Very Good Purchase January 9, 2007
A Reviewer (Salt Lake City, Utah)
119 out of 123 found this review helpful
I did a fair amount of research before purchasing this shredder. The child-safe finger feature was most important to me, as was the durability. After the first few uses the plastic shield inside the shredder which ostensibly guides the shredded paper into the wastecan fell off, but the functioning of the shredder doesn't seem to be affected. Aside from this minor issue, the shredder seems solidly made and has been excellent--it rarely jams and when it does it's easy to clear with the reverse feature. Its recovery time is very reasonable when you're working it hard (take a break yourself, too!). It's not as noisy as my old shredder. It is somewhat messy to empty, however, since the shreds are small, but that's a good thing when you're looking to keep identity theft at bay. I was pleased with how quickly it arrived. I would definitely purchase this shredder again for moderate household use.
 Great Bang for your buck February 27, 2007

I had 7 years of documents/financial statements at home and wanted to get rid of them.
This little fellow did a fine job taking care of that.
A couple of points:
- The sensor was a bit annoying. A lot of the statements are folded and with the sensor on, the machine would stop a few times until I wiggled the doc. So I turned the sensor off.
- It would get hot after a few minutes of constant shredding. The first time I used it, I think I went on 10 minutes of constant shredding. It was running a bit slow, so I decided to put some oil. When I came back with the oil, it wouldn't turn on. I had to wait half an hour for it to cool down and decide to work again.
- I generally shred 2 or 3 pages together. It works perfectly. It has a hard time shredding more than that.
Overall, it's an excellent bang for your buck (if you're just shredding your personal statements). If you own a business and need to shred a lot of documents, I would recommend a more robust one.
 Jammed a few weeks in on far less than 8 sheets January 19, 2008

While it was working, I loved it, but my new shredder just jammed on perhaps three sheets, and though I got the paper out, shredded bits are stuck between the blades. I got some of them out with scissors and a knife (yes, I'd unplugged it first), but still...the motor's jammed, and nothing's going in or out.
Contacted Fellowes CS today; if there's a good outcome, I may up the star rating on this product.
Update 1/23: Fellowes will send out a replacement shredder. I'm happy about Fellowes customer service, but I see I can't up the star rating. Thinking about it, since this rating is for the shredder itself, it should probably stay at 2. If this hadn't been advertised as having a capacity of 8, it would be fine--but buyer beware! Don't try to shred more than about 3 sheets at a time.
Update 1/29: The replacement arrived in good condition. Now that I know to stick to 2 sheets--3 at maximum--I think it will serve me fine. But remember--don't even think of putting 8 sheets through this thing. (It's still a pretty decent price for a 3-sheet-capacity machine if you're getting it at the discount--but not worth it if you're paying full list.)
Update 3/2: Still working fine, still shredding only 2 sheets at a time.
 Dimensions Incorrect June 22, 2007

I had a tight space to put this so the dimensions were important to me. Instead of 12 X 12 X 16 shown on the web page the actual dimensions are 10.5'' deep X 15'' wide X 16" high. The cord is rather short: about 4-5 feet and has a 3 prong plug which meant I had to find a new place to plug it in. The top doesn't fit easily into the basket so it will be less convenient to empty than my old shredder. It creates shreds about 1/8" wide by about 2" long which is much smaller that my old shredder. It's shreds fairly fast and seems sturdy; so I'm still happy to have purchased it.

For the $$ this is the best home use shredder. I tried store brand and they broke. This one is relatively quite and strong enough for all those credit card applications I get in the mail. Make sure you do not let the gum-backed "sample" credit cards go through though.
