We recently took a look at the Fellowes c-220 PowerShred 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 c-220 PowerShred Strip-Cut Shredder can shred CDs, Credit Cards, Paper, Paper Clips Tre'Quan Smith Jersey , Staples. If you need to be able to shred something else then we recommend that you look at a larger machine andor look for something with a little bit lower security (the higher the security the less likelihood that the machine shreds something other than paper).
Continuous Motor
This shredder is rated for continuous operation. That means that theoretically you could shred all day long and the machine would not have to shut-down to cool off. Remember that results may vary under real-world operating conditions and things such as the temperature of the room will affect the ability of this motor to stay cool and continue to shred. We give this machine 2 pats on the back for being rated continuous duty and we know that you'll appreciate this feature in due time.
Bin Size
With a 15 gallon bin, the Fellowes c-220 PowerShred Strip-Cut Shredder can hold a bit more shred than the smallest machines out there, but you'll still be finding yourself emptying the bin fairly frequently. It is great if you need something to fit in a smaller space, but if you shred frequently we recommend jumping up in bin size.
Throat Size
The 9.5 inch throat on this machine gives you a little bit of breathing room when you're shredding regular size paper and the option to shred a few odd shaped things. If you really have large paper Marcus Williams Jersey , then you'll need to look at machine with something larger than a 10" throat.
Auto Oiler
This machine does not come with an auto-oiler and does not have the option to have one installed. Although automatic oilers are not necessary to maintain your machine, they do take the guess-work out of maintenance. Don't hold it against the machine though as you can easily oil the machine yourself on regular intervals.
Warranty
The 3 years on Machine - Lifetime on Cutting Heads on the Fellowes c-220 PowerShred Strip-Cut Shredder is one of the best in the industry so rest assured that you are covered. Just make sure that you oil your machine and avoid inserting any foreign object in the cutting heads and you'll be just fine!
Price
With an MSRP of $899.00 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.
