Pros: Sturdy, metal teeth, not too loud
Cons: expensive

I've been hankering for a shredder of my very own, but despite identity theft paranoia (compounded by unauthorized charges to a credit card) and a fear of paper cuts, I couldn't justify the purchase. All that changed after I went through all my papers...

Pros: Strong enough, quiet, does credit cards well.
Cons: Shredder head is heavy. Expensive, but worth it.

Everyone should be concerned about identity theft. I had previously owned a Royal brand strip shredder, which lasted for a couple of years. When it finally went, I wanted to replace it with a cross-cut model. I went out and tried to cheap out with an off ...

Pros: Heavy duty, maximum security
Cons: None

I bought this shredder after my Royal Orca 3500 died big time. The Orca was a pretty decent shredder when it wasn't jamming. I think I paid about $55 for it on sale. It was the cheapest crosscut shredder that looked like it was built to last. When it...

Pros: heavy duty, reliable
Cons: only takes up to 5 sheets at a time

Due to the way we have our affairs arranged, we have a LOT of papers with sensitive and personal information on them. We needed a personal shredder for home to protect our information. We'd quickly burned up and broken two lesser personal ...

Pros: Genuine cross-cut shredding
Cons: Must take lid off to empty basket

There is no doubt this is a gread home shredder. The shreds are nice and small so your privacy is maintained...and isn't that the point of having a shredder? It will shread 8 or so pages of paper, and if that is all you do, and don't do it often, then...

Pros: Shreds like a mean machine
Cons: Kind of a pain to empty bin

I wanted to good paper shredder and after asking everyone I knew tell me how weak there shredders were I considered spending a little more to get one that will last. Boy did I find it. This baby cooks. It has only choked once when I simply fed it too...

Pros: Quiet, efficient, powerful, reliable
Cons: None

I have owned a couple of Royal brand cross cut shredders that I bought at Sam's Club. The first (I forget the model) simply died, the second (an Orca 3500) jammed with increasing frequency until I spent more time clearing jams than shredding, plus some...

Pros: works well, quiet, great deal!
Cons: none so far

I finally decided to buy a confetti-cut shredder as I've heard too much about identity theft and I've decided to toss out a lot of my old financial documents. After doing some research (including at epinions), it seemed that the Fellowes PS60CC offered...

Pros: What a superb tool for home/office. It rocks.
Cons: none at the moment

I've had this shredder couple days now and it's awesome. The shredding power is not of this world. You can tell the cutters are precision made and aligned for the best possible shredding available on the market today. Great job here at Epinions.com. I...

Pros: Ease of use
Cons: Limited number of pages, blades dull over time

This shredder does a good job of cutting up the paper - the "confetti" that is the product is definitely not readable.

What we have noticed is that over time, the shredder works less and less well - we are assuming this is from the cutting...

Pros: Self Contained
Cons: none

With all the credit card fraud you read about I was getting concerned at who was looking at my garbage. Especially after there was a letter to the local newspaper about how someone had found a bad of trash that fell off a truck and was able to read all...

Pros: Confetti cut, compact, long cord
Cons: Heavy lid, not long lasting, messy, paper jams, weak motor.

I have gone through TWO of these shredders, and each one has broken after less then a year of use. The first one jammed and cracked open, making the shredding blades unable to turn. The second one's motor burned out on me and stopped working.

Not a good product worth buying for the price you pay.
