User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars IT IS A MONSTER!
I come from a big company environment where we had big shredders and people to do the shredding. After retirement, I bought two different “big box” office supply branded shredders. They were always jammed. In frustration, while trying to clean out years of personal information, I carried them to the garbage swearing and vowing never to buy cheap equipment again. (Actually they weren’t inexpensive, just cheaply built.)
The next day I read reviews shopped around and bought the PS-60. It is a monster! I thought it performed as well as my old office shredders, it hardly choked. I did jam it with 14 sheets of heavy paper, but I can feed 10 sheets at a time until the bin is full and never jam it. Highly recommend.
5 Stars Great Product
This is a most wonderful product. We brought two shredders previously and stopped working for being use a few times. This shredder worth to pay a little more and knowing is dependable. We had shredded more than 20 years paperwork due to down sizing. I am sure this one will help us to go for many miles longer. Highly, highly recommanded. A very very happy owner of this product.
5 Stars Bags and Bags of items to shred
I had bags and bags of things to shred but was waiting to invest in a good shredder. I finally decided to purchase one and I love it. I was shredding all day on Saturday and now I’m happy to say I have no more bags. The shredder work very well and I have no complaints. I would highly recommend you purchase it. Unless your looking for a confetti type of shredder but that was too complicated for me.
2 Stars I wish I hadgone to the store
I pruchased the PS-60/PS-65c, but when I got it home I was sorry I had not gone to the store instead of mail order. I had a previous Fellowes shredder in which the paper dumped in a basket. When the basket was full one pulled it out horizontally snd emptied it. With the new replacement one has to lift off the top which contains the heavy motor and blade assembly to empty the bin. At 88 yrs I don’t need that. As a shredder it is fine, giving parellel slices from quiet smooth operatin, If I had had a better, closer look I would have seen that and avoided the heavy lifting. May be fine for a heavyweight, although I would not have wanted it at any time. It has turned out to be a real hassle BB
4 Stars Good shredder, but
I’ve had this shredder about a month and have used it quite a bit shredding old documents (I’ve emptied the basket about a dozen times). The shredder appears to be pretty much everything that I thought it would be compared to the cheap shredders I’ve had in the past. It’s certainly more substantial and quieter. My only regret is that I didn’t spend a extra $20 for the similar Fellowes model that confetti cuts instead of the strip cut on this model. The basket fills up very fast with the large strip cuts made by this machine and I believe that a confetti cut machine would allow more paper to be shredded before the basket needs to be emptied. The trade off between the strip cut and confetti cut machines, as I understand, is that the confetti machines require a shredding oil to be used occasionally and the strip cut machines don’t.
