même satisfaite
