5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful Shredder for a Good Price, August 2, 2003

By 

Engineer (Philadelphia, PA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fellowes Powershred PS70-2CD Personal Strip-Cut Shredder (Office Product)

This is my third shredder. My last shredder (about $60 and a cross-cut shredder) lasted about 3 months before the motor went. I spent a lot of time researching available shredders and I knew that I had to spend more money if I was to get something that would last.

This shredder is excellent. I decided to buy a Fellowes brand because I purchased other Fellowes products for my small business, and they have performed wonderfully.

This shredder is built with the small office in mind. The motor is powerful, the feed is smooth, and the throat is wide. It is on the louder side but only because it is a strong motor. You can "hear" with every shred that this machine will stand up to the challenge of daily shredding of a small office for many years.

This is a strip-cut shredder and it provides satifactory security if that is a concern of yours. Although the cross-cut shredders provide a bit more security (because they shred into smaller pieces), I personally do not think they are worth the added cost and much shorter lifespan. This shredder has some nice features (you can see when it needs emptying and it lets you know if the basket is not aligned with the shredder/motor), but these are not important - it's all about how well this machine shreds, and how it can stand up to the demands of the office.

I am very happy with the performance of this shredder and I would buy another one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Its shredderific!, July 13, 2003

I bought this unit while preparing for a move (I didn't feel like taking, or leaving a million old bank statements). Its not perfect but it has a number of features you won't find in a $39.95 shredder.

First, its always on. It has a feed sensor so there's no need to hold the paper with one hand and the power switch with the other. Second, it will shread about 8-10 pages at a time, staples and all. Third, this model (the PS70-2CD) shreds credit cards and CDs. Awesome.

On the downside, with shredding capability like this the basket fills right up and you have to keep emptying it. Also with narrow strips like checks you have to feed right down the middle as the sensor that turns the unit on is mounted dead center--so if you feed something off to one side of the feed slot the sensor may not see it and will either fail to switch the unit on or stop before you're through.

That said, its worth the money. Heck, if Ken Lay had one of these babies he'd be on the golf course right now. Oh--I forgot...he is on the golf course.

Shred on!

4.0 out of 5 stars Totally "Shred-tastic", August 9, 2005

This review is from: Fellowes Powershred PS70-2CD Personal Strip-Cut Shredder (Office Product)

Man, this machine just destroys and shreds ANYTHING! At my job, I hold the highly coveted title of "Executive Document Shredder" so not to sound arrogant, but I know a thing or two about shredders. When I arrived on the first day for my job, I was absolutely horrified to discover a 2001 paper shredder. Atrocious. I demanded they purchase a machine that would reciprocate my level of document shredding. The company listened and now I am happily sitting in the copy/mail room for 9 straight hours, 6 days a week, shredding important documents. The only way this machine could've got 5 stars was if it had a pull-out cot so I could shred in my sleep.
