Overview / Introduction
The Fellowes Microshred MS-450 is an extremely quiet and highly secure paper shredder. Think of the motor noises you associate with a paper shredder and those know that those do not exist with this paper shredder. The shred is also much smaller than your typical cross cut shredder making your shredded documents much safer. If you are in need of a shredder that can go at an executive’s desk, outside an executive’s office, receptionist’s desk, or near a waiting area, the Fellowes Microshred MS-450 is a great option. This one of the more stylish shredders and has good aesthetic appeal.

Shredder
The motor emits almost no noise The shred is extremely fine and the document is completely destroyed. The shredder had no problem ripping through seven pages which is the maximum pages per pass. The shred is much smaller and more secure than your typical cross cut paper shredder Like most Fellowes paper shredders this one uses Safe Sense Technology. This means the shredder will stop shredding when you hand or any object gets near the opening of the paper shredder.

Waste Basket
There is a clear window that is over half of the height that makes it very easy to see how full the shredder waste basket is. Being able to tell visually when the shredder is getting close to being full is a big advantage. Sensors are not always accurate and a shredder waste basket that has been overfilled is a huge mess. The basket pulls out from the front. A very nice feature is the shelf at the top of the waste basket. The shelf gives you a great place to store all of your shredder supplies There is a small shelf in the waste basket that allows you to store supplies including waste bags and shredder oil. There is plenty of room allowing you to store a full bottle of shredder oil and lots of shredder bags.

Pros
  • Very quiet
  • Has wheels
  • Very fine shred produced
  • Nice sized shelf inside to store supplies

Cons
  • The finer shred can make more of a mess

Conclusion
The Fellowes MS-450 shredder is an excellent shredder. It shreds very well for a medium duty paper shredder, very quiet and an excellent value. It would be an excellent shredder to place in a reception area that needs to be quiet. This shredder is great for an executive of an executive assistant.
