Fellowes Powershred PS-77Cs

$152.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
what i don't like about the ps-77cs shredder is that it shreds slower than my old ps-80 (probably because of the more powerful motor for shredding 12 sheets versus 5 sheets with my old ps-80).
from www.amazon.com
but in the maintenance section of the intructions, it says to use the oil if motor sounds different or shredder stops running and it shows you how to use it.
from www.mwave.com
that puts more stress on teh gears and motor.
from www.amazon.com
the housing is made of cheap/flimzy plastic and buckles under the weight of the motor and cutting assembly.
from www.amazon.com
i was disappointed, i had to un-clog the cd from the motors.

$380.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
after going through three cheap department-store specials in as many years and having the motors fail in all of them, i broke down and bought a real shredder.
from www.amazon.com
paper is chopped into tiny mulch, and the motor is rated to run for up to 10 minutes continuously before requiring time to cool down.
from www.amazon.com
motor noise is very low, even at full load.
from www.amazon.com
if you shred a lot of pages at once the overheat will turn the motor off.

Fellowes Powershred P-57CS

$65.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
with 5 sheets, i could hear the motor bog down a bit but it still did the job.
from www.amazon.com
i had a low-end fellowes shredder before and its motor finally burned out.
from www.amazon.com
the top (with the motor and blades) doesn't fit so the trigger switch (in the bottom basket) will activate the shredder, unless you exert pressure on the top.
from www.amazon.com
item was returned due to the fact it could not even shred one sheet without over working motor.
from www.amazon.com
finally, this motor seems very noisy and underpowered.

from www.amazon.com
my old one did not have - a bin that could be removed without touching the shredder assembly itself, on wheels so i could move it around my office, a reverse/anti jam feature, and a quieter motor.
from www.amazon.com
once out of the packaging, it was obvious the cutting heads and motor were heavy duty and contributed to the weight.
from www.pcnation.com
the motor overheated, the shredder jammed, and it no longer worked.
from www.amazon.com
lastly, it has a touch sensor that will keep the motor off if touched by fingers---great if you have small children, or if you aren't paying much attention because you don't find watching paper shred
from www.amazon.com

from www.amazon.com
it features a strong motor and shredder teeth.
from www.amazon.com
it's much more than a fashion statement, with a a powerful motor, a great cross-cut shredder blade system, and more feet per minute of shredding capacity than similarly priced units.
from bradshawcl, www.shopping.com
cons: motor is a little noisy.
from saulsse, www.shopping.com
cons: slightly loud motor the bottom line: works for you, not against you.

from www.amazon.com
the most that i've been able to run through it was 5, maybe barely 6, sheets but every time it sounded like the motor was choking on that load.
from www.amazon.com
the motor starts when it senses something in the input slot.
from www.amazon.com
the motor is heavy -- it definitely feels up to the task -- and it sits atop a plastic housing with a removable basket.
from www.amazon.com
* very powerful and quite motor

from www.amazon.com
the motor is so quiet that the main thing you hear while it is doing its job, is the actual sound of the blades pulverizing whatever you are feeding into it.
from www.amazon.com
it has a much bigger motor and feels very heavy duty.
from www.pcnation.com
pros motor is strong, is pretty quite, and does a good job on the shredding.
from www.amazon.com
the unit has plenty of capacity and has a excellent motor (doesn't seem to slow down when shredding ten documents at time).

i believe that if the motor had just a little bit stronger it would be a great cd/dvd shredder too!
from www.amazon.com
and receipts (unlike some fellowes models); it will chug through multi-sheets, but i don't recommend pushing it to capacity (ten sheets) as one can really hear the motor start to labor and slow down.
from www.circuitcity.com
the motor constantly stays on instead of in an 'auto' mode.
