I had already used a Fellowes shredder. You have to admit, when you invest in a reputed brand, it was worth the money. This model of the range above the one I was used to. Its size I was not at all surprised, and I reassure anxiety: even with a small office, you can still turn around. What m surprised, however, it is a very low noise level. In addition, he keeps his promises, and eat without flinching provided 12 sheets (a little more loudly, certainly). This machine manufacturer and are highly recommended. When I think he'll get rid of my bills, my PV, my taxes and all paperwork as useless as superfluous, I am delighted. (No, there I joke ...)
