Excellent shredder!!!
Just received this beast from Amazon today & couldn't wait to try it as my old one (Royal Orca) finally died after several years of faithful service & credit card checks were starting to pile up. My old Shredder was a table top model that would only shred a couple of checks at a time & I wanted something more "formidable" Well this critter fits the bill. Its intake is a full 9" so I can unfold a sheet of checks & make fast work of them. Its 7 gal basket means less trips to the garbage. Plenty of...

Excellent quality shredder, terrific value!
We bought this shredder to replace our old broken cross-cut model, and found this to be one of our very best purchases from Amazon. Yes, it's about twice the cost of the cheaper $40-$50 models you will find but the marginal extra cost will repay itself in spades! Below are some of the advantages I liked most:
PROS
1) While this is a bigger unit, the trash bin holds a much greater capacity. This means fewer headaches of dumping and cleaning. There is a little window that show...

Runs more quiet, is slower, and makes larger pieces than my PS-80
My seven year old Fellows Power Shred PS-80 cross cut shredder finally stopped working after I gave it too much paper (broke a gear). So I replaced it with this PS-77Cs. I noticed that this PS-77Cs shreds more quietly than my previous PS-80. Both will shred credit cards. But my old PS-80 won't shred CDs or DVD's: I noticed that there are two small points (like canine teeth) on each of the PS-77Cs' cutter blades that probably help grab and help pull the plastic cards and CDs in its shredding ...

Love this shredder
Spent this weekend shredding over ten years or 4 black plastic bags worth of credit card statements, bank statements, and credit card offer letters. (I'm a pack rat, don't ask)
I loved the ability to shred thick envelopes without opening them and that I didn't have to remove the small staples from some of the letters.
I definitely abused it this weekend and it just kept ticking. I just kept it well lubed and allowed it to cool down for 15 assitionla minutes after it cam...

Shred and awe!
I tried the smaller and more elegant looking shredders before, the ones with the metal mesh baskets that look quite nice, but I broke two of them, getting too ambitious with feeding them unopened envelopes. They also took way too long, heated up and shut down to take breaks, when I tried to shred a year's worth of last century job and tax records. This shredder is the one. It'll swallow the junk mail envelopes -- hook, line and sinker, i.e. fake plastic credit card -- all at once. No more tediou...

This shredder is a real workhorse
I've had it about a month now and it has performed beautifully. In one day I filled the basket about 6 times shredding old client files (I am a lawyer) and trust account records to clear my office of piles of old, dead files in a way that safely protects my clients' identities and confidential information. I've had other shredders before but nothing that compares to this one. The capacity is supposed to be 12 pages maximum but I've fed it as many as 15-20 pages with no problems. It has only over...

Works as advertised, but...
This thing hasn't had any problems chewing everything I've put in it, but I only give it 4 stars because when I shred CDs, shards of the CD sometimes kick out of the paper input (two separate slots, one for CD/credit card shredding, and one for paper input). The first time that happened I was facing the shredder and got some "cd shrapnel" surprise. But now I just make sure I'm at arms-length when shredding CDs.
Something that surprised me was how weighty the whole thing is - very s...

Good value, good performance, it needs your attention.
At the current price of $99, this is a very good shredder. I have owned two low end shredders, one lasted 5 years, the other I am giving away. Amazon delivered this in two days 2 weeks ago and I have been using it daily ever since to get rid of my backlog. I just ordered the lubricant which was reccommended by another reviewer.
Good features: Three power positions: auto-on based on paper feed, off and reverse; 5 indicator lites: on, too close, jammed, waste can open, and overheat; two s...

shreds well..but won't stop
After just a few weeks of use, this unit just won't stop, I've used compressed air to clean, remove every bits of paper I can see inside, still it just won't shut down. Funny thing is that although a different model, we had the same problem at work with this brand, I wonder if they have a bad design on the sensor.
Update: I called the customer support line, and I was very impressed, I got a person on the line. They offered to replace the shredder and they offered a label for free ship...

Better than what I expected.
I really appreciate this shredder for three reasons.
1. I have three energetic, curious, impulsive children. They are very intelligent and figure things out quickly. With this machine if you touch it near the slot it shuts off. That's practical technology.
2.I receive too much junk mail. I buy too much stuff with lots of receits and catalogs. I need this shredder.
3.It holds alot of paper and it tells me when it's full as well as when it is getting over heated. It stops workin...
