The Fellowes Powershred 8Mc is a 3 x 10mm (DIN Level P-4) Micro-Cut shredder. It's ideally suited for individual users wanting superior security, and it has a sleek black design. The 8Mc can shred 8 sheets of A4 paper (70gsm) per pass and can shred continuously for up to 5 minutes. The machine also accepts staples and credit cards and has a 14-litre bin with a lift-off head, great for occasional - moderate use in the home and home office. There's also a convenient, large window at the front that lets you quickly check how soon the bin needs emptying. It also has a patented Safety Lock feature which disables the shredder and prevents accidental activation for added safety.
