This review is from: Fellowes(R) P500-2 Personal Strip-Cut Shredder (Office Product)

Our old non-Fellowes home shredder died after I mistakenly ignored the instructions to limit how long to use it in one session; I had recently retired and was shredding lots of paper from old office records. So I researched shredders, talking with people I knew and reading various websites and consumer publications. Fellowes was always ranked first.

The P500-2 is inexpensive but solidly made, running smoothly and quietly. It isn't what you'd use in a busy office, but for a home or small business that shreds no more than, say, 100 pages a day, it's perfect. The feed mechanism works quickly and efficiently. There have been no problems with paper getting snagged in the mechanism. An easy recommendation.

I've used this shredder for quite a while now and it hasn't quit on me yet. Shreds through staples, tiny pieces of paper, just about anything I need to have shredded. An excellent buy for those on a tight budget.

This review is from: Fellowes(R) P500-2 Personal Strip-Cut Shredder (Office Product)

I just started looking for a shredder for my mother-in-law and read many unfovorable reviews on shredders. I've had the Fellowes P500-2 for more than 3 years and it's worked great. It munches 5 or 6 sheets with no problem even with the occassional staple. It even crunches credit cards, but one at a time. It's plenty enough to do the daily mail, but when doing continuous files it lasts about 10 minutes before shutting down. I plan to purchase another as this seems like the best buy.
