FELLOWES Powershred LX85 12-Sheet Shredder

The Powershred LX85 is a personal cross-cut shredder designed for home or small office use. It handles up to 12 sheets per pass and processes staples, paper clips, credit cards, and unopened junk mail. Patented SafeSense Technology stops the motor instantly when hands touch the paper entry. A 5-gallon pull-out bin collects the shredded waste.

20-Minute Run Time with 30-Minute Cool Down

The shredder operates for up to 20 minutes continuously before requiring a 30-minute cool down period. This cycle suits intermittent personal shredding tasks throughout the day. Cross-cut action produces particles measuring 5/32 by 1-9/16 inches at security level P-4. The elevated design fits discreetly beside a desk.

Upgrade from Strip-Cut or Lower Capacity Models

Users moving from strip-cut machines gain P-4 security for confidential documents. The 12-sheet capacity reduces loading time compared to entry-level 5- or 6-sheet units. SafeSense protection adds a safety layer absent on basic models. Buyers needing continuous high-volume destruction should consider heavy-duty alternatives.

Questions about this item

How do I set up the Fellowes LX85 shredder, and what step is often missed?

Remove all packaging, plug it into a standard outlet, and press the power switch to "Auto". The step people skip is pulling the 5-gallon bin fully forward until it clicks; the safety interlock prevents the motor from running if the bin is not seated.

What maintenance or replacement will the LX85 need over time?

Oil the cutters with official shredder oil every time you empty the bin or at least once a month to maintain the 5-year cutter warranty. The waste bin itself is durable plastic; only the cutter assembly would ever need replacement under normal use.

What limit appears first during continuous shredding on the LX85?

The 20-minute run-time limit triggers first. After shredding for 20 minutes, the thermal protection requires a 30-minute cool-down before the motor can restart.
