What's not so great:?Gets hot fast. "This is the best shredder I have ever used. It shreds the paper so small there is no chance of anybody getting your information. When you over use it, it will stop until it has cooled off.
I purchased this shredder for our office. It is the best shredder I have ever owned--period! I've had a number of shredders both at home and at the office and the Powershred MS-460Cs is quiet, well-built and shred paper to paper crumbs. It can truly shred 10 sheets at a time without any strain on the motor.
I was impressed with how many sheets this shredder can handle. I was also impressed on how if it happens to come across a staple, it stops and doesn't proceed (I was able to gently remove the paper, remove the staple and proceed shredding once again). I bought additional oil (anyone buying this, it is very important to buy additional shredder oil).
The 10 sheets of bond paper went through the shredder as they should. The size of the pieces is small.
I owed an older strip shredder by Fellowes that has worked well over the years. This new confetti shredder is a vast improvement in quiet and security (size of shred).
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. 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.
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.
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.
Fellowes manufactures another excellent product with the Powershred MS-460Cs. In comparison with other brands that claimed to do similar work, this machine looks and feels far sturdier.
This may be a good unit for paper, but is NOT suitable for credit cards. I put one credit card into this unit and it only strip cut it (versus confetti) and my account number was still readable.
