P70CM specifications

The Fellowes P70CM is a high-quality paper shredder designed for both home and small office use. Its compact design, innovative features, and advanced technology make it a reliable choice for anyone looking to enhance their document security. This shredder offers a perfect blend of efficiency and user-friendly operation.

One of the key features of the Fellowes P70CM is its capability to shred up to 7 sheets of paper at a time. This allows users to quickly dispose of sensitive documents without the need for multiple passes. The shredder utilizes a Cross-Cut technology that transforms documents into tiny confetti-style shreds, providing a higher level of security compared to traditional strip-cut shredders. As a result, this shredder meets the Security Level P-4 standards, making it ideal for handling confidential information.

The P70CM is equipped with a 5-gallon pull-out waste bin, making it easy to dispose of shredded materials without hassle. The transparent window on the bin allows users to monitor the fill level, ensuring that the bin can be emptied before it becomes too full. This design consideration enhances convenience and minimizes interruptions during shredding tasks.

Another notable feature of the Fellowes P70CM is its SilentShred technology, which significantly reduces operational noise, making it suitable for use in shared spaces without causing disturbances. This is particularly beneficial in office environments where maintaining a quieter atmosphere is essential.

The P70CM also incorporates an Auto Shut-Off feature that activates when the shredder is overloaded or if the waste bin is removed. This safeguard prevents potential damage to the machine and ensures safe operation. Additionally, it has a separate slot for shredding credit cards, staples, and paper clips, enhancing its versatility and efficiency in managing various types of materials.

With its durable construction and reliable performance, the Fellowes P70CM stands out as a dependable shredder that meets the security needs of its users.
