SHREDDER BAGS NOT NEEDED!
5 out of 5 stars
SHREDDER BAGS NOT NEEDED!
I asked a question earlier about how to secure bags in the shredder receptacle. I ended up calling Fellowes for guidance. First, you don't even need shredder bags. Second, if you decide to use bags, there are two tabs on each side at the front of the receptacle bin (see Photo #1); take your bag and thread it through under the tab. In Photo #2, I thread the bag twice around the tab for more security. However, as the bag becomes more full, the bag will slip out of the tabs. I got two starter bags with the machine. Once the second one is used, I'll more than likely try it without.All in all, I really love the shredder (I've only been using it for two weeks). I primarily purchased it based on reputation, and I really wanted a white shredder given that all the furniture in my home office is white. Not disappointed!

Works well and runs for long periods provided you don’t overload it. Reasonably quiet given the job it’s doing, assuming you oil it as recommended. Worth the price. I would absolutely buy it again.

Reviewed in Canada on August 12, 2022
Style: 16 Sheet - WhitePattern Name: Paper ShredderVerified Purchase
White LX21M here.
First thing you'll notice is you get a LX210 and not a LX21M. The Powershred LX series consists of the: Fellowes Powershred LX200 LX210 LX220. On Amazon.com the LX series consists of different model numbers. These are LX20M, LX21M, and LX22M. The letter ‘M’ is short for ‘Micro-Cut’. It's the same unit, but briefly had me concerned. Of course this is done so you can't request retail stores price-match Amazon since they are "different model numbers".

The unit is white, and less prestine looking than I'd hope. The individual parts clearly were handled roughly during assembly, as corners of parts that aren't exposed when assembled are imperfect. The more visible/broader surfaces are generally okay, but expect to need to take a damp cloth to the unit after getting it.

Otherwise, it's quiet, fast, and works like a charm. Bag wraps around the back and sides of the bin and pull it up on the front and there's no chance of shredded material not making it into the bag. It's a bit big (about 2.5-3.0ft high) but ate through my backlog of paper effortlessly.

All good!

Spent al good dollar on this machine and there is a great deal of the shredded material that does not get in bag. Each time you empty the bag you will have to clean the bottom of the machine of debris.
There is also a great deal of shredded material on the side of the bag. Disappointed about this I am considering to call and see what can be done to return it.

Very quiet, sleek design and high security Criss cross shredder P7.
Price is high but I bought a cheaper model for $85 and it kept shutting down after 3 mins and cool for 30 mins. I ended up returning that one and got this model - you can shred for up to 10 mins continuously. It also has wheels so you can move it effortlessly from room to room.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow holds a ton of paper
Reviewed in Canada on October 5, 2022
Style: 20 Sheet - WhitePattern Name: Paper ShredderVerified Purchase
Of course shredders never actually shred the number of papers they advertise so I would never try to shove 20 sheets in the is thing at once but wow I’ve never had (or heard of) a micro shredder before and the bin holds a ton of paper. Way more than even a cross cut shredder. If you hate emptying the paper bin all the time then definitely get this one instead of a cross cut shredder. It turns the paper into tiny confetti so a lot more of it fits in the bin. It says not to shred staples, CDs or credit cards though which is a shame.

My husband and I have years worth of confidential documents, including tax forms, to shred. When he hopelessly jammed our old workhorse, we chose to upgrade to a crosscut shredder for increased security. We were especially pleased to discover Fellowes' jam-proof feature. The LX21M runs fairly quietly and shreds up to 16 sheets at a time. It's attractive (I chose the white model) and compact enough to fit in a small corner of our home office. We're very pleased with our purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's a beast, but be prepared to pay for it. I love it regardless.
Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2022
Style: 20 Sheet - WhitePattern Name: Paper ShredderVerified Purchase
We purchased the 20-sheet version since it wasn't that much more expensive than the smaller capacities and it gave a better feature set. It is an absolute beast. It went through a couple years worth of shredding in short time, and I never had to worry about staples or paper clips.

