Ordered a shredder for our school (last one died!). Collected it quickly and easily from my local Sainsbury's who have an Argos inside. Shredder does exactly what it says it does and service at the counter was excellent. Couldn't have been better buying my shredder!!!!!

Seems to be a very well made shredder with a display to indicate whether or not you're overloading it. Can't rate durability at this time but expect it to be very good given the initial quality.

I've been using this shredder for less than two months and now it appears to be totally dead. No idea what happened - no power, no response. Will contact B&H in the morning but beware. It's a big heavy item to box up and ship back...total drag.

The shredder does what it says on the tin and seems really high quality, gobbles up the paper. The only downside is that it's pretty noisy, we've had to put it in a remote corner of the office so that it doesn't affect people on the phone. It sounds very much like a dentist drill!

This shredder is everything it promises to be. It is super quiet, can handle the 12 pages, credit cards, CDs and jam-proof!! Who could ask for more. I was leary but am so glad I decided to get this model.

quiet handles 12 pages jam-proof

no cons!

The Fellowes Powershred 73Ci shredder ($199.99) is a good fit for personal or home-office use, or light duty in a tiny office. It's simple to use, shreds items other than paper, and performed mostly as billed. It also has a nice safety feature to protect curious hands or paws.

Shreds CDs, paper clips, staples, and credit cards, as well as paper; Touch-screen controls; Safety features; Simple to use; Matched its rated speed in our testing

Filling to its rated sheet capacity generates overload warning; Not quite as jam-proof as promised

Great shredder for personal or small office use.
