" I owned a Fellowes shredder for a little over two years, and I "ran it hard in the fast lane." I do a mountainous amount of shredding for both personal and business applications, and I LOVE to sit down on Saturday mornings, watch an episode or two of a favorite recorded TV show...and shred...and shred...and shred.
When I decided to get a larger, more heavy-duty shredder, I knew it would just be an upgraded Fellowes model. "

" Based on my previous experience with Fellowes shredders, I decided to purchase another Fellowes shredder that was more powerful and would shred more papers at one time. This shredder more than meets my expectations. I have used it over the past week to shred all my personal papers from 1995 through 2003 and it has not failed me once. It is a great shredder for the price. "

" Love this SB 125 Ci Fellowes Shredder! I purchased this shredder because my old one went to Shredder Heaven. The first thing that I noticed about this Fellowes shredder was the slick design. Then when I started to shred , I loved how quiet this machine sounded to my ears. Next, was how easy it was to toss the shredded paper into the trash! I plan on being a loyal Fellowes Follower with their products "Forever After!" "

" Fellowes shredders are the best, I mean hands down they beat the rest. We got it in the office yesterday and a bag got full and taken away. It's better than the one we had before and I'm sure it will still be working when we close the door.
The way it works is really cool and it is attractive too. The guys I work with are in awe because a Fellowes beats them all. I'd recomend the brand to anyone and I'd tell them that working it is lots of fun. Thanks for your products they are really neat and as I said before they can't be beat.

" I have never purchased a shredder until now, but because of the need to keep personal documents from getting a second life following disposal I decided to get one. And My O My am I satisfied with this purchase. It operates absolutely beautifully. No jams! Quick! Efficient! It's too bad that given the loss of personal identity these days that every home doesn't have one. And if that were the case I'd recommend this product. "

" The Fellowes C-120Ci 100% Jam Proof Cross-Cut Shredder is a fantastic shredder for our office. The previous shredder we had was very slow and would jam up frequently. When it was time to replace it, we chose to upgrade. After pouring over numerous reviews for cross-cut shredders, we chose to go with the Fellowes C-120Ci, and we have not been disappointed! This particular shredder not only shreds documents quickly and thoroughly, it has not stalled or jammed up once in the four months since it was purchased. It is very easy and safe to operate, and the energy saving feature is a nice addition. The slim housing unit of the shredder makes for a good fit into a small corner of our office. The large capacity shredder bin, which conveniently holds shredder bags, does not have to be emptied nearly as often as our previous shredder required. This shredder may be a bit more expensive than the usual run-of-the mill shredders, but it is a high quality product that delivers superior performance. "

Cons: buildup of chad can cause false full indication..
" Works great,, but i have two issues. When shredding a lot of documents, the chad can build up in a pile and cause a false full indication. While this is easy to fix by stirring the chad in the bin with my hand, I really shouldn't have to do this. My second issue is that it is hard to guage the size of a stack of paper that will not jam the feeder. The indicator assumes a uniform thickness of paper. "
