Customer Reviews

Fellowes P-55C Shredder
For the price this is a good paper shredder. Recommended also purchase shredder oil.
Do not use machine oil.
Why this machine:
1. Jams are also possible. But this gaget is sharp.
Do not pull paper out. Turn off. Wait a few minutes and restart.
2. Do not overload paper into the shredder.
3. Once a month oil the machine.

4. Over other machines this is the one to buy.
The machine is fit for the basket. Use plastic bags for the refuse.
The door to the cutters (on the bottom) open up and you can see if anything is stuck.
So far that has never happened.
When emptying the basket, Close the door to cutter to avoid having cut paper going all over the place.
5. How it works, When you first purchase the product the door is closed. But it may be open. The door stays open when operating. When pulling out, close the door.
6. Blades with door open may be brushed to rid of excess paper.
7. Oil prevents jams.
8. The product is not light weight. Heavy. You must use the basket that comes with the machine. You can use any other basket, or the machine will not work.
9. Advantage over similar priced, from reviews in Am. Com, and cheaper machines:
They get stuck with 3 pieces of paper being cut. Or turn off even before the daily
maximum is reached.
10. If you go to those Office site, Office Max, Office Depot, Staples you will pay more. In some cases way more. I purchased Fellowes P-55C Shredder at Staples
in a store. Fortunately for me, they were running a sale, plus an additional $10 off.
But that was a one time thing. Some of the Office stores are pricing Fellowes P-55C Shredder at over $90.
Conclusion: If you need a working machine get this one. It works. Unlike cheaper
machines it does not shut down. Cleaning is easy. This is probably for home use.
Not a home office, unless you do not have a lot of paper to cut. But it does the job.
When purchasing, do not forget the oil. Fellowes and others indicate the oil is necessary.

PS-55C Shredder
I've had my shredder for almost a month and it performs very well but is kind of noisy! If you exceed the 8 page limit when shredding it boggs down and jams and is hard to clear even using the reverse gear. Staying within the maximum limits I am very satisfied with the unit so far.

NO! NO! NO!
Save your money! This is the most cumbersome shredder I have ever used. The shredder top is very heavy and difficult to remove when emptying the basket and is very prone to paper jams, no matter the number of sheets inserted. The basket leaves the shredded paper exposed for children and pets to pull out onto the floor. Very poor design. I gave this one away and purshased another model. Again, save your $$$$$$!
