 Exceeded my high expectations November 26, 2007

My previous shredder was a 1999 Fellowes PS-80, which still works like new, after reliably shredding thousands of documents over the past 8 years. In order to protect my hearing, I have been wearing industrial ear muffs whenever I shred more than a few pages with this old machine. When I read about this new "quiet" MS-460Cs shredder, I decided it was time for an upgrade.
Based on the advertising and the reviews, I expected the shredder to be quiet, but am amazed at HOW quiet this new machine is. The roar of my old PS-80 has been replaced by the gentle hum of the MS-460Cs. I can continue a phone conversation or listen to the radio while the shredder is running. I can leave my hearing protection gear in the garage, where it belongs.
The paper shredding performance is robust, as described in some other reviews. 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. This is more than adequate for my needs.
There is a second, smaller opening for CDs and credit cards, which shreds items into strips. This is a security compromise, as I believe that a motivated thief could reconstruct a strip-shredded credit card and reconstruct the account number. To get a true cross-cut shred for the credit card, I feed the strips back into the shredder horizontally for a second pass. This is inconvenient, but it acceptable since credit card shredding is fairly infrequent for me.
The controls are simple and intuitive. A Green LED indicates when the power is ON. There is an automatic sensor which turns the blades forward when papers or CDs / Credit Cards are inserted. There are also manual "ON" switches for both forward and reverse, which is convenient for maintenance or for shredding small items which do not trigger the automatic sensors. A 4 ounce bottle of oil is included with the shredder.
This machine has advanced safety features. I was especially impressed how this shredder automatically and instantly pauses the motor and illuminates an orange LED if a person touches any area near the blades. The motor also stops if the waste basket is removed.
The machine is tall, but fits nicely under my desk and easily rolls out on the included casters. There are recessed handles in the front and back of the machine to facilitate carrying the shredder if you are not able to roll it across your floor.
If you can afford the price, the MS-460Cs is a good value considering the quiet and robust shredding performance, safe, easy to use design, and Fellowes track record of building reliable, long lasting equipment.
Note - I am in no way affiliated with Fellowes or Amazon, but I do have high standards and appreciate a quality product.
best shredder on the market May 27, 2007

This is the best shredder on the market. It is so quiet and it really does a great job. I like the fact that it makes what you shred into so many tiny pieces and the container holds so much. Great product for the price
Very quiet October 9, 2007

Bought this model to replace another more basic Powershred which has worked perfectly for 4 years without any maintenance. Replacement was driven by a need to shred CDs, DVDs & credit cards, and the Safe Sense technology seemed essential now I have a child.
Paper shredding is very quiet (on an absolute scale, not just compared to its predecessor). Shredded pieces are the smallest I have observed of any shredder.
CD/DVD/credit card shredding is only strip cut not confetti cut. I might have missed that detail in the product information, or maybe confetti cut of CD/DVD/credit cards is not yet available, or not available at this price point. This was a minor disappointment but not sufficient to lead me to drop a star.
I am not a heavy volume user (haven't been since I signed up on the don't-send-me-any-more-credit-card-offers site), so I can't speak to its ability to work effectively over extended periods, but for my relatively light use, assuming the quality of the brand has been sustained, I foresee this model serving me well for several years.
Great Shredder January 27, 2008

Given that my last shredder purchase was in the late 90s, maybe I'm easily impressed, but to say this shredder is excellent is an understatement. It was probably one of the best home office purchases I've made in a while.
When I read the previous reviews about how quiet it was, I kept telling myself, "yeah, people are just saying that." Let me tell you, this thing is QUIET. It easily takes on 5-10 sheets at a time and does it with minimal noise compared to other shredders I demoed at local office supply stores. You could be on the phone, watching TV or doing anything and you wouldn't be interrupted with the loud "growling" other shredders make.
Now, sure, noise is an important factor - but let's face it - the purpose of a shredder is to shred. How does this thing do? Let's put it this way, if the pieces were any smaller you'd call it "dust"! Ok - so a little exaggeration there - but the pieces are so small I couldn't believe it. NOTHING in the local stores came close. Even a heavy duty shredder at work (noisier by the way) doesn't cut stuff up this small. If you want security - this is it. Again, you don't give anything up to get the small pieces and quiet operation. It's pretty fast. I shredded up 120+ pages in just a few minutes.
Capacity is good. I had a lot of shredding to get caught up on when my old scanner bit the dust, but I've only filled about 1/3 of the bin. They also throw in some oil and clear bags, a nice touch, so you are ready to go out of the box. Oh, prepare yourself, this is a heavy box that shows up on your doorstep!
My only gripe, and it is a very small gripe, is the credit card shredder. The pieces aren't that small - and you really need to run the pieces through again - to ensure a relatively good shred. Obviously if you run a CD/DVD through it the disc will be rendered useless, but with a credit card if the thief can get your numbers, exp. date, and code from the back, they are golden, and I wish the shred mechanism there would be far smaller pieces.
Overall this is probably one of the best office machines I've ever bought for home use. I recommend it fully - and yes, it's pricey, but it's a good investment. I'm hoping this machine will be around for many years as I can't imagine finding another machine at this price point, with the quietness, speed, thoroughness and capacity.
HAPPY SHREDDING!

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.
The Fellowes is quieter and has the feel of a well built tool.
It was shipped fully assembled in its factory packing inside another well packed box for safety. Upon removing it from the box, I found tiny remnants of a previous shredding job in the collection container-obviously a test from the factory to check quality.
This beast finely shreds paper into bits that assure security, the reason I upgraded from a strip style shredder. Size of the shredded bits is crucial, but also noteworthy is that this machine cuts clean with no jagged edges to hold the bits together. Once something is run through this shredder, it is shredded for good.
Motor noise is very low, even at full load. The noise is a hum instead of a grinding.
It came with a container of blade lubricant and some container liners for the shredded pieces. This was a nice touch.
I have a much older Fellowes strip-style shredder that I've used in my home office for nearly 8 years. It, like the various Fellowes models we have at work, has never failed me.
I'm certain this newest machine will perform equally well for at least that long. After nearly two months of use it feels, sounds, and works like the first day.
As a hint for shopping the various Fellowes offerings, I believe their accurate product descriptions are very helpful in determining what size and style machine to buy.
