User Reviews about Fellowes Powershred MS-450Cs Safe Sense 7-sheet Confetti Cut Shredder

Was disappointed that it does not feed the paper through automatically--have to hold down a button to get the item to go through. However, it is a very good shredder and handles anything put into it. -- Fellowes confetti cut shredder

I searched a long time for a replacement for a previous shredder. Looked on the internet, went to Staples, Office Depot etc. to make sure as best I could that I got the best product for my needs...I also wanted a micro cut. I settled on the MS 450Cs based on the specifications and reviews I read on the Internet and Amazon. I was still a little hesitant since this is the type of product that I would like to have tried first rather than just order on line. Problem was none of the brick and morter stores had one. So I ordered it on Amazon (where by the way you'll get the best price and quick delivery) but decided to keep the shipping box just in case. Well the fact is I couldn't be happier. The product has exceeded my expectations. Ive had it about two months, use it every day in my home office and it's works flawlessly. Talk about quiet. You can barely hear it in the same room and it never jams. It comes with a separate bin for credit cards and cd's that fits into the larger bin. Cd's and credit cards are strip cut so I would suggest that if you're shredding credit cards you run the strips through a second time. Personally I don't use the smaller bin since it also cuts down on the larger bins volume. Emptying the bin couldn't be easier but there is a little paper dust because of the micro cut. -- Fellowes MS 450Cs review

I usually don't waste my time writing reviews, but I felt the need to for this shredder. I am the type to research the heck out of things before buying and after having several shredders die on me (ranging from $40-$100) I decided I needed to up the ante. I read mannnny reviews on mannnny sites and settled one this one-Glad I did.
This shredder is AWESOME. I have had it for about 3 months and love it. This is not a shredder-it's a paper annihilator!!!...the paper comes out in squares less than 1/8" by 1/8" -TINY.
I use it mainly for junk mail, bank statements etc. and it easily handles multiple and thick papers.
It's REALLY quiet too and does not need to be emptied often. Keep a check on the shred level, once it's about 3/4 full in the front window, shake the bin a little before opening and all the "dust" settles, push down to compress and you have another week or so before you need to empty. Shake the bin before emptying and you have no shred mess. -- You CAN'T go wrong-Don't waste your time researching-I already did!

A very good product, nothing phases it except continuous use. Overheats easily after about 30 consecutive feeds of five pages, then requires at least 30 minutes powered off. Desperately needs a cooling fan added. -- Overheats

I have had this shredder for just a few days, and I am very happy with it. Even though this unit costs $178, much more than the traditional shredders, it is well worth that expense. The shredder has four wheels, it is very quiet, the paper turns out shredded smaller than confetti, making it impossible to read. It has a safety feature that it will not work if there is something over the opening, like your hand, or a pet, or a child. I do notice that it gets hot after just a few minutes and the manual notes that it is not to be used more than 8 minutes at a time; this is a limitation, but overall, it turned out to be a great buy, and it arrived by FedEx, with no shipping charge, a savings of around $30, since this shreddeer weighs around 35 pounds. -- A powerhouse!
