11 sheet cross cut shredder reduces documents to 5/32′ x 1 3/8′ higher-security confetti particles Shreds credit cards, staples, and paper Medium duty shredder for home and small office use, 880 sheets in 5 minutes Patented safety interlock switch... Designed for light duty shredding in the home or home office, the Fellowes Powershred W-11C reduces documents to 5/32″ x 2″ higher-security confetti particles, and shreds up to 11 sheets per pass. I’ve replaced enough shredders that I figured it would probably save money in the long run to get a top-of-the-line shredder and pay out the $160 instead of replacing the shoddy ones as they break down. If you shred perhaps 2 to 10 things per day, this is the ideal unit for you (especially if you don’t like having to open junk mail envelopes before shredding ‘em. ). It does handle CD’s and credit cards, as well as cardstock. The bin is under the shredder, and to empty it you have to lift the shredder. Like all Bosch tools I own this one is smooth as butter and there is absolutely no vibration (so you won’t get tired). I own several Bosch routers (1716EVS’s) and a 5″ Random Orbit Sanders (3725DEVS), in my book they are the best in their class. I was trying to decide between it and another Fellowes “small business” class shredder that was on sale for $160, three times the price of the w-11c. On the other hand, the shredder always fits right back into the top of the bin, so you won’t have to worry with bin placement issues. That junk mail and those papers have been accumulating for 6 months, going in a big “shred it when you get a new shredder box. Changing papers is real easy, the sander is easy to handle and you don’t get tired from vibration or noise. The construction is solid, safety features are great (the additional child safety lock on the top is really secure and impossible to override), and this thing can take whatever you throw at it, within reason. Equipped with a 9″ wide paper entry, the W-11C easily accepts standard letter or legal size documents. Shredder has lift off lid for easy emptying. I don’t run a home business, I just have lots of junk mail, canceled checks, and other personal documents I’d rather not leave in the trash for thieves to steal. It definitely handles the advertised “11 sheet” capacity, though it does so with some protest and a very noticeable slowing of the shred speed. All in all, I’m very happy I saved $110 and went with the w-11c instead of the business-class unit. This is generally cleaner than a removable bin below, but paper shreds do fly around a bit. As much as logic and reason said it was the right thing to do, I couldn’t make myself do it. Instead, I bought the w-11c, in part based on the decent reviews I’ve seen on here. Electronic auto start/stop features ensures quick easy automatic shredder operation. It packs down well, and when we use it like straw in the yard or garden, it stays down. Today alone, I had to empty the bin 9 times… and its still running great. I just couldn’t bring myself to spend $160 on a shredder, though....
