Product Features
Technical Overview
This shredder operates at 2.20 inches per second with a 9-inch feed opening that accepts standard documents. The 34.07-liter pull-out wastebin reduces emptying frequency, complemented by an LED bin-full indicator for maintenance alerts.
Technical safeguards include Auto Reverse Technology that detects and reverses paper jams automatically, plus Jam Stop functionality to prevent motor damage. The electronic auto start/stop system activates when paper is inserted and powers down during idle periods.
This section brings together practical product details such as Shred Type, Shredder Type, Sheet Shred Capacity, Noise Level Without Load, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
A strong technical summary explains how the product's interfaces, hardware profile, and operating characteristics work together in real deployment. Buyers often need this context to confirm compatibility with existing devices, expected performance in daily use, and whether installation will be straightforward for IT staff or end users.

Deployment / Use Cases
The Fellowes 99MS serves small offices, home offices, and departmental workgroups handling confidential documents requiring high-security destruction. Its 1-3 user recommendation aligns with environments processing moderate volumes of sensitive paperwork, financial records, or proprietary information.
Ideal applications include legal offices destroying case documents, medical practices disposing of patient records, financial departments shredding account statements, and corporate environments eliminating internal memos or strategic plans. The ability to shred staples and credit cards eliminates pre-processing steps for mixed document types.

User Manual
FAQ
What security level does this shredder provide?
The Fellowes MicroShred 99MS achieves P-5 security level through micro-cut shredding that reduces documents to 0.1" x 0.6" particles. This high-security destruction meets standards for confidential business documents, financial records, and sensitive personal information requiring protection against reconstruction.
Can this shredder handle staples and credit cards?
Yes, the 99MS shreds staples and credit cards along with paper without requiring pre-removal. The heavy-duty cutting mechanism processes these materials as part of normal operation, making it suitable for mixed document disposal including bound reports or expired payment cards.
How many sheets can it shred at once?
This shredder processes 14 sheets of 20-pound bond paper per pass through its 9-inch throat opening. The non-continuous operation design supports this capacity for standard office documents while maintaining the micro-cut particle size for security compliance.
What is the maximum run time before cooling down?
The 99MS operates for up to 20 minutes continuously before requiring a 40-minute cool down period. This runtime accommodates substantial shredding tasks in single sessions for small offices, with automatic thermal protection preventing motor overheating during extended use.
How does the SafeSense Technology work?
SafeSense Technology uses electronic sensors to detect when hands approach the paper opening, automatically disabling the shredder mechanism. This safety feature provides physical protection beyond document security, preventing accidental contact with cutting components during operation.
What warranty coverage does this shredder include?
Fellowes provides a 1-year product warranty covering the entire unit plus a 7-year cutter warranty specifically for the cutting mechanism. This extended cutter protection reflects the durable construction designed for reliable long-term performance in office environments.
What power capacity is listed for this UPS?
Power specifications help show where the unit fits best, including the type of load level, electrical environment, and backup role it is intended to support. These are usually the most decision-critical facts in a UPS or power-protection comparison.
Is this unit designed for rack or tower deployment?
For power-protection products, the most useful FAQ topics are usually capacity, outlet arrangement, runtime characteristics, and installation format. Those details do more to explain real deployment fit than generic marketing language.
