One of the biggest problems offices face when dealing with the safe disposal of documents, Fellowes 73Ciremove any barriers between consumers and this important habit. The Fellowes 73Ci intelligently adapts to the user’s behaviors to make shredding confidential information a simple and hassle-free process. The Fellowes 73Ci automatically responds to consumer behavior for optimized performance and safety. It’s capable of turning staples and other debris cross-cut particles with each pass. A six-gallon storage bin on the bottom permits you to operate the shredder all day long without needing to recycle it.
It is a small office or home office shredder. It is the perfect intersection of price and quality. The Fellowes 73Ci swallowed CD and credit cards making quick work of the pieces of plastic. Aesthetically it’s pretty neutral thanks to its simple frontage. Fellowes make the best shredders worldwide; have been using this one for a while… works great. The safety features SafeSense® Technology sound like a great idea. A sophisticated sensing element within the shredder throat measures the dimension of the paper orderly pile and in a reflex manner mechanically barricades the paper jams ahead of its occurrences. When the paper is miss-fed inside the shredder the above mentioned 100 % Jam Proof technology show response by turbo-enabling the shredder and cancel the process for easy dismissal of papers from the shredder.

Key Product Features:
100% Jam Proof System that eliminates paper jams and powers through tough jobs. It’s more a warning method to help you avoid the possibility of a jam. Green is a full go, yellow is exercise caution, and red means you best remove some pieces of paper. If it jams, it reverses automatically, fixes the problem, and continues. The Fellowes® 73Ci delivers three levels of advanced jam prevention with the patented 100% Jam Proof System. Level One prevents overfeeding by measuring paper thickness via a sensor in the paper entry. Level two powers through tough jobs caused by wrinkles or folds that may occur as paper is shredding or will auto reverse cleanly. Level Three maximizes productivity by providing instant feedback as to whether or not you are within the recommended sheet capacity.
