We bought Fellows Powershred 220 strip-cut machine after going through about three cross cut shredder from different companies within about two years time, this machine does the job, it is quiet, does not jam because it is built solid and cuts the paper in strips. After going through so much pain with other shredders we have found the one which will work for us. I would definitely recommend this Shredder. Just make sure you buy correct size bags for it, the bag Amazon recommends does not fit. Plain old garbage bag fits this machine just fine and saves you some money.

We bought this shredder for heavy duty use. Shortly thereafter, my spouse fed in some junk mail and encountered a jam. He was able to retrieve part of the envelope but could not otherwise free up the cutting blades. He called for support but did nothing further. When I returned home and looked at the part of the envelope that remained, I noticed that the word "nickel" was on the front of the envelope. He had tried to shred an envelope containing a nickel from a charity. We used a pliers to remove the nickel from between the blades and the shredder is continuing to work beautifully. As a bonus, we have a very unique nickel that has teeth marks on it.
