Fellowes DS 1

Cons: A slightly short cord.

The Bottom Line: This is a good deal if you like to sort through the mail and get rid of half of it.

Review: We recently upgraded to the Fellowes DS-1 Shredder after I moved in with my fiancee. He is one who never throws things out. And I throw everything out, and that made him nervous. So now he shreds all the junk mail and anything else we don’t ...

Pros: Safety, Security, Ease of Use and Quality of Destruction.

Cons: Slightly loud motor

The Bottom Line: Works for you, not against you. Excellent for home use.

Review: The Fellows DS-1, when compared to other shredders I have had over the years comes out on top. There are many shredders on the market that are two-piece units. Two piece units are basically a shredder head that sits on the container in which the ...

Pros: Works like they all should, it just does it's job.

Cons: Have not found any as of yet.

The Bottom Line: Truth, this shredder is actually a joy to own.

Review: We had a Royal shredder (you can lookup my review on that shredder here) that even thou it was still working, was just to big a pain to use. It jammed, it collected paper in the cutters and it was difficult to empty. Both my wife and I were tired of ...

Pros: Easy to use and functions very well. Attractive styling. SafeSense technology

Cons: Have not found any so far.

The Bottom Line: An excellent choice for a home office or personal use.

Review: I have wanted to purchase a shredder for the longest time having been a victim of identity theft the past two years. I finally purchased the Fellowes DS-1 after doing some research online and have been very happy with the shredder so far. I purchased ...

Pros: Easy set up

Cons: None so far

Review: Great deal, works great. Sam's closing them out. Almost bought at office max on sale for $70 and stumbled across this one at Sam's. Great deal for the ...

Pros: Cuts fantastically. Doesn't malfunction. Loves me for who I am.

Cons: It just won't stop working perfectly!!!

Review: My experience using this confetti shredder has been a dream! The shredder I was issued at work would malfunction all the time. This shredder cuts my documents beautifully, and it would take a congregation of people to carefully piece it back to it's ...

Pros: Safe sense sensor, works, attractive.

Cons: motor is a little noisy.

The Bottom Line: A good paper shredder for a good price, but the motor is a little noisy.

Review: About a month ago, my husband was going to Office Max, and so I said- “get a paper shredder.” The one we had was just a simple strip cut Mainstays brand shredder, and I think I was on the verge of killing it. So, he came back with Fellowes ...

Pros: Ease of use to start with.

Cons: Had a very short life.

The Bottom Line: Don't bother with this machine. It doesn't last long enough to even hassle getting it or disposing of it.

Review: I received this shredder on a Monday. It worked nicely, if not a bit noisily. I had one jam, but was able to get it cleared after working with it a while. On Friday, it wouldn't work. The green "go" light was lighted, it was turned on, but the motor ...

Pros: Good shredding power.

Cons: Fellowes Powershred DS-1 shredder not reliable beyond 1 year base warranty.

Review: I have used the Fellowes Powershred DS-1 shredder at home for 16 months. It has never shown the red overheating light. No problems with paper jams. Now, suddenly it will no longer run in the forward shredding direction. Still runs fine in reverse. ...

Pros: Works for a short period of time

Cons: Failed shortly after warranty expired

Review: Have used this unit for 18 months. 18 months of blissful shredding, filling the paper box, useful security feature with a magnetic gizmo that recognizes if anything but paper is present and auto shuts-off. While cleaning out our office and shredding a ...
