Unlike the toy shredders you see everywhere this one can handle everyday use in a busy accounting office. Some weeks we shred 3-4000 sheets of paper. I did have a problem with the cutter seperators that Fellowes fixed after warranty period, for free. They tell me the new design of the cutters won't have the same problem and the replacement has been working perfect for over a year.

I've had this shredder in my office for a little over 2 years and it's way overdue for a replacement. There is a gap inbetween the collection bin and the holder it is in, so shreddings collect behind the bin until it pushes the bin out. Jamming is a problem and we don't feel comfortable feeding more than 3-4 sheets in at a time. When we first purchased this unit (a very long time ago), it was approved for CDs, now it apparently is not. Also this machine has starting making this loud grinding noise that almost hurts my ears when shredding papers. We are purchasing the C-420C and hope that it will be a better preformer. I guess you get what you pay for!

WAY COOL SHREDDER! Let me explain. I tried several "Staples" brand, micro cut shredders, and was happy with the results, but very unhappy that they could not provide continuous duty! I researched, even called Fellowes, about what they had to offer, and this was the result: their C-120C "Binford 2000" cross cut shredder. The only complaint is the waste bin is attached to the door, and it is made out of cheap material, probably with slave labor. Another issue is watch out who you tell. I told co-workers about getting this for my private use, and EVERYONE laughed at me! Scooter said he would use his cheap $20 dollar shredder until it started to smoke! Lizzie-Lou just sat there and smiled. Techno-Matt offered to shred ALL of my paper for my ENTIRE LIFE for $200.00; yet HE is the one who runs out and gets his little EYE-PHONE, EYE-MAC, DROBO (not yet), Hi-Tech-Bicycle (does he ride it?), etc., but that is another story. My "work-wife", Jen, remained in her cube, providing no feedback, but she is like a mercat on Mercat Manor...pipes up and chatters away when something interesting happens. Her real husband and I agree eye-to-eye, and that is get the best you can afford, and buy it ONCE! Hopefully, this shredder is the answer to that mantra! I will keep you posted as to its performance!
