 Amazing... February 11, 2007

This shredder is simply amazing! Although it is only rated at a modest 7 sheets, which it will digest quite easily, it is still an impressive machine. I was particularly interested in it because of the MicroShred feature. Most standard cross-cut shredders cut pieces a little too large for my preference. This thing reduces paper to tiny particles - and I do mean tiny! They are about 1/6 the size of a typical cross-cut shredder! I've never seen anything quite like it - they look like small gravel in the basket. Putting 7 sheets of 20-lb paper thru it was no effort at all for this machine. It's also extremely quiet -- it hums rather than growls.
The CD and credit card shredder is a separate, strip-cut slot which can also devour thick pieces of unopened junk mail without missing a beat. The CD shreds drop into a small tray which sits on top of the paper basket. If you need high sheet capacity, consider its big brother the MS-460Cs, which cuts 10 sheets but carries a much higher price tag. But for a typical home or small office, this machine has plenty of capacity.
Big security for a small price February 22, 2007

If it shredded any finer I'd call it powder. I never expected such a high degree of security from a home shredder. Fellowes calls the MS-450Cs output "confetti"; I think it's more like sawdust! Like me, if you're sick of screening each page to tear the corner with the staple off before you feed it in, then this is the shredder for you. The MS-450Cs puts a smile on my face each time it quietly - very quietly - munches on small staples. A small price to pay for personal peace-of-mind.

This item is very quiet and shreds paper, credit cards, computer disks, etc. with a cut that nearly pulverizes it. Perfect for small businesses who need to dispose of customer credit card information and in general, feel confident that your data cannot be reconstructed.
Higher security than most other shredders in this price range June 2, 2007

I got this shredder for the 2mm x 8mm small particle sizes that it produces when shredding paper. Most other home or small office cross-cut shredders produce particle sizes at least twice that size, where it's still possible for particles of paper to be large enough to read the balance of an account, a phone number, or the full names of individuals. While the typical cross-cut shredders can still protect you fairly well from someone reconstructing a full address with an institution name and account number, I prefer to not even allow little tidbits of information to go through. The 2mm x 8mm particle size of the MS-450cs is probably the largest size that one can consider truly secure for home or business use, at least in my view, if you don't want anybody to even get little tidbits of information. It's probably overkill if you aren't that concerned about it. One usually has to spend many hundreds of dollars to get a paper shredder that produces the particle sizes of the fellowes MS-450cs (or it's big brother, the MS-460cs).
So if high security is your thing, if you don't want to spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars, and if you only need something for moderate usage, then this shredder is one of the few options currently available. It also comes with a bottle of paper shredder oil and some clear trash bags to fit the shredder. I really like the fact that I don't have to remove staples or paper clips too. It feels well built, and the disposal bin is easy to remove and replace. Little particles of paper still get loose on the floor while cleaning out the bin, but that is inevitable when you have particles sizes this small. I would also have liked to have a shredder that could shred a few more sheets of paper in one pass, but I didn't want to spend more money (as for the MS-460cs), and I didn't want a shredder that took up too much space. All in all, the MS-450cs was the right compromise for me, without compromising high security.

Long story short the first shedder I received didn't work (at all). I followed the return steps online. Sent it back-a new one was already on it's way. The 2nd shedder works like a dream, you can't even hear it run. I love it! I've never had to return anything before, but my goodness it was so easy-I didn't even mind. Thanks Amazon 5 stars all the way.
