Will it Shred? Reviewing the Fellowes 2127M Micro-Cut Shredder

Reviewing the Fellowes 2127M Micro-Cut Shredder

The Fellowes 2127M Micro-Cut Shredder appears to be a solid machine with very competitive specs relative to the competition. Used properly I'm not sure why you wouldn't have this machine for quite some time. Below we break down the individual specs.

Security

Fellowes 2127M Micro-Cut Shredder sports a level 4 security which means that no one is going to be able to read your documents. A level 3 in generally sufficient for most environments but the level 4 provides that extra level of security. An added bonus with this machine is that because the shreds are smaller, they take up less space so you'll be able to shred more paper before you have to dump out the bin. This will save you time and money (when it comes to bags).

Shredable Material

The Fellowes 2127M Micro-Cut Shredder can shred CDs, Credit Cards, DVDs, 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 2127M Micro-Cut Shredder has a 26 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

We love the 10.25 inch throat on this shredder because you can put in odd sized paper and it leaves plenty of breathing room when it comes to regular sized paper. Some of the smaller machines will crumple the paper and eventually jam because the throat opening is just not large enough.

Warranty

The Fellowes 2127M Micro-Cut Shredder comes with a 2 years on machine, 30 years on 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

With an MSRP of $2399.00 this shredder is not the cheapest around but remember to NEVER pay the full amount. You can find discounts of up to 50% off if you look around on the web.
