Our take
Fellowes' step-up from the FS-9C
Twelve sheets, an 18-litre bin, five-minute run time and Fellowes' SafeSense technology that stops the blades if fingers touch the paper entry — worth it in a house with children. Around £83.
Manufacturer highlights
- 10x MORE SECURE THAN STRIP CUT. HIGHER SECURITY SHREDDING - The Fellowes FS-12C cross-cut paper shredder can shred 12 sheets at once into tiny 4 x 40 mm cross-cut particles (DIN P-4). It shreds each sheet of A4 paper into almost 400 pieces and is 10x more secure than strip cut (DIN P-1) options, so you can be sure that your confidential documents have been disposed of securely.
- EXTRA-LONG SHREDDING TIME TO POWER THROUGH - The FS-12C paper shredder will shred up to 12 sheets non-stop for up to 20 minutes, meeting the rigorous demands of desk side or home office shredding.
- HIGH QUALITY & POWERFUL SHREDDING MACHINE – The World’s Toughest Shredders from Fellowes shredders are built to last. The paper shredder’s powerful steel cutters and robust high performance motor will not only shred your documents into unreadable pieces, but can also shred staples, paper clips and credit cards.
- SHRED SAFELY – the FS-12C has a patented safety lock that deactivates the shredder to prevent accidental activation, making it ideal for the home office.
- SAFE & SIMPLE TO USE – The FS-12C paper shredder has an electronic start/stop mechanism designed in to make shredding fast and effective. The shredder will deactivate when the bin is removed to prevent accidents. 4 castors (2 of which are lockable) mean the shredder can be moved easily when needed for increased convenience and removes the need for carrying.
- EASY TO EMPTY 19L PULL-OUT BIN - For convenient disposal of your cross-cut shredder’s paper waste, the FS-12C paper shredder features a large 19 Litre pull-out bin with a handy viewing window. Simply pull out the bin, empty and stay mess free.
