Great shredder for any office!
The Fellowes P-42C works really well. It easily shreds up to 8 pages at a time into tiny pieces. It keeps my important papers safe and helps keep my desk clean and organized. It is reliable, smooth, and worth buying. Highly recommended!

Surprisingly good
Pleasantly surprised by its auto start feature in conjunction with the ability to handle 6 pages of A4 with relative ease. Also appreciate the same shred which compliments the bin size well. Much better than my old (& bigger) line shredder.

Basic shredder - Does the job
Great product for home use. Use it as specified in the manual , oil it frequently and will last. Make sure you dont exceed the 8 sheets and load it straight. The shredder itself doesntbsit flush onto the paper collector so you have to be careful else , its going to gt messy.

Perfect shredder for home use
I have been giving the Fellowes Shredder plenty of use since I purchased it a month ago. It is so much quieter and quicker than my previous shredder, getting through a pile of paperwork in no time! I also purchased the oil, so hopefully that will keep it in good order for years to come.
