We recently took a look at the Fellowes C-325i Jam Proof Strip-Cut Shredder.Overall the machine is quite nice but I'll let you be the judge afteryou see the pros and cons below. Always remember that the stated specsof a machine do not always translate precisely to a real-worldenvironment.SecurityThis is the second lowest level of security available rated at a 2.This strip-cut shredder is a tad better than a level 1 machine but nota whole lot. If you are really concerned about the information on yourdocuments then we highly recommend that you start looking at some ofthe cross-cut machines. The one benefit of the strip-cut machine isthat you can shred faster and more pages per pass. Just make sure thatyou are choosing the right security level for your needs.Shredable MaterialThe Fellowes C-325i Jam Proof Strip-Cut Shreddercan shred CDs, Credit Cards, DVDs, Paper, Paper Clips. If you need tobe able to shred something else then we recommend that you look at alarger machine and/or look for something with a little bit lowersecurity (the higher the security the less likelihood that the machineshreds something other than paper).Continuous MotorThis shredder is rated for continuous operation. That means thattheoretically you could shred all day long and the machine would nothave to shut-down to cool off. Remember that results may vary underreal-world operating conditions and things such as the temperature ofthe room will affect the ability of this motor to stay cool andcontinue to shred. We give this machine 2 pats on the back for beingrated continuous duty and we know that you'll appreciate this featurein due time.Bin SizeThe Fellowes C-325i Jam Proof Strip-Cut Shredderhas a 22 gallon bin. We're happy with this size because it will giveyou a bit more time between emptying your bin. Although the size maymake it difficult to fit this shredder in a tight space, it's alwaysworth it in the long run to get a bigger bin size and move your officearound a bit.Throat SizeThe 9.5 inch throat on this machine gives you a little bit ofbreathing room when you're shredding regular size paper and the optionto shred a few odd shaped things. If you really have large paper, thenyou'll need to look at machine with something larger than a 10" throat.Auto OilerThis machine does not come with an auto-oiler and does not have theoption to have one installed. Although automatic oilers are notnecessary to maintain your machine, they do take the guess-work out ofmaintenance. Don't hold it against the machine though as you can easilyoil the machine yourself on regular intervals.WarrantyThe 3 Year on Machine on the Fellowes C-325i Jam Proof Strip-CutShredderis one of the best in the industry so rest assured that you arecovered. Just make sure that you oil your machine and avoid insertingany foreign object in the cutting heads and you'll be just fine!PriceThe MSRP is $1,999.00but you can find it for much less online if youlook around. Don't let the price deter you until you do a little bit ofcomparison shopping first.About the ManufacturerAs a global manufacturer and marketer of business machines, recordsstorage solutions and technology accessories, Fellowes enables peopleto work with greater security, organization and productivity.
