I got this to replace a Fellowes PS80 that was noisy and plagued by clogging or clumping. It's funny, my PS55 at home is older yet going strong, whereas the PS80 started going downhill fairly quickly.
It's quiet - I can use it with the baby sleeping in the next room without waking him up. In a couple years I'll get to appreciate the SafeSense, too - the shredder's top is a metal plate that stops the action when touched, so there's no fear of a child sticking it's fingers in the shredding slot. For personal use it's probably a bit large - I would have been happy with the smaller model, MS-450Cs, too, which is also less expensive.
This our third shredder. 1st was a decent one (all metal gears), second was an inexpensive one and both were broken by my wife putting in too much at once. The Powershred MS-460Cs is a great improvement over both of our previous shredders. We have had it a couple of months and are still amazed and thrilled by it.
That is once it starts getting pulled down it goes from straight flat to saucer shaped (curved) and as it gets near the end, it sometimes folds over on it self. I thought this might cause jams if there was enough paper placed in the slot, for about 1/4 inch of width it might be cutting 30 thickneses of paper instead of 10. I called Fellowes and they said this is typical with micro shrededders. However the more paper you put in it seems the less you see this effect happening.
Pros: Quiet. If you've ever tried out the shredders available at the national chain stores, you've probably been put off by how loud they are. The 460Cs is extremely quiet. Just a low hum while it shreds.

it has both back and forward buttons, an overheat indicator and the safety shutoff is a great comfort in case the grandkids go where they are not supposed to.
i appreciate the safety feature, but realize that one reviewer found that it was not sensitive to very small hands.
it's also super safe, as the motor shuts off if you touch anywhere on the faceplate, shredding ports, or anywhere else fingers could be in harms way.
