Fellowes DM8C Heavy Duty Confetti Paper Shredder

I purshased the Fellows DM8C and it worked for a while then the wear and tear started to occur. If you are like many who want to shred a lot of mail and letters this will only work as you would expect for several years, especially at the cost. The internal drive has plastic teeth that keep the cutting blades properly spaced, and they break causing the unit to jam. It only gets worst after this. We used ours at home and it failed even with lubrication. Look for another brand this was our second Fellow's! S&S

This shredder work exactly how it's suppose to. My only problem that i have with it is that they didn't include a shredder oil for the blades.

Actually this unit does not have metal gears as suggested. After a couple years of modest home use one of the shredder heads quit turning all together. I opened the case to find all the nylon gear teeth lying in the bottom of the gear case. I found this site searching for possible replacement gears. It seems many people have experienced similar problems and replacement gears are not available.

We had a ton of bills and old documents we needed to shred and this little guy did the job. I love that the paper fills up into the basket and you can just slide it out and take it right to the trash. It fits nicely under our desk too.
