Great Shredder
This shredder will meet all your household needs. This is the second Fellowes Powershred Shredder I have owned. I had my previous one for 6 years and it basically became too small. With all the identity theft going on, I shred everything. The P-57 handles all my shredding jobs, big and small. If you are looking for a great household shredder, you can't go wrong buying the Fellowes Powershred P-57.
Son recommended. Is as good as my son said. Better than the one it replaced from Staples which was more expensive and failed after 9 months. Good power.
good shredder Great. Works well. Has main off and on switch on top and another power switch on side which makes me happy for safety. (Have 5 year old in house, he knows not to touch the shredder without me being right there). For small home office realize a smaller one would have been fine, but happy with this one, works great. Also checked consumer reports, I think this was rated best for size. I also realize most mail goes in garbage, less to shred than I thought, but still nice to have.
Simply Adequate This unit performs adequately in its intended job (shredding paper). I have two caveats with this unit. One, it does not shred the left corner of the paper, instead leaving a straight strip of paper. Two, the shred particles are too big. For example, I shred a bank statement and looked at a random shred and was able to read my entire account number. My best advice is this, safety is one thing, quality shredding is another. Look elsewhere.
