Fellowes Powershred C-125Ci - shredder is rated4.49 out of5 by68.
Rated 5 out of 5 byDeidre from A Good ReplacementFor my 2 person office, we purchased the Fellows 125Ci as a replacement for a smaller shredder. Before we had the Fellows Shredder out of the box we could see it was a nice machine. It was easy to set up, came with bags and oil that we were not expecting. With the first use we were impressed at the height of the machine, at the speed and how quiet it was. We quickly emptied of box of papers that had been waiting the arrival of the new shredder. With this new shredder, we vowed to not allow our shredding to get backed up again. Only down fall, the shred cut was not as fine as I was expecting.

Rated 5 out of 5 byBeanbaggirl from A shredder for our needsThis is an excellent product. If there is on thing I would change it would be having the slot centered over the basket more. Alot of paper drops to the back of the container. More than necessary mess to clean up.

Rated 5 out of 5 byFortstreet from Exceedingly fine piece of equipmentI have never purchased a shredder until now, but because of the need to keep personal documents from getting a second life following disposal I decided to get one. And My O My am I satisfied with this purchase. It operates absolutely beautifully. No jams! Quick! Efficient! It's too bad that given the loss of personal identity these days that every home doesn't have one. And if that were the case I'd recommend this product.

Rated 5 out of 5 byPatricia100park from Safety SenseI purchased 2 of these same shredders for my work area of about 12 people. First shredder is always stopping light up safety sense everyone is not happy with this shredder. Second shredder was ordered a few months for a new person who was not at the work area until about a month ago therefore we never opened the shredder--When I opened the shredder it showded top silver chrome piece cracked this was delivered damaged since it was past the 30 day purchase from where I purchased it--I had to wait for an on site person to come look at the cracked piece then wait more for the part to be delivered then for the service technician to come back in to service the brand new unused cracked shredder.

Rated 5 out of 5 bydsperk from Best Shredder I have hadI have owned many less expensive shredders in the past: other Fellows, Kobra, Staples, OfficeMax, etc. All had problems after a lot of use (and sometime less). I was looking for a safe machine that didn't jam, had an excellent warranty, and could handle more than a few pages at a time. Well, I believe I have found that perfect shredder: it had a 3 year warranty, could handle several pages at once without jamming, was relatively quiet, and was safe. The construction was good although I would have preferred that the bin be made of all metal or a heavier plastic.All in all an excellent machine from an innovative company. I am very happy with my purchase!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 bybergloui from Good but some improvements neededI have a lot of experience with shredders that I have used in my home office. I have to do that because of my type of business where I use a lot of paper and to protect confidentiality of my clients and myself. Main problem is the constant message that the bin is full even if it is not. Paper tends to pack on one side of the bin and then you have to reach into the tray and push the paper at the bottom. This creates some dust. Also it could cut a bit smaller.

Rated 5 out of 5 bycyberbob from Solid machineI've had no problems with this shredder in the two months it has been in operation in my home business. I like the desktop height, which means no bending over as with smaller units. It's more expensive that the wastebasket-sized units, but having owned 3 shredders before this one, I recommend the old advice: buy your second (or third) shredder first.

Rated 5 out of 5 byMikeS from First ImpressionJust received and set up. Unit is heavy and sturdy. Ran two folders of papers through, this shredder worked very well without any problems. Eats 10 pages easily, Over loaded once and it tried to unjam itself. Did well but had to manually turn and off twice to clear the jam. It is relatively quiet when shredding and no noise when idle. Smell of unit smells like a Harbor Freight store(natural rubber smell) which I think is great but may be objectionable to some office workers in a small space. Easy to empty and manage shredded paper. Shreds in small strips which settles nicely in large container.

Rated 5 out of 5 bySuzebelle from Quality Product...Delivers Superior PerformanceThe Fellowes C-120Ci 100% Jam Proof Cross-Cut Shredder is a fantastic shredder for our office. The previous shredder we had was very slow and would jam up frequently. When it was time to replace it, we chose to upgrade. After pouring over numerous reviews for cross-cut shredders, we chose to go with the Fellowes C-120Ci, and we have not been disappointed! This particular shredder not only shreds documents quickly and thoroughly, it has not stalled or jammed up once in the four months since it was purchased. It is very easy and safe to operate, and the energy saving feature is a nice addition. The slim housing unit of the shredder makes for a good fit into a small corner of our office. The large capacity shredder bin, which conveniently holds shredder bags, does not have to be emptied nearly as often as our previous shredder required. This shredder may be a bit more expensive than the usual run-of-the mill shredders, but it is a high quality product that delivers superior performance.

