We recently took a look at the Fellowes Powershre Coated sheet factory 14-Sheet Strip-Cut Shredder. Overall the machine is quite nice but I'll let you be the judge after you see the pros and cons below. Always remember that the stated specs of a machine do not always translate precisely to a real-world environment.

Security

This is the second lowest level of security available rated at a 2. This strip-cut shredder is a tad better than a level 1 machine but not a whole lot. If you are really concerned about the information on your documents then we highly recommend that you start looking at some of the cross-cut machines. The one benefit of the strip-cut machine is that you can shred faster and more pages per pass. Just make sure that you are choosing the right security level for your needs.

Shredable Material

The Fellowes Powershred® 70S 14-Sheet Strip-Cut Shredder can shred Paper, CDs, DVDs, Paper Clips, Staples, Credit Cards. If you need to be able to shred something else then we recommend that you look at a larger machine and/or look for something with a little bit lower security (the higher the security the less likelihood that the machine shreds something other than paper).

Bin Size

At 7 gallons, the Fellowes Powershred® 70S 14-Sheet Strip-Cut Shredder is a personal/deskside machine. You won't be wholesale Coated sheet manufacturers able to shred too much before you have to empty it, but presumably you won't be shredding that frequently. If you will, we recommend that you jump up to something with a bigger bin size.

Warranty

The Fellowes Powershred® 70S 14-Sheet Strip-Cut Shredder comes with a 1-year product and service warranty, plus 5 years on cutters. This means that you have plenty of time to test out the machine and make sure that everything is running smoothly. Just make sure to properly care for your machine and you shouldn't have any issues.

Price

With an MSRP of $339.98 this shredder is not the cheapest around but remember to NEVER pay the full amount. You can find discounts of up to 50% off if you look around on the web.
