Fellowes 32057 Powershred P-57Cs Shredder

This shredder shipped and arrived at my place really fast. Thanks Amazon. The advertised 8 pages at a time is a stretch. After I put 4 pages in the motor sounds like it is struggling. I have years of documents to shred but when that is all done I'm sure my daily use will not be very high and this product will be satisfactory. Also, the switch on my model is finnicky. Sometimes I have to hold the 'On' position for it to shred. I will be contacting Fellows about this. The bin is a little larger than your average plastic bag from the super market, but the bags can be stretched to fit.

it is larger than i thought, which surprised me a little bit when i opened the box. i think it works fine though.

This shredder feels like a solid, well made machine. When I feed more into it at a time, it slows down, giving me a gauge as to how much I can feed. The big commercial shredder at work grabs everything at full-speed and, if it's too much, just stops. I'm extremely pleased. Of course the bargain price didn't hurt either.

For the price tag, this is the best value I have found. It doesn't really shred 8 pages at a time (unless it is super thin paper like credit card receipts or the like). But, the capacity more than makes up for it!! I have a tremendous amount of shredables (probably > 200 bags worth!) because I have been going through the cheap shredders like crazy. I admit I had my doubts, I'm one that thought the more expensive shredders were just bigger and more expensive versions of the smaller crappy models. But I am finally getting rid of this mountain of shredables thanks to this shredder. I shred between 1-2 bags a day (well over the 160 page-per-day it advertises) and have NO PROBLEMS! The value has already surpassed its purchase price!
