I used to buy the cheap shredders and throw them out when they burnt out. For the price of this I should have purchased this Fellows powershred 73ci a long time sfo and would have saved a bundle. Has never overheated and will shred credit cards and cds. The entire family uses it and it is very safe.

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 am very impressed with thus shredder. I ordered one for our small office a week ago and we love it! We had an older Fellowes shredder model and it stopped working on us. I decided to still stick with the Fellowes brand by ordering something similar, which is the Powershred 73Ci model.

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.

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!!!!!

Great shredder for personal or small office use.

With so many different types of shredders out there, it was conceivably difficult to select one over the other. Most machines have similar features as well. A feature on this unit is that there's the auto-safety which prevents the shredder from jamming up.

Performance

Having had some time to put the Fellowes Powershred 12-Sheet 100 Percent Jam Proof Cross-Cut Shredder (73Ci) through its paces, I am very pleased with its performance. It has a voracious appetite for paper, CDs and Credit Cards, all of which it eats quite easily.

For the price and the quality this product is excellent. shredds through paper clips, staples, credit cards and cd's.

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!
