Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Security, privacy, and recycling are just a few reasons for buying a shredder. Personal shredders, like the Fellowes Powershred 60, are ideal for the home or small office. You can shred confidential business and personal information, such as financial documents, old credit card and bank statements, and expired tax forms. By strip-shredding 12 sheets at a time through a top-loading feeder into its own durable plastic bin, the PS60 destroys old R&D files, designs, business plans, and board minutes, rendering them unreadable.
The Powershred 60 features automatic electronic start and stop for easy operation and a front basket capacity of 7.6 gallons. It withstands staples and paper clips without damage to the blades and can handle up to 900 sheets daily (Fellowes recommends a daily capacity of 450 sheets). The Fellowes Powershred 60 is compact, measuring 17 by 14 by 10 inches, and affordable, which makes it possible for any home or office to have the security that a shredder offers.

Keep in mind what you're getting,
This review is from: Fellowes PS60-2 Strip-Cut Shredder (38601) (Office Product)
If you're expecting an industrial shredder, you'll be disappointed. This shredder is designed for personal/small office use and does a great job of it. It claims that it can handle up to 12 sheets of regular sized paper at once and it's about right on. I bought it for home use and don't expect to put it to too much use, but we had saved up a bit of paperwork that we wanted shredded so for the first day or two I really put it through its paces shredding probably close to a thousand sheets of paper. When you read the directions carefully it claims that you shouldn't do more than 20 to 25 minutes of shredding with the shredder daily. And if you do more than about 10 minutes of continuous shredding the shredder overheats. It doesn't damage the shredder when you do this (though I'm sure it isn't really good for it either), but it has an automatic sensor that will turn it off until it cools down to a usable temperature. I probably did close to one hour of shredding the first and second days and it ran like a champ. I was a bit hesitant to run some stapled pages through at first but after I tried it the first time and it ate them up like post-it notes I wasn't too worried about it anymore. It didn't have any problems, even though I overheated it a couple of times. It also recommends that you oil the shredder about once a month. With how much I used it I oiled it a couple of times. Interestingly it says in the instructions that you can use vegetable oil or canola oil to oil the shredder instead of shredder oil. It's probably not as good, but it will save you money. I used it and it worked fine. The only problem I can really see with the shredder is that it is a bit loud. Never having owned another shredder I can't really compare it to other shredders, but it seemed pretty loud to me. Overall, I love the shredder. It can't do unlimited sheets at once, but if you're using it for limited daily usage it should work great indefinitely. If you're looking for something along these lines (10 minutes of use a day, roughly), then I highly recommend this shredder.

This is missing one thing,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fellowes PS60-2 Strip-Cut Shredder (38601) (Office Product)
I owned a shredder before this and it was a cross cut shredder, and when I bought this one, I guess I didn't pay attention to the fact that it wasn't a crosscut shredder. I like the cross cut because the paper is shredded to the point where nothing can be recognized. Needless to say, this does a good job, you just have to make sure that you put the documents in horizontally.

Paper Wads Up Beyond Shearing Wheels and Blocks Shredder,

This review is from: Fellowes PS60-2 Strip-Cut Shredder (38601) (Office Product)
I have a Fellowes PS-60 powershredder at work, and it works great. I bought this PS60-2 Shredder and have had it at home for six months or so. I don't know why my experience has been so utterly different than the five others who have reported in, the only thing I can think of is that there is a manufacturing defect in mine...in any case, when shredding typical bills and other office paper items, the paper frequently wads up in a wide space just beyond the shears that then narrows to form the outlet into the bin below. Once the wadding process starts, you keep merrily shredding, the wads get tighter and tighter in that space, until the shredder jams. You turn it off, turn over the shredder module, and then take about 15-20 mins to fish out all the wads so it will work again. With trial and error, you can reduce the wadding by placing only perfectly straight paper into the machine, and also by frequently tamping down the shredded paper. The problem is Fellowes dumb design of this one...I am going to call them to try to get it replaced, but thought I would warn others first.
