Fellowes 4606301 60Cs Cross-Cut Shredder 10 Sheet Cross Cut Paper Shredder for the Home or Home Office with SafeSense Technology

For semi regular use this unit is perfect, the 10 sheet rating is for 70gsm paper, most regular paper is 80gsm, just bear this in mind.
Remember to empty the canister too, only time it jammed on me was when the basket was over full.
It is a machine, therefore needs lubrication and cleaning once in a while, dust from paper shredding will build up over time and can clog things if not cleaned - I do about every 3 months, but this is based on use.

It's a bit noisy & it's time consuming if you have a lot to shred.
If you value your time - do consider investing in upgrading to a higher spec Fellowes Shredder that have
features like being quieter, unjammable and self loading. It's a bit noisy & it's time consuming if you have a lot to shred.

Much faster than our previous shredder just a bit noisy Much faster than our previous shredder just a bit noisy

This is being used for typical household shredding, including a backlog of formerly important papers! I have been extremely happy with how the shredder runs. I use it for 5-10mins at a time and then find something else to do for a wee while before starting up again. My previous shredder was much cheaper but much, much quicker to overheat and stop. I am very happy with this purchase. This is being used for typical household shredding, including a backlog of formerly important papers! I have been extremely happy with how the shredder runs.

Very good shredder for its price. I don’t have high volumes so have never reached the cut-off period, but well worth the purchase. Big enough bin to not have to clean it out regularly. I would recommend it. Very good shredder for its price. I don’t have high volumes so have never reached the cut-off period, but well worth the purchase.

A little more power than the last Fellowes I bought. Hoping this one lasts longer than 2 years. :-)
It does seem to strain at 10 sheets, so I'll stick with 5 sheets. A little more power than the last Fellowes I bought. Hoping this one lasts longer than 2 years. :-)

Super quiet and super-fast. Replacing a 12 year old Techno cross cut shredder - this Fellowes 60Cs is a fantastic updated product. If it lasts as well as the Techno which as I don't have a fire I used for "IDENTITY safety" shredding addressed envelopes etc. AAAAA++++++ Super quiet and super-fast.

This product provided great convenience and value for money as I was able to shred around 8000 photographs in just a few sessions with the product. To use commercial services to do this was going to be both inconvenient and expensive. And of course I still have a usable shredder. It must be used thoughtfully, without forcing or stuffing the feed, and with allowance for the fact that it does shut itself down for a few minutes on a regular basis to cool the shredding mechanism. It also needs lubrication which can be messy until you get the hang of it; I figured out to do this every time I had emptied the machine, and to put a paper napkin the...view more This product provided great convenience and value for money as I was able to shred around 8000 photographs in just a few sessions with the product.

It also needs lubrication which can be messy until you get the hang of it; I figured out to do this every time I had emptied the machine, and to put a paper napkin the bottom of the machine to catch any excess. The only mistake I made was to not do research on the lubricating oil which turns out to be plain canola oil; there is no need to buy the manufacturer's own product as this oil is available anywhere - you just need a fine dropper to dispense it.

This shredder gets it done but struggles with more than 4 sheets at a time even though it says 10 sheets. But you just feed them in 4's and you get it done. lasted up over 8 years for the last one but we make it work hard with over feeding it sometimes so wasn't surprised it died and just didn't feel the need to upgrade to a better model.

Brought this shredder for work. Looked at other shredders , but this had a quicker rest period and the sheet maximum is 10. Very happy with product, will shred credit cards as well.

I found it easy to operate. I don't need to use it all that often, but it's great just to have it there. I found it easy to operate. I don't need to use it all that often, but it's great just to have it there.

Seems to do what I need. If it lasts as long as my smaller one I will be very happy. Haven't owned for long enough to warrant 5 stars. Seems to do what I need. If it lasts as long as my smaller one I will be very happy. Haven't owned for long enough to warrant 5 stars.
