Fellowes Powershred P-12C Review

by

When it comes to paperwork, I tend to SAVE everything. My filing cabinet is full and this past month I have been going through years of saved receipts, bills, statements and other important documents and shredding the things that I really don’t need. Since I don’t throw documents away that have my important information, a paper shredder can come in very handy.

This past month I have had the opportunity to review the Fellowes P-12C Cross-Cut Shredder. Now before I got my hands on this paper shredder, I thought paper shredders were all the same. I thought a paper shredder is just a paper shredder. Little did I know there are heavy duty shredders like the Fellows P-12 that can cut more than just paper. This shredder not only shreds paper, it has the ability to power through credit cards, paper clips, stapes and junk mail without jamming. It is the World’s Toughest Shredders! I love that it can cut credit cards. I don’t thing I will try sticking a paperclip in it, as there is no reason to. I have been able to eliminate a ton of paperwork out of my filing cabinet with this awesome shredder.

Fellowes, Inc. and the Identity Theft Resource Center recommend their top-5 tips for spring cleaning the home office:

  1. Begin with the Basics: Sort through the piles of paperwork on your desk and in your office drawers. Place them into two categories: ‘save’ and ‘shred.’
  2. Proper Storage: Organize the “save” pile into labeled folders and be sure to put anything confidential into a fire-proof lock box. The “shred” pile should be properly disposed of with a Cross-Cut shredder, such as a Fellowes P-12C*. Cross-Cut technology is an important feature for a shredder because it provides high security, destroying confidential information into unidentifiable pieces. Equally important are enhanced safety features, such as Fellowes’ SafeSense technology, which shuts the machine down when hands come too close to the paper opening.
  3. Get a Digital Makeover: Refresh your home office computer by deleting files you no longer use and backing-up important data onto an external hard drive. Clean out your inbox and change all passwords. Refreshing your computer is a good practice to follow throughout the year as well.
  4. Make Life Easier: Plan ahead by purchasing organizational tools for your desk, such as computer risers or file folder holders. This will help clear clutter from your desk top while keeping things within arms reach.
  5. Freshen Up: Get rid of dust and germs that easily build up on office equipment such as keyboards, telephones and cabinets. You’ll feel instantly more productive with a clean workspace

My favorite feature of this Fellowes shredder is the Advanced Safety Feature. This machine is designed to automatically stop when hands tough the paper opening. Since I have a toddler, this makes me feel at a little more at ease having a shredder in my home office.