A tip: I didn't find using a bag inside the machine to be useful. Paper shreddings still fell into the hopper outside the bag. Just fill the hopper then dump the hopper into a bag. Less mess and easier.

What I like:
+Capacity!! It chews up just about any amount you throw at it.
+Doesn't even blink when you throw paper clips or staples in - eats them the same as anything.
+Continuous operation. I never had it overheat. Used it constantly for 30 minutes, which is its rated use.
+Good looking design. This is purely subjective but it is a nice looking fixture.
+Hopper size. I went through 3 hopper fills with my initial purge of to-shred papers. I'd hate to think of how many I'd have gone through with a smaller bin.
+Solid feature set with auto-clearing, etc.
+LED indication of shredding performance - really dial in how much paper you can feed through at once.
+Capacitive touch sensor across both sides of the paper feed which will stop the machine if an errant finger gets too close to the opening. This is a phenomenal feature for safety.
+Super easy to set up and get going

What I'm indifferent on:
=The noise levels are acceptable. The first time I heard it I was amazed how quiet it was, but then I guess I got used to it and it seems to make some noise. Very manageable, but it's still there which I suppose is unavoidable.
=The price is what I would expect. I didn't find it especially good value nor did I find it a rip-off. It is significantly more expensive than lesser machines, but "lesser" is definitely the defining characteristic to note. If you've got the money, treat yourself to a very nice piece of kit. I used card points to buy it, which somehow made it feel less bad to spend this much money on what is essentially a luxury item for my home office.

What I dislike:
-Not much to dislike here. Still wish it could handle more paper at once and I didn't have to orient sheets, but those are a pretty nit-picky complaints that don't really apply at this price point.

Conclusion:
It's absolutely overkill for our household and work-at-home needs but it is such a wonderful luxury to have a machine that works so well. I've always had cheap old generic shredders. This is such a joy to use and I'm glad I was able to get it.

Finally replaced a small, very noisy, and cheaper shredder with this one. Size is compared to a carry-on roller bag. Best features: quiet, large bin that slides out for emptying, shreds more documents, final shredded paper looks like confetti --- good luck figuring out what that was you dumpster divers! Very happy I bought it as my junk mail is endless but rife with personal identifying information (full name, birth date, last 4 of social, address, phone, etc.).

Had a death in the family and had to shred boxes after boxes of important papers. I filled about 10 13 gallon trash bags of shredded paper each night for about 2 weeks. This shredder never missed a beat and still to this day works beautifully for my basic shredding needs. Truly an great product, and on top of that, it is awesome looking.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Shredder Decluttered my Office in a Day
Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2021
Style: 16 Sheet - BlackPattern Name: Paper ShredderVerified Purchase
My company offered us an allowance up to $250 for an office supply and this is what I chose. Between junk mail, magazines and other paperwork clutter, it was piling up fast.

I went through a stack of paperwork roughly 2 feet high in no time. Went through my filing cabinet and this shredder ate all of it with ease. It shreds extremely small and the bin is large enough and very easy to empty without spilling everywhere. There is a handle on top of the bin that you pull and it comes right out.

Some other nice features.

- The LED indicator tells you how hard the shredder is working during the current shred run. If it is easy, it is blue, medium will be yellow, medium to hard yellow/red, struggling will be red.

- One of the best features is the auto shut off sensor. We have kids and are new dog owners. If a hand, paw, really anything comes within 5 inches or so towards the blades, it will immediately shutoff. I read other reviews that stated this can be annoying, but I disagree. I would much rather have this safety feature rather then someone getting hurt.

- The junk mail shredding capability is phenomenal. I have now made it a habit to get the mail, shred the junk and empty envelopes, place the bills on the desk and walk away. Office has been clean ever since.

It does come with bags and a little bottle of oil. I just oil it every so often before shredding so when I do shred the oil spreads around the blades.

Great value and power for the money and well worth the middle of the road cost.
