Last verified by the Lifetime Picks Editorial Team

Why we picked it

18-sheet capacity per pass

Warranty: 2-year limited warranty + 10-year cutter warrantyMade in: China

Fellowes' Powershred 99Ci is the small office / home office paper shredder that handles a real workload, 18 sheets per pass, continuous run capacity (vs the 5 min then cool down cycle of consumer shredders), and 100% jam proof (the SafeSense feature stops the cutter when fingers touch the feed slot). The crosscut output produces 5/32" x 1 1/2" particles, secure enough for HIPAA / personal financial records. r/OfficeProducts, r/declutter, and r/Privacy all surface the Fellowes Powershred series as the BIFL shredder, owners report 10+ year service lives where consumer shredders die in 2-3 years. The cutter teeth are sharpenable with the Fellowes oil sheets (sold separately) and the bin is 9 gallons (sized for weekly office shredding).
