Fellowes Powershred P 45C

Pros: Handles credit cards and staples okay.

Cons: Overheats easily, can only handle six pages, crimps instead of cross-cuts, low capacity.

The Bottom Line:

This unit is a waste of money. It appears heavy duty but performs anemically.

Review: My wife recently purchased the Fellowes P-45C Cross-Cut Shredder for home use. This shredder replaced a Fellowes shredder that did not cross cut. The unit that this shredder replaced worked well for most home use but was beginning to struggle...

Pros: Neat, compact little machine, with good safety features and adequate for the home office.

Cons: Takes a while to shred, you need to be vigilant so it doesn't jam.

The Bottom Line: Medium-size, moderately-priced shredder, handy for the home and small paper volume. Confetti-cut paper may build up under safety flap and jam the machine ? likely to infuriate the operator.

Review: Intro
Newspapers pile up pretty quickly and it seemed a shame not to use them for the garden. However, short of tearing or cutting them by hand, the only other option was to buy a shredder. The first one I bought didn t last long it took...

Pros: Large bin for shredding collection.

Cons: Runs poorly, not likely to last very long.

The Bottom Line: I do NOT recommend this model. Fellowes makes quality machines, but avoid this one.

Review: I just bought this shredder from Office Depot. I am using it to replace my ShredMate, also from Fellowes. This shredder is quiet and claims to have the capacity (for shredded material) I am looking for.

However, the motor does not run very...

Pros: Open waste basket; safety lock for children; price

Cons: Weak motor

Review: I put 2 envelopes (thickness to 4 pieces of paper) and it almost jammed. I put 5 pieces of paper and it struggled to get that down. The unit appears to be very heavy and sturdy. I am surprised to see it perform so poorly. I am going to return it.

Pros: Nothing good about this machine. Makes a good foot stool when I'm on the computer.

Cons: Everything

Review: Big and heavy you would think this should chop up cardboard. Instead it can barely get through 2 pieces of paper. Glad I received as a gift and did not pay for it. 100% junk and the manufacture should be ashamed to put there name on it.

Pros: Price - and that's all

Cons: It doesn't do what it is billed to do (it certainly doesn't do it well).

Review: Well - I should write a well worded, intelligently crafted description - bud I really don't have the time.

Suffice it to say that I used this thing well within its rated parameters and I spend most of my time unjamming it. It's just not...
