Digital camera reviews of Fellowes Shredder Oil, 12 oz. Bottle with Extension Nozzle (35250)
Digital camera Review: messy oil for shredder
Summary: 3 Stars
this is a messy container of lubricant for the confetti cut shredder. Oil comes out of container too fast and is hard to stop.Digital camera Review: Fellows Powershred Oil
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a Fellows confetti cut shredder, totally believe in their products. Purchased their Fellows Powershred Oil to lubricate the cutters, to hopefully keep this shredder in operation for several years to come. Digital camera Review: Fellowes Powershred Lubricant Cutter Oil
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been using the same Fellowes Powershred shredder at home for several years now. It's in use every day as most of my mail goes there. Maybe I should be commenting instead on my Fellows shredder. It runs even more smoothly now than when first purchased and I attribute that to my regular use of Fellowes Phowershred Oil.
I oil the shredder every few weeks or so; the 12oz size oil may last the life of the shredder. I didn't use any oil for the first year and I noticed that I had to regularily clean out clumps of confetti cuttings that would stick to the blades - that might have been caused by shredding gummed items, envelopes, and labels, etc.
Since using the special Fellows Oil, that is specially formulated for these crosscut shredders, those problem have completely disappeared; the shredder works more efficiently and cleanly now than ever. I know that I will get the maximum life out of my shredder by continuing to use Fellows Powershred Oil.
Digital camera Review: Great for your shredder, here's why...!
Summary: 4 Stars
I have owned several Fellowes shredders over the years. The old ones used to be lubricated with light machine oil, petroleum-based. But the newer ones have nylon and plastic gears/parts that petroleum-based oils damage and cause to disintegrate, ruining your shredder. Mineral oil, 3-in-1 oil, etc. are petroleum-based and SHOULD NOT be used in Fellowes shredders anymore. Regular vegetable oil can be used, I have, BUT eventually, it will forever leave a rancid smell in and around your shredder, which will only get worse with time. This Fellowes oil is supposed to be more refined, with preservatives, according to Fellowes, thus no smell. I have used it, exclusively, on our newest shredder and while, I too, find the price objectionable and the bottle somewhat leaky and messy to use, I will continue to use it. With weekly use, the bottle has lasted almost a year and our shredder is running like new. A small price to pay compared to the ever-rising price of a new shredder! Hope you find this helpful.Digital camera Review: Good Price, Works Well but Poorly Designed Bottle that Leaks
Summary: 3 Stars
Works fine and the price from Amazon was good. My only complaint is the design of the bottle. You snip the tip of and then put the cap on but it doesn't create a perfect seal and the bottle leaks when tipped over. And since oil is the content it makes a massive mess.
I used to buy the Fellowes shredder lubricant in a flip-top bottle that never leaked but I remember that as a more expensive product.
