After my third Staples $40 shredder bit the dust, I knew it was time to get serious already, which means go to Amazon to read the reviews and be prepared finally to not be a cheapskate with the next (and hopefully last) shredder. Here's why this shredder is better and worth the extra money:
1. No more lifting the very heavy top (which includes the cutter) up to dump the contents of the bin into a plastic waste bag. With this fabulous model, you pull the bin out and you NEVER have to lift the top.
2. It has a larger capacity and if you buy the special waste bags (which you're nuts NOT to buy), "Fellowes Powershred Waste BAGS 100PC/ROLL Fits All Prsnl Shredders" ($20.99), you just pull out the bin, lift up and tie the waste bag, and down the garbage chute. No mess on the floor from emptying the stupid basket into a big garbage bag. I hated that!!!
3. It shreds JUST FINE. If I have a lot of shredding to do, I set the timer to 10 minutes and then stop shredding for about 5 minutes. This is VERY IMPORTANT.
4. It has a reverse button which keeps the cutting mechanism free of crap build-up. The user manual says, "Run regularly in reverse for one minute." Now that I don't have a ton of shredding but just a few sheets a day, I run the reverse button for a few seconds after each short shredding session.
5. I've had it for 3 months now and have not once lifted the [very very heavy] top off the bin/basket. That's worth the price of admission in and of itself.
6. I also bought the oil:
Fellowes Powershred Lubricant Cutter Oil for Confetti-Cut Shredders (35250) $6.99. Haven't used it yet. But in the maintenance section of the intructions, it says to use the oil if motor sounds different or shredder stops running and it shows you how to use it. It seemed dumb not to buy the oil and I'm glad I have it.
I love this shredder and so will you!Get more detail about Fellowes 32177 Powershred PS-77Cs Shredder.
