The Fellowes AutoMax 100M Micro-Cut Paper Shredder combines the best of manual and automatic shredding with design-forward features to make shredding productive and frustration-free. Adaptive to your specific needs, the 100M lets you choose between manually shredding 10 sheets at a time for quick, smaller jobs, or simply leaving up to 100 sheets in the document feed to be shredded automatically and hands-free. Combining versatility with superior security, the AutoMax 100M shreds more than paper – the powerful blades can also shred credit cards, staples and paper clips into 5/32” x 25/64” micro-cut particles. Your workday shouldn’t be interrupted by jams or noise, which is why the intuitive Auto Reverse feature detects when a jam is occurring, then automatically stops and reverses the paper flow. SilentShred delivers ultra-quiet performance, so shredding in shared workspaces doesn’t cause disruptions. And to boost shredding productivity even further, you can shred continuously for up to 15 minutes. The AutoMax 100M even has an LED indicator, which quickly tells you when it is time to empty the 6-gallon pull-out bin. Designed for long-term reliability in demanding office environments, the AutoMax 100M Micro-Cut Auto Feed shredder is backed with a 2-year product warranty, plus a 7-year cutter warranty.

Title: Works Great
Review: I have had my Fellows shredder for quite some time now, but I just decided to give it a review. We installed it in our home office and we really can't imagine not having it. So many items you just don't want to just tear something up and this shredder really does the job. I can either use the automatic feeder and place a stack of papers in it or use the single sheet feeder and place up to 5 sheets; but either way, the job gets done. I love it and give it a 5.

Title: Horrible!
Review: I purchased this in February, 2017. It is now November, and Iâve had a chance to use this for a while. All I can say nice is, âhorrible shredderâ. This is one of my worst purchases on Amazon, and frankly, Iâm embarrassed that I paid this much for this piece of trash. I run a small business out of my home, and I needed a shredder that could shred multiple pages per load. I follow all directions, especially the oiling after dumping requirement, because I want this thing to last and do itâs job efficiently. Well, this is a fail. This doesnât seem powerful enough to âdropâ the shredded paper into the bin effectively, meaning that I am CONSTANTLY opening the bin and âwipingâ the tight balls of shredded paper off of the cutters. Also, if youâre shredding perfectly straight paper, you have around a 30% chance of successfully shredding a load, but no guarantee. I even wasted new paper right out of the pack - only around 20 sheets - put that in the stacked bin, aligned with the front, and it STILL bunched up and needed me to not only wipe off the balled up paper on the cutters, but I actually had to reverse and forward and pull paper out! This was paper right out of the pack!!! I had two shredders going, an older model of a different brand that only shreds around 5 sheets at a time, and this one. This one required me to keep stopping to clear, while the other was chewing up paper without missing a beat. The only reason Iâm even looking at this today is because I was reviewing my original purchase to see if I got the warranty. This thing is super heavy, so returning it and trying to get the manufacturers warranty is going to be a major hassle, but weighed against the hassle of using this thing, itâs worth it to pursue my money back.

Title: Great shredder!
Review: Itâs so nice not to have to manually feed the papers through. I use mine without a bag because the bag just gets full too quickly and does not stay secure. I just dump it into our recyclable container on garbage day. Wish it cut the pieces a little smaller but thatâs my error for not reading more closely. Overall itâs a great product!

Title: Would buy again
Review: I have owned several different shredders. My last one was a Fellowes. Since the thing lasted so many years, I decided on another Fellowes, though this one is an upgrade. Wow. I am fully impressed. The automatic document feed makes shredding large volumes easy. I am shredding so much more quickly than before. The microcut makes me feel more secure about the paper waste; no one will want to put these confetti back together.I haven't shredded credit cards, but I did put in paperclips (manual feed). Most of my statements came folded in envelopes and are not flat when unfolded. The automatic feed took care of them. When the bin is full, it tells me. I just pull it out and empty; the top does not need to be lifted. It ran for quite a long time before overheating. We just have to let it rest for half an hour and then it's ready to roll again.This was a great purchase. I would buy it again.

Title: Shreds to a level that nobody's going to put this back together.
Review: Good security. Small cross shredding. I particularly like the feed option. I can put a stack of items in and just ignore it while it shreds. So far, very reliable.

Title: Barclay's Breaks sells used goods
Review: Barclay's Breaks sold me a refurbished unit as "NEW" as is reflected on my invoice. They will not warranty after 1 year, but a new one is warrantied by the manufacturer for two years. I called Fellowes, gave them the serial# and model# they said the numbers indicate it to be a two year old refurbished unit as of purchase date. So they do not warranty refurbished units. So I was sold "a bit of goods" by Barclay's Breaks. They told me it was not the first time that Barclay's has been found to do this exact same thing. DO NOT BUY FROM Braclay's!!

Title: She's not petite
Review: My prior shredder was a Fellows and lasted for years! So I went with the same manufacturer. I wasn't sure about the price point (not cheap) but with today's market, I knew a good product would cost more that $150. I am very happy with many elements of this shredder (it's very quiet). The self feeder is nice too. It is larger than my last, especially for a home product, but I anticipate use for years to come. High hopes on my ROI.

Review: Very pleased with this shredder. The automatic sheet feeder is a real time saver. Had a minor issue with the shredder that was shipped and this was addressed promptly by Fellowes. Outstanding product support.
