Editorial Reviews:

The innovative Fellowes P-57Cs with SafeSense Technology is ideal for use in the home or home office. Exclusive SafeSense Technology stops shredder immediately when hands are too close to the paper opening. Shreds up to 8 sheets per pass into 5/32 x 2-inch confetti particles as fast as 85 sheets per minute. Equipped with a 9-inch paper entry, the P-57Cs easily accepts letter or legal size documents, and features durable steel cutters that accept credit cards and staples. Pivoting head with handle allows quick, easy waste removal from the 5-gallon wastebasket. Auto start/stop function ensures quick, easy shredder operation. Sheet capacity gauge helps prevent paper jams, while the reverse function easily removes over-fed paper.

Summary: Just right
Comment: This shredder fits nicely under a desk, is crosscut, handles all the daily mail and old file projects, and doubles as a regular trashcan. A good buy.

Summary: Works well
Comment: I bought one for my home and one for the office...great price. Shredder does exactly what's expected.

Summary: Plastic gears are a problem
Comment: This is a great little shredder for the money. I had mine for 8 months before it broke -- truth be told, I was trying to cram way too much stuff in there when it broke. I took off the top and saw that I had sheared off the main gear, which was made of plastic (which makes sense given the price).

This would be a real easy fix -- just swap in a new gear -- but in contacting Fellowes, and in doing a number of Interent searches, replacement gears are not available. Fellowes replaced the shredder because it was still within its one-year warranty, which is great (and Fellowes customer service was great), except that now I have a broken shredder that will wind up in the landfill, when it would be such an easy fix. And that's not so eco-friendly.

Anyway, the short of it is, great personal shredder, but with the caveat that it's made with plastic gears for which Fellowes has no replacement parts available.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Great shredder. good bang for buck
Comment: The shredder works great. I've been using it for aproximately 2 months now and have had no issues. It has great safety features, is easy to clean and simple to use. Although it says it can take a max of 8 pages at a time, I think that is pushing it, and I usually put in no more than 5-6 at a time. It also sounds like it's working quite hard when shredding a credit card or CD/DVD.
For the money, this has been a great buy and I would reccommend.
