Love it November 14, 2008
J. Donovan (Washington, DC)
This unit is replacing a Fellows PS80C which served me for many years. I was getting less and less capacity out of PS80, and more frequent jams. I also wanted a shredder with a smaller particle size. I found too much was readable on the shreds of the old PS80. If you put a statement in sideways and it lined up on a cutter wheel you could still make out my name, or even most of an account number or account balance. br / br /So far the new MS-460Cs is great! br / br /First of all it is VERY quiet. I can do my bill paying/shredding in the evening even after the family has gone to bed. That would not have been possible with the older PS80. br / br /The MS-460 has a very deep throat where you feed paper before it gets to the cutters. I've found that this helps keep everything feeding square to the cutters and pages don't fold up and get doubled over. br / br /The unit senses load and reverses the cutters before a jam occurs. Depending on the thickness of the paper the capacity could be a few sheets less than the stated '10' and the brains of the 460 have saved me a few times already. br / br /On the older PS80 shredder it would have tried to eat the paper, and if I was unlucky would have jammed to the point of needing to dissemble the whole unit and remove the cutters to clear the problem. br / br /The shreds are much smaller than the old PS80 and stack into the waste bin with much less air between particles. Even though the PS80 and the MS460 are similar in size I'm finding I am getting 2-3 times the volume into the MS460. br / br /There is a separate container for the plastic shreds which is removable. This gives you a bit more space for paper in the main waste chamber. I think the cd/credit shredder is fine for CD's but strip cut is marginal for credit cards. To help address this feed the cards so that the long edge goes in first. That way the numbers are cut onto as many strips as possible. br / br /I work with industrial shredders at work, and this is definitely not one of those. This is a SOHO (small office/home office) unit, and if you keep than in mind the unit will work fine. Keep it oiled, keep the cutters cleaned, and don't try to shred 1000's pages in a sitting and this unit should keep your private papers private for years to come. br / br /4-stars, would be a 5 if the credit cards got cross-cut shredding.
Perfect on Paper and in the Home if Used Sensibly September 14, 2008

There is a large shredder at my work that gets extreme abuse every day... contract specialists shred fat contract documents one after another all day long, a fat fist-full of pages in every pass. And nobody ever empties the big bag even when it is about to explode from being so overstuffed. We hear about road rage on the highways, but shredder abuse is the untold vice in the office. If you are subject to shredder rage, leave that attitude at work because if you bring it home, you will not be satisfied with this shredder or any shredder built for home use. And you will do harm. br / br /I have used this machine at home for a couple of months now and am highly satisfied. It does what the ads say. It shreds paper very quietly into tiny pieces. It does so very smoothly, powerfully, and reliably. The tiny pieces pack together well, so you go longer before you have to empty the bin. There just is no comparison to my previous cross-cut shredder whose noise level seems like a jet engine by comparison. To continue enjoying all this great performance over time, you will have to do your part: drip some shredder oil on the blades after you empty the full bin, and refrain from running the machine beyond its limits. Don't shred unopened junk mail whole because that dumps the free (sticky) address labels, refrigerator magnets, note pads, and the horrible gum that sticks fake credit cards to the letters... all this sticky stuff into the precision machinery of the blades. Don't do it! In summary: Treat this Fellowe nice, and he will treat you nice. br / br /Here is some important info that is not easy to get from the amazon listing: The physical dimensions of the shredder outside the box are 15 inches wide x 26 inches tall x 13 inches deep. The Fellowes part number for replacement trash bags is 36052 (you don't have to use bags; they just make it easier to empty the bin when full). These bags are quite sturdy and hard to rip. There is a separate detachable container that fits inside and at the back of the bin to catch the shredded CDs/DVDs and credit cards. As noted by other reviewers, the machine has a separate slot for CDs/DVDs and credit cards and does not cross-cut them. These items drop from the blades in strips that are 3/8" wide and could be reassembled by an enterprising dumpster diver to get the name, number, and expiration date. br / br /
 Excellent Powerful Secure Shredder July 31, 2008

If you look up "Paper Shredder Security Levels" on the 'Net, you'll see that there are several different levels of destruction. After I passed a credit card statement through my old home shredder and could clearly read some of the numbers on it, I trashed it and bought the Powershred MS-460Cs. This baby shreds paper so well, it is nearly dust! In fact that is my only complaint about it... that it gets paper dust all over the place so I need to vacuum around it frequently. Despite that it is perfect for our home office with paranoid people. It's quiet enough that it won't wake up anyone else in the house when used late at night. I can stick entire unopened envelopes in it and they are shredded just fine.

Fellowes manufactures another excellent product with the Powershred MS-460Cs. br / br /In comparison with other brands that claimed to do similar work, this machine looks and feels far sturdier. br / br /The Fellowes is quieter and has the feel of a well built tool. br / br /It was shipped fully assembled in its factory packing inside another well packed box for safety. Upon removing it from the box, I found tiny remnants of a previous shredding job in the collection container-obviously a test from the factory to check quality. br / br /This beast finely shreds paper into bits that assure security, the reason I upgraded from a strip style shredder. Size of the shredded bits is crucial, but also noteworthy is that this machine cuts clean with no jagged edges to hold the bits together. Once something is run through this shredder, it is shredded for good. br / br /Motor noise is very low, even at full load. The noise is a hum instead of a grinding. br / br /It came with a container of blade lubricant and some container liners for the shredded pieces. This was a nice touch. br / br /I have a much older Fellowes strip-style shredder that I've used in my home office for nearly 8 years. It, like the various Fellowes models we have at work, has never failed me. br / br /I'm certain this newest machine will perform equally well for at least that long. After nearly two months of use it feels, sounds, and works like the first day. br / br /As a hint for shopping the various Fellowes offerings, I believe their accurate product descriptions are very helpful in determining what size and style machine to buy. br /
amazingly quiet March 14, 2008

Works great and is super quiet. The shreds are so tiny - think grain of rice. The SafeSense feature works well too. As others have pointed out, the CD and credit card shredder is a separate slot and shreds in rather large strips. Other than that, 100% satisfied.
