Customers like the shredder quality. They mention it's suitable for home shredding, has an accessible waste box, and is an acceptable replacement for a similar Fellowes shredder that died after 3 years. It's easy to empty and mess-free. However, it struggles with shredding more than 3 pages.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 September 2015Style Name: 12 SheetsAfter a year's use (admittedly fairly intensive) I now have a shredder with extremely blunt teeth that cannot shred more than fifteen pages without overheating and needing a thirty-minute cool-down period. I am giving it two stars rather than one because to be fair it does do a fairly decent job of grinding up the papers even if it does end up taking forever - and, it does CDs and old credit cards too which is useful.
If you occasionally shred one or two pages then it'll probably serve you well - but - if you need to securely dispose of one in-tray or more's worth of paper a week then I would not recommend buying this because it is expensive and will let you down in not very much time at all.
(Two free alternatives which I do myself and would recommend over and above buying this deeply mediocre piece of hardware are: 1) carrying your bank statements etc into the office and putting them into the confidential waste bin there, 2) paying a visit to a friend in the country/suburbs who has an incinerator in their backyard and burning all your papers there. Both quicker and less hassle than this fairly useless eyesore )

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 January 2012It might seem a bit churlish to give this 3 stars given that it came via Vine but you have to call them as you see them as it were. Certainly this looks and feels like a good design. It's very easy to operate and the integral bin makes the impromptu confetti shower when emptying a thing of the past.
The big drawback is the limited recommended usage. I'm fine with 5 sheets at a time but the instructions recommend a daily usage of only 30 sheets - now given that I've seen a tesco shredder literally go up in smoke I'm inclined not to push this beyond its limits. Then again its called a 'Powershred'-and is pumped as "One of the world's toughest shredders"-not in my world its not. Assuming you are unlikely to be buying this in the first place if you hadn't accumulated a backlog of work for it, its going to be a while before you catch up. I guess its fine if you have a limited need for it, a pair of good scissors or my puppy could give it a run for its money though. Finally a lot is made of its safety lock on the box, you'd have to be pretty determined to have to need it as the slot is impossible to get anything wider than the measly 5 sheets it allows you to process. Personal use is the term to remember here.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 November 2015Style Name: 5 SheetsVerified PurchaseI gave this one star because it is not possible to give less. The shredder packed up on the irst day of use! Amazon's returns system is very efficient however and our money was refunded. I would not consider buying another Fellowes product as this was so appallingly bad. I should have paid more attention to the negative reviews & hope anyone looking to buy a shredder will do the same.
