Fellowes Trituratore Di Carta M-7 Cm

I’ve read the other reviews and totally disagree I believe it’s probably their operator error. I’ve shredded 1000’s + of pages and staples too (once a whole black rubbish bag full - over 2 days) yes it will smoke at times it’s designed to stop working when it heats up to protect the motor, be patient (do something else in the meantime) it will start again by itself in about 15 minutes or so, then back to loading paper before it shuts offs to cool again. Make sure to use the oil on the blades regularly too. If there is a paper jam use the reverse feature. I was totally impressed with its capabilities. Everyone should have one at home, I’m a very happy customer. Thanks

With the FELLOWES M-7CM there is almost no noise and the shredder is guaranteed to destroy small confetti, for a mid-range diagonal cut shredder it is very quiet and discreet, I am surprised. I highly recommend it.

Maximum amount of pages the shredder can handle at once is 3 - any more and it jams. Can only run for about 2 minutes, before overheating and needing about 15 minutes to cool down. Unit has started smoking after shredding 3/4 pages, and smells like it is burning. Will not be purchasing this brand again.
