5.0 out of 5 stars Great shredder!, March 22, 2006

By	C. Ruoff - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is great shredder and easy to use. It easily takes care of CDs, credit cards, and 8-10 sheets of paper at a time. Easy to operate and empty.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Disappointment, July 15, 2006

By	Roger Voelker - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase

I read the reviewers comments and I usually decide on what they
say. I got the PS-70 on Friday and went with my wife to use our
old Sentinel Shredder and the new one in our office this Saturday.
In the manual it says that "continuous operation beyond 10-12
minuts will trigger 20-minute cool down period." So, had I read that I would never have bought it. Wish the other reviewers would have mentioned it, but in any event I just did. On the positive side, the PS-70 looks good. Cuts well. Is quiet. I doubt they will take it back. So if you have some significant shredding to do, you can take a 20 minute break for 10-12 minutes of work. Maybe they should put a cooling fan in it or suppy an external
one to blow air through the venting holes. I will check into the
cooling fan side of it and see if I can salvage anything out of my money.

2.0 out of 5 stars I hate this da#n thing..., August 8, 2008

By	midnightrose227 "Shel" (Florida) - See all my reviews

Some idiot bought this for my office; the waste bin is a rickety, 2-part ordeal that's split down the middle for some odd reason. Also, there's no handgrabs or handles or anywhere to put your fingers and lift the shredder mechanism off (see photo). The shredder mechanism fits flushly against the bin. When I put it down today, I pinched my finger between the bin and the mechanism, and I've got a huge blood blister now and it hurt like hell. This thing is rickety and dangerous!