Rated 5 out of 5 byhhoeco from great value.This shredder is a workhorse that can handle anything that you can throw at it and will work away until you are finished. I was surprised how quiet is is for such a heavy duty machine. If there are any flaws, I would have to say the bin is a little flimsy and a little small and the shredder head is a little too far over to one side causing buildup on one side.

I don't have the time to watch or pay employees to feed the shredder. I ran the shredder for more than 2 hours shredding our back up, from our cheap shredder that gave out last week. I know once again, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!!! This shredder is so quiet compared to the others we had owned. I can talk on the phone and shred while talking. Never could I hear over the other shredders.

The shredder head is so close to the left side of the machine it drops shredder material on the outside of the basket. You have to sweep up the mess inside the machine and the floor in front of the machine. Had I know this I would not have purchased this machine. I guess it is too late now.

Rated 5 out of 5 byJaffa from Inpressed with performanceObservations after ownership of lest than a week. All the functions and safety items worked as advertised. It was selected and purchased to complete one major shredding task each year, and basic office light duty shredding on a daily basis. In the last week it has succesfully completed the 'major' task for 2012. A stiffer, more solid container box, with a method of securing the plastic container bags, would I feel be a great improvement.

Rated 5 out of 5 byEcon from A solid toolThis shredder handles the paper well, though not as quietly as I expected, given the description. (The old GBC shredder we still use has a quieter, more even sound, compared to the somewhat choppy sound of this new unit.) I am oiling it when we empty the bin, but the sound has not diminished. I recommend turning the unit off when emptying the full bin, or slightly opening it to level out the not-yet-really-full shredded contents. If left on "auto," any paper that hadn't finished shredding will rain down as the bin and bag are removed, leaving a mess to clean up each time. As for design, some way to better hook the bag inside would be an improvement. A few printed words in the manual or packaging about the intent for the wing-nut screws and the placement of the CD basked would be helpful. Overall, the unit does the job we need and hopefully will do so for a long time!

Thanks for your products they are really neat and as I said before they can't be beat.

Rated 5 out of 5 bymsquitor from It's the little thingsGreat cross-cut shredding and handles credit cards and thicker bundles of paper without a problem. We've had a problem with the sensor. It causes the shredder to continue running after the process is finished. Cleaning it helps, but it's much too sensitive. Don't expect to get away cheap by using ordinary recycle trash bags either. Only Fellowes bags work in the custom size bin. You have to be careful to put them in the bin correctly too or you can end up with shredded paper everywhere.

This unit can handle the largest of jobs and has a great capacity bin. It is not a unit to stick under a desk as it is quite large however nothing this powerful comes in a small package. It will not jam and makes sure you can't jam it. It is a quality product that I would definitely buy again.

Rated 5 out of 5 bygstettner from A messy shredder that can shredI haven't had any problems with my shredder shredding. It does what it says it will do. It is, however, a very messy shredder. When I pull out the bin, paper shreds that are hanging down from the shredder are dislodged, falling on the floor and the base of the shredder (see attached#. The shred bin liners do not stay in place #see attached image#, so shredded paper ends up at the bottom of the bin. What's more, static electricity keeps shreds attached to the outside of the bin #see attached image.) Finally, when pulling out the bin, shreds fall onto the floor, requiring a sweeping job.

Rated 5 out of 5 byjwpk from Fellowes 125Ci shredderGreat shredder for the office. The narrow paper opening prevents you from overloading the shredder therefore prevents you from jamming it - extremely useful when multiple users. The only recommendation if Fellowes were to make a change would be to put castors on the shredder to allow you to move it a little easier.

Rated 5 out of 5 byjeffreyw from So far so goodMy last Fellowes shredder 120-C2 was commercial grade and pretty good, but after a few years started having repeated jams despite good maintenance. The 125Ci definitely will shred a slightly thicker stack without jams. Long term performance remains to be seen. The biggest downside is you really have to press the paper deep into the slot to trigger the feed mechanism. Sometimes it requires both hands to keep the stack from spreading apart at the bottom and not feeding in straight.

Rated 5 out of 5 byAliOop from Sleek and quietThis shredder is nice and quiet compared to our old model. It is light & easy to move however the light plastic makes me question the durability of the product. It seems to work well so far and doesn't jam. The quality of the shred is nice whether on paper or cards. My biggest complaint is that this shredder does not have a paper feeder to leave a stack and let it go, instead you do have to stand there and feed it stacks of paper as it goes through them. You do occasionally have to open and shake the drawer as the paper seems to pile much higher in the center which sets off the alert that it's full even though it's not.

These are AMAZING devices. They just work, no matter what. You don't "coddle" it. 20 sheets. Cannot jam. Just oil it periodically. Love it. Customer for life!
