Fellowes AutoMax 150C Cross-Cut 150-Sheet Commercial Paper Shredder with Auto Feed (4694001)

I wanted a medium capacity shredder for home/home office use that didn't require me to stand around and manually feed it for 2 hours when I batch process my shredding. This is a solid unit that allows you to stack a bunch of paper in the top and then shred it automatically. The feeder mechanism works well - I have not had any issues with it. The only con is that due to the feeder mechanism, it is a little difficult to oil the centermost of the blades, but it just requires being careful. The bin holds quite a bit, and mine came with a few sample bin liners, which are great for keeping shredded paper mess to a minimum.

I selected that shredder because I wanted the auto feed feature And I purchase the "upscale" version that holds 200 pages in the auto feeder. Works as advertised. Quiet. Auto feeder takes staples sheets. Not sure why other reviewers are saying the auto feeder does not work with credit card bills and other pages smaller than 8 1/3 by 11. It does. As long as go put in pile that is all the same size. Works for me because that is joe i file my papers anyway. I would recommend this shredder if you are in the market in this price range and want the auto feed function.

Does a decent job. Not that noisy. Will shred some stapled pages but will tend to stop if pages are to thick. Once you get the feel of what it can handle it runs rather well. I also tend to throw small pieces of paper in the unit and they also shred most of the time if I inter mix them between full sheets. I have a 99ci that works very well but is all hand fed. This allows me to leave, and it will automatically shut down when it finishes the job, and will even shut down when it jams, because I overloaded it with to many thick stapled documents. Nice not to have to be there when its working.

I purchased this in February, 2017. It is now November, and I’ve had a chance to use this for a while. All I can say nice is, “horrible shredder”. This is one of my worst purchases on Amazon, and frankly, I’m embarrassed that I paid this much for this piece of trash. I run a small business out of my home, and I needed a shredder that could shred multiple pages per load. I follow all directions, especially the oiling after dumping requirement, because I want this thing to last and do it’s job efficiently. Well, this is a fail. This doesn’t seem powerful enough to “drop” the shredded paper into the bin effectively, meaning that I am CONSTANTLY opening the bin and “wiping” the tight balls of shredded paper off of the cutters. Also, if you’re shredding perfectly straight paper, you have around a 30% chance of successfully shredding a load, but no guarantee. I even wasted new paper right out of the pack - only around 20 sheets - put that in the stacked bin, aligned with the front, and it STILL bunched up and needed me to not only wipe off the balled up paper on the cutters, but I actually had to reverse and forward and pull paper out! This was paper right out of the pack!!! I had two shredders going, an older model of a different brand that only shreds around 5 sheets at a time, and this one. This one required me to keep stopping to clear, while the other was chewing up paper without missing a beat. The only reason I’m even looking at this today is because I was reviewing my original purchase to see if I got the warranty. This thing is super heavy, so returning it and trying to get the manufacturers warranty is going to be a major hassle, but weighed against the hassle of using this thing, it’s worth it to pursue my money back.

Works perfectly

This shredder was a little more expensive than I wanted to spend, but it is also the best shredder I have ever used. As we hear in the news, do not skimp on the shredder. This one is fast, heavy duty and makes lots of small little pieces that can not be pasted back together. This one feels like it will last forever. Comes with some oil, too, so no need to buy a big tube of it.

Awesome Machine It is amazing how quiet and quick it is.

I’ve used this brand for 10 years. When my Fellowes shredder finally quit, I ordered this one. What a difference in construction! Flimsy plastic slide out tub fits poorly into the chassis and is hard to close completely. After 3 or 4 sheds, it stops with a ‘basket full’ warning. Shreds are piled up in a heap directly under the cutters and don’t settle into or fill the rest of the tub without constant opening and resettling the contents. Unit is way overpriced for construction quality , poor performance, and especially ease of use. I don’t recommend this unit.

Very pleased with this shredder. The automatic sheet feeder is a real time saver. Had a minor issue with the shredder that was shipped and this was addressed promptly by Fellowes. Outstanding product support.

Très bel achat, fonctionne très bien, silencieuse, bonne capacité. rien de négatif

No aguanta, ni 6 meses de uso moderado, y ya no funciona... sin soporte o garantia... no vale los $15,000 pesos pagados

The bin gets filled very quickly. You'd be surprised at how few sheets will fill the bin but really good machine nevertheless. Simple to use, not too noisy.

Top notch !!
