Do you have someone in your family or close friends who is graduating from college? Â Anyone starting a new job, possibly moving to a new apartment, will have tons of paper that they are finished with and need to destroy. Â You don’t want to simply throw personal documents in the trash where they can end up in the wrong hands. Â Everyone needs a shredder – it’s become a staple office supply.
Perhaps someone you know is setting up a home office. Â That’s where my Fellowes shredder is, along with a paper cutter, heavy duty stapler, pens, pencils and other office supplies. Â Your home office isn’t complete without a quality shredder. Â More and more grads are finding first jobs that are telecommutes with their home base literally in their home. Â With a computer, you can communicate with your boss even if they are across the country.
Why Fellowes? Â I’ve owned other brand shredders in the past and have come to appreciate the quality of a Fellowes. Â If you’ve ever dealt with a paper jam in a shredder, you know what I mean. Â The Fellowes M-12C is the one I’m using now and I absolutely love it. Â It’s a beast for shredding stacks of paper with staples and even paper clips. Â It shreds up to 12 sheets per pass – that’s a big stack! Â With a reverse feature, I have never had a paper jam and mine has seen heavy use in the last few months that I’ve owned it.
Did you know that Fellowes was founded in 1917 by Harry Fellowes and headquartered in Itasca, Illinois? Â Fellowes, Inc. employs more than 1,500 people throughout the world and has operations in sixteen countries.
The slim design of a Fellowes M-12C also makes it a great choice for a dorm room, as well as a home office. Â If you are looking for a great gift for someone who is heading off to college or setting up their study space at home, a Fellowes M-12C is a perfect selection!
I have a small dog and a 9 year old daughter that often play in my home office while I’m working and it’s important to me to have a safe paper shredder.  I don’t want to worry that they will potentially be hurt by anything in my office.  The Fellowes M-12C has SafeSense® Technology – an auto shut off when hands (or paws) touch the paper opening.
I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how infrequently I have to empty the shredder bin on the Fellowes M-12C. Â It is a 4 gallon bin and I find that it holds a lot of shredded paper.
Summing up, the features of the Fellowes M-12c include:
â—‹ Cross-Cut blades that destroy 12 sheets of paper into approximately 302 particles per sheet for greater security
○ SafeSense® Technology which automatically disables the shredder when hands touch the paper opening
â—‹ The ability to shred credit cards, paper clips, staples and junk mail for added convenience
â—‹ Shreds for 5 minutes before automatic cool down
The M-12C is available at Target Stores nationwide and Target.com with a suggested retail price of $99.99.
My husband could sure use a shredder. This looks to be a good one of high-quality. Great price too! Thank-you for the information & review. :)
