The innovative Fellowes SB-97Cs with patent-pending SafeSense technology features an active sensor that stops shredding immediately when paper entry is touched. Designed for frequent shredding needs, the Fellowes Powershred SB-97Cs delivers a high level of performance that’s ideal for small office or home office use. This heavy duty personal shredder reduces documents to 5/32″ x 1-1/2″ extra-security confetti particles, and shreds up to 17 sheets per pass, 50-100 times per day, for a total daily capacity as high as 1,700 sheets.

Equipped with a 9″ wide paper entry, the SB-97Cs easily accepts standard letter or legal size documents. The SB-97Cs shreds CDs in a designated safety slot. Durable steel cutters also accept credit cards, staples and small paper clips. An auto start-stop feature ensures quick and easy automatic shredder operation. The shredder automatically shuts off and alerts the operator when a jam occurs, door is ajar or wastebasket is full. This model includes a fully enclosed 10-gallon pull-out wastebasket, and the cabinet stand has built-in casters for portable ease. Fellowes provides a seven-year warranty on the cutter.

Fellowes 32197 Powershred SB-97Cs Paper Shredder

Given the massive quantities of credit card offers that we receive in the mail, and the fact that we run a small business, my husband and I have been searching for a reliable shredder for years with little luck. We tend to burn out most shredders in under 60 days.

We’re already past the 90 day mark with the SB-97Cs and it is as good as new! We haven’t had a single paper jam!! The shredder even handles super thick credit card offers with fake credit cards included in them!

The SB-97Cs has some really cool features as well. My favorite is the fact that it will not allow you to feed a document into it too quickly. The problem with our old “wimpy” shredders is that we could feed junk mail into it at a faster rate than it could handle, which would ultimately jam it up. If this shredder gets to a point where it senses that it is going too quickly, or that the bag inside is getting to full, it just won’t let you feed anything into it! (And it tells you why with an indicator!)
