The thermal fuse tripped a few times due to overuse and too thick material, and i've had to do surgery to remove jammed paper bits sometimes. I'm a believer in regular applications of canola oil (yes that is what the fellows stuff is) dribbled down the length of the slot. Also not putting more then the equivalent of ten sheets of letter sized paper in at a time and no more then five minutes of continous use at a time. My two cents.
After 5 years our beloved Fellows shredder went to meet its keeper. We did not use it daily; when we did we shredded between 50-100 pages of docs at one time. We searched for a couple under $100. One is Fellows and the other is Aurora. Which brand is best for the $70 price?
Ps: my rule of what to shred is that anything that could be used to setup a financial or professional relationship gets shredded. So all credit card, mortgage, sell us your house, charity, unsolicted trade magazines, etc.
