Fellowes LX70-RS 11 Sheet Cross Cut Personal Paper Shredder

When you first turn on the Fellows LX70 shredder it is very loud. Maybe because there is no noise right now for me. I’ve used a shredder before so I feel like this one is a bit loud. I believe it is warming up. It seems pretty powerful. I was able to shred 11 pages at a time. Also when I insert the papers there were times I didn’t put them in very straight and the shredder still shredded the pages perfectly. I even had a few medical cards that needed shredding and it did great. I’d like to point out though when taking the top part out of the box be careful when grabbing it as you might poke yourself with the medal. As I did. There is no styrofoam or anything to cover the “teeth” of the shredder. Over all I’d say this is a great product with great quality and I was able to get rid of many documents with personal information on it! I like that it has lock on it so it won’t be misused by children. This shredder also indicates when it’s needs a cool down period. I was able to shred 100 pages in total easily without needing a cool down period.

This is one of the most powerful shredders I've ever seen outside of a commercial setting. I can shred whole envelopes of mail, credit cards, card stock and coupon mailers. Very well made, solid construction with a fairly large capacity bin. Full window allows you to see internal contents so you don't overfill it. Has a locking switch to prevent accidental activation. Reverse switch also allows lubrication of blades. Says it can operate for 5 minutes before needing to rest. I didn't need it to run that long so I'll take their word for it. Bright white light indicates power is on. Also has a light to let you know when it's hot but again I didn't let it get that far. 11 sheet shred limit is very impressive for home shredder. Paper and cards must be loaded into the center in order to activate blades. Excellent document shredder!
