FELLOWES 5501601 Powershred LX180 16-Sheet Cross-Cut Shredder

Personal 16-Sheet Cross-Cut Shredder

The Fellowes Powershred LX180 is a new personal shredder designed for home or small-office users who need secure document destruction. It handles paper, staples, paper clips, credit cards and unopened junk mail in a single pass. SafeSense technology stops the motor immediately when hands or paws touch the paper entry. This unit suits anyone wanting straightforward, high-security shredding without commercial complexity.

16 Sheets Per Pass and 20-Minute Run Time

Each pass shreds up to 16 sheets into small cross-cut particles for enhanced security on highly confidential documents. The 100% Jam Proof System detects tough jobs and powers through them automatically to prevent frustration. An Efficiency Meter shows real-time capacity headroom so you can feed the maximum sheets without stalling. Continuous operation lasts for up to 20 minutes before a cool-down period is required.

Upgrade from Strip-Cut or Lower-Capacity Models

Buyers moving from strip-cut machines gain smaller particles and stronger data protection for the same desk footprint. Those replacing shredders limited to fewer sheets per pass will see faster batch processing thanks to the higher sheet rating and jam prevention. The jump is worth it when confidential volume exceeds occasional use and safety around children or pets is a priority. This model does not suit high-volume departments needing non-stop duty cycles.
