This machine is aweful. We have had it for 5 months and have had the gears replaced twice, and there has been a sensor problem from the beginning. It runs non stop. It has only ran for maybe 10 hours total, with about 100 total fill-ups. It only takes 2-3 papers now or else it jams.

I had it since 2014, so it is about 2.5 years. I haven't had a shredder this good. But I have a small-size business, and we would shred perhaps around average of 100 sheets per day, plus CD's, credit cards, and so on. We have not done any maintenance on it yet.

This Fellowes shredder is a great choice for any workplace that has to go through a lot of paper waste each day. This 225Ci model is a cross cut machine (there is also a 225 model that cuts the paper in strips) which provides a high level of security.
