subject: A Review Of The Fellowes Powershred C-220ci Paper Shredder [print this page] Fellowes PowerShred paper shredders are some of the best shredders you can buy if you're concerned about document security. One of their new PowerShred products is the C-220Ci, a device that was designed for use by up to 5 people in a small office setting. This product is capable of continuous shredding and has anti-jam features. Plus, it offers a terrific level of security and is very safe to use. Here are the C-220Ci's strengths - and a couple of its weaknesses - so you can decide if this particular product is the right shredder for your workplace.
Strengths:
* The C-220Ci has a continuous-duty motor for non-stop shredding. It can shred up to 20 pieces of a paper per pass, which is a great amount, and it has a 9.5-inch feed opening. Credit cards and CD's/DVD's can also be destroyed with this machine and there is a separate opening for these items. There is a 16-gallon waste bin for your scraps.
* This is a cross-cut machine that will turn your items into pieces that measure 5/32" x 1-1/2". Thanks to this capability, this shredder has been given a Level 3 security rating.
* Each unit contains Fellowes' patented Auto-Oil system that will take care of the oiling of your shredder. This will be one less thing for you to worry about and it will ensure your machine stays in great shape.
* To prevent the motor from overheating, the C-220Ci will shut itself off and go into sleep mode when it hasn't been used for two minutes.
* This machine is very safe to use because it's equipped with Fellowes' popular SafeSense feature which will shut the shredder off if it determines that hands (and other appendages) are too close to the feed opening.
* Paper jams will be a very rare occurrence with the C-220Ci because it has a couple of anti-jam features, including a button you can press to force jammed paper through the shredder. There is also an indicator that will let you know if you're trying to shred too much paper at once.
* This device has sleek, modern looks so it will look great in your office. There are casters on the bottom of the machine so you can move it easily.
Weaknesses:
* Although a Level 3 security rating is great for most users, a machine with a higher rating would be a wiser choice if you need to shred documents containing top-secret information.
* The C-220Ci cannot shred floppy disks or other types of electronic media, except CD's and DVD's.
Overall, the Fellowes PowerShred C-220Ci is a first-rate paper shredder that has a wonderful array of first-rate features. It's fantastic that Fellowes made this machine so safe and easy to use while giving it the ability to shred more than just paper. So if your office is in need of a safe shredder that's packed with great features, it's a no-brainer: the C-220Ci should definitely be at the top of your list.
