By: Mono Machines Security At a level 3 security, this cross-cut shredder gets the job done. Although there are higher levels of security, a level 3 machine provides a sufficiently small cut size to put your identity theft worries to bed. We also like the cross-cut because it takes up much less space which means that you won’t have to empty your bin as frequently as you would with a strip-cut machine. There is really no reason to jump up to a level 4 machine unless you have some ultra-sensitive documents you need destroyed. Shredable Material The Fellowes 225Ci Jam Proof Cross-Cut Shredder can shred CDs, Credit Cards, Paper, Paper Clips & Staples. If you need to be able to shred something else then we recommend that you look at a larger machine and/or 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 The Fellowes 225Ci Jam Proof Cross-Cut Shredder has a 16 gallon bin. We’re happy with this size because it will give you a bit more time between emptying your bin. Although the size may make it difficult to fit this shredder in a tight space, it’s always worth it in the long run to get a bigger bin size and move your office around a bit. 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, then you’ll need to look at machine with something larger than a 10” throat. Warranty The Fellowes 225Ci Jam Proof Cross-Cut Shredder comes with a 2 Yr Machine / Lifetime Cutter. This means that you have plenty of time to test out the machine and make sure that everything is running smoothly. Just make sure to properly care for your machine and you shouldn’t have any issues. Price The MSRP is $1,449.98 but you can find it for much less online if you look around. Don’t let the price deter you until you do a little bit of comparison shopping first.
