Questions & Answers

Mary K : Is there a pile-up in bin causing shredder to stop and say bin is full when it is not--causing user to push shredded material down? Do you have to use a liner to catch shredded material? Is there a cool down period involved?HYMAN L : 1) I did not have any pile up problem with this shredder. 2) I use the liners that were included with the shredder, i don't think it is necessary though. 3) NO cool down period, it is really non-stop. We use it in a office of 7 people and 3 of us are using it a lot, and we are thrilled with this shredder.LINDA B : 1. Sometimes it does, all I did just shake the bin and it will work fine until its really full. 2. I always use liner. 3. I never reach any cool down period until the bin is full and I usually shred a lot of paper every time i use it.JULIEN L : Hi Mary, We've had pretty good success with this shredder. I would not say that there is anything that causes the shredder to say it is full if it is not. As for the liner it is optional and if there is a cool down we have yet to reach it. However our work with it is not too intensive we've worked with it for 10mins straight (no stopping at all) and it seems to work fine. Other than that we use it at regular intervals throughout the day and so far so good (bought it middle of last year). The stuff we shred is card stock material and we try not to max out the 20 sheets. I've had good luck with Fellowes shredders overall and its a really good value on adorama. JGERI F : Mary K There is a pile-up in the bin when the container is not full. It is dry and the static makes the shredded paper hang around the sensors. We do have a liner in the container to catch shredded material for ease in disposing of shredded material. Have not experienced any cool down issures.ISABELLA S : Yes, we always use a liner to catch the shredded material. Yes, the shredder stops when the bin is not full; however, if you continue to push down the shredded material, by the time you are ready to remove the liner, you will find a lot of the shredded material has gone over the back of the bin. When you remove the bin, you will have an enormous mess to clean up. If our staff does push down the shredded material because they have a little more to shred, I've instructed them to replace the liner once they've completed their shredding. The more you push down the shredded material, the harder it is going to be to remove the liner as it gets very heavy. I hope this helps.

Bardzo dobra niszczarka!!

Bardzo dobry stosunek jakosci do ceny. Niszczy 24 kartki na raz, jak si? przytnie, sama cofa i poprawia. Cudo. Obudowa w wi?kszo?ci metalowa, tylko drzwiczki i cz??? góry to plastik. To ju? jest niszczarka pó?-przemyslowa. Du?a i ci??ka (oko?o 40 -50 kg). Du?y kosz - 60 litrów. O to chodzi?o, nie trzeba co chwile opró?nia?. Polecam.

best shredder ever

I have purchased more than one Fellowes shredder and have never been disappointed. Keeping your shredder maintained is a key factor to great performance, time and time again. No complaints!

Below average quality

We just received this new Fellowes 225Ci paper shredder and are EXTREMELY disappointed that the internal paper bin supplied as it is made of CARDBOARD rather than the expected plastic bin. We could not find replacement cardboard bins as an option on the consumables list for this product. A plastic bin is essential for the expected usage (commercial) especially given the price range. VERY VERY disappointed.

Amazing

We had an initial Fellowes Power Shredder that was purchased in 2000! It finally died...our new shredder is even better and I am glad we got another Fellowes shredder. The best product for the best price!

Replacement purchase

I purchased the shredder because our much older model finally died -- it too was a Fellowes. I am so pleased with the quiet operation and the ease of use, I would recommend this unit.

Great shredder

Great shredder, we use this at the office. Its jam free which is a plus in an office where paper is constantly being shredded. It does a great job at shredding paper ( more of a mince than a shred). Wish it were a bit quieter.

Great looking machine

Well I've only used this shredder for two days so far. It is very quiet and efficient. I'm hoping it will be the workhorse it was advertised to be. Noticed that when you continuously feed papers in one after the other it want's to stop and wait. Maybe have to get used to this one vs my Staples shredder. The jury is out until I've had more continuous usage.

Durable shredder

We had the same model previously but it was the strip shredder. This we purchased cross shreds. Other one worked very well for about 10 years. hoping this one will last as long if not longer.

Not A Good Purchase...

The shredder was working good for 11mnths and then started acting up. It can't take high volume as advertised. I called up customer service and was told to clean the scensors and that didn't work. Full bin light stays on when there's nothing in the basket. I called back for a service call and they couldn't tell me who would be calling me and that it would take 1-3 business days for just a phone call. Really bad customer service. We need this shredder ASAP, our shredding is piling up quickly. :(

It can be more quiet.

I bought this because the reviews mentioned it was quiet. Fellowes advertises that it is "ultra-quiet" but do not agree. I normally work around very loud machines and so to be able to hear this through it is disappointing. I guess my expectations were to high or it is just overly advertised on it's silent functionality. Overall though, this machine will do far more than the older Fellowes model we had PS-10Cs. This model overheated often and was not able to keep up with the amount of shredding we do nowadays. BTW I did not realize I was buying the same brand.

This shredder works wonderful for our office. It handles multiple users using it throughout the day. It can hold a lot of paper in the waster canister and doesn't jam. Just what we needed!

Best Purchase

Bought this shredder for our office to replace an older one. We selected this model based on the caster wheels, waste capacity, shred capacity and the continuous shredding capability. Have had no issues with this since we bought it. Very quiet and easy to operate. Also liked the fact it will shred credit cards, staples, paper clips and CD's/DVD's.

Second times the charm

The first shredder that arrived wouldn't work unless the door was shut really hard. With a phone call to the manufacturer, we learned that it had a bad circuit board. Customer Service was great, the were able to send us a replacement within about 10 days. That one has worked fine so far. It is nice and quiet and does a good job. Our one complaint is that the basket for the shredded documents appears to be made of heavy cardboard. This was a surprise because the shredder was quite expensive and should have been made of heavier duty materials.

Powershred 225Ci

This is our second Fellowes Powershred product for the office, the first one was a strip cut and very small. After many years of use well worth the money spent we needed to get a new one and decided to upgrade. Love the cross cut feature and the indicators of too many sheets of paper. Hopefully this will prevent jams in the future. Very compact for the work the shredder does and it is very quiet compared to the old one. Nice that it came with a few bags so we could start using it right away, as well as the oil and a good user guide. My only concern is for the cardboard box for the paper, hopefully it will last a long time or we can get a replacement should it get damaged. Looking forward to hopefully many years of usage.

We have now purchased our second of this type and are very pleased with the performance. We have only had Fellows shredders and would probably not switch to any other. The product service is great, as well as the service from Fellows.

Nice Product

Recently purchased the 225CI for the cross-cut feature as the one previously in use was a straight cut. As recently obtained this shredder it has to date been operating well - no issues. A nice surprise, the 225Ci came with a bottle of oil as the 225i we were using did not. I am disappointed in the shred bin that was supplied with this 225Ci shredder - a heavy-thick cardboard carton for the bin. This was disappointing as the 225i we were using had a heavier corrugated type bin that is much sturdier/construction than this heavy-thick cardboard. Makes you wonder exactly how long this will last with the on-going emptied of the shred bin. How soon we will be seeking a shred bin replacement. The other disappointment, the 225i had a "separate" bin for the shredded CD's. The 225Ci does not. Any shredded CD's are now mixed in with the shredded paper. With the price paid, would think there would be a better constructed shred bin and would include the CD shred bin. Other than these two concerns, the shredder works as expected. Recommend? Yes, would purchase another, and would recommend to others.
