Customer Reviews

Fellowes Powershred 850
I needed a shredder that could work en Masse. This thing is a POWERHOUSE. It shreds fast and works hard. I wish it cross-shredded though, but it does make completely cut small peices. I am very happy

Big 18sheet, CD killing, credit-card destroying, paper-shredding monster!
NOTE: Those of you looking for a cross-cut shredder should look elsewhere. The SB-80 is a strip-cut (long skinny pieces) so if you have identity-theft concerns or need your documents absolutely destroyed, seek other shredders. If you want a strong, quiet, 18 sheet at-a-time killer of paper, read on...

This thing eats 18 sheets of paper at a time! EIGHTEEEN. It eats credit cards. It eats CDs. Paper clips? Ha. This machine doesn't even break a sweat. Staples? Pffft. Not a problem. Those junk mail credit card offers you get in the mail? Feed the entire envelope directly into this shredder.

The SB-80 has a low, throaty rumble when it is running. The volume and pitch didn't increase as I added more paper either. Just a low rumble as it ate more and more paper. Ballpark decibel rating is 68. It was just loud enough to tell you it's working.

There are lots of status LEDs on the front panel that tell you exactly what is happening with the SB-80. The trash bin is a good size but I could see it filling up pretty fast. Power cord is about 2ft long.

The unit is on wheels too so it can roll around from room to room.

Unsure how long it will run before overheating. I fed it about 200 sheets before giving up.

Am very happy with this shredder. Should it do cross-cut? Perhaps...but then it might be louder, more expensive, or have less-capacity (fewer sheets at a time).

Powerful, but I wish it did crosscuts
I got this one to replace another about 5 years old. They do wear out.

The SB-80 is very powerful and takes 17 pages at a gulp, just as promised. The pull-out bin is very nice too--we don't need any bags, just take out the bin and reverse it into a big lawn trash bag.

Negatives:
It's very noisy
It doesn't cross-cut, so it spews out long strips of 1/4" wide paper. This has two drawbacks: the bin fills up faster, as the strips turn into big springs pushing up from the bottom, and of course there's not as much security as there would be with a crosscut machine that creates little chads. I wish I had noticed this drawback, as I probably would have paid a bit more to get a machine that did crosscuts.
