Comments on a recent article we stumbled across: The Clutter Diet Blog: The Rules About Paper
Anyone who has used a shredder more than once has experienced the frustration of the shredder jamming, beeping and taking up more time than necessary. In fact, the number one complaint about personal shredders is they jam too easily. Fellowes has come to our rescue by creating a new line of shredders that is 100% jam proof to rid us of the dreaded shredder issues, or so it seems.
On the Fellowes website there is a video demo of an office employee determined to jam the Fellowes 100% jam proof shredder. During that demo he shreds a paperclip without jamming the machine. You may also find under product details on websites that sell the shredders, paperclips can be run through the machine without a hiccup. That is a bit misleading. In the manual for the Fellowes shredders, under the section of, what the shredder cannot shred is large paperclips. As it turns out, this shredder is 100% jam proof as long as you do not shred anything that will jam the machine. Other items on that list include adhesive labels, transparencies, newspaper, cardboard, laminates, file folders, X-rays or plastic other than CDs, DVDs, and credit cards.
For those who have $400 to spend on their home office shredder, the Fellowes 100% jam proof shredder is a great option. But, if a company is looking for a more efficient and cost saving alternative to their current office shredders, hiring a certified mobile shredding service to do the work for them is a much better option.
