Avoid Fellowes at all cost.

The shredded paper bunches up around the cutters. It requires a small screwdriver to scrape out. Eventually the shreds wrap around the bar between the cutters. As they gain mass they force the plastic insertion guides out of alignment, preventing any paper insertion. This was used in my wifes office and in our home. Relatively small jobs. Both of these units developed these problems in eight months. I will look for a different manufacturer. Otherwise, it shreds well and handles staples fine. I also feel however the shreds are easily reassembled, and when passing on this product one should also search for a confetti type shredder.
