 Great Bang for your buck February 27, 2007

I had 7 years of documents/financial statements at home and wanted to get rid of them.
This little fellow did a fine job taking care of that.
A couple of points:
- The sensor was a bit annoying. A lot of the statements are folded and with the sensor on, the machine would stop a few times until I wiggled the doc. So I turned the sensor off.
- It would get hot after a few minutes of constant shredding. The first time I used it, I think I went on 10 minutes of constant shredding. It was running a bit slow, so I decided to put some oil. When I came back with the oil, it wouldn't turn on. I had to wait half an hour for it to cool down and decide to work again.
- I generally shred 2 or 3 pages together. It works perfectly. It has a hard time shredding more than that.
Overall, it's an excellent bang for your buck (if you're just shredding your personal statements). If you own a business and need to shred a lot of documents, I would recommend a more robust one.
Great budget shredder! November 20, 2007

I have had this shredder for about 6 months. I only use the shredder a few times a month, but it has worked flawlessly. It is quieter than my old shredder, which was three years old. It is relatively quick and shreds relatively easy, unless I try to shred 8-10 pages at one time, but it still works well. The sensor takes some time getting use to since I sometimes shred paper that is folded and I would touch the sensor often. Other than that, I do not have any complaints and I would highly recommend this shredder, especially given the price.
Exactly what I need - shuts off when cats paws touch!! August 15, 2007

I've had this for about a month now, and I use it daily. So far, everything has worked better than expected. There haven't been any issues with any part of the device, and the shredder does indeed handle 8 sheets without trouble.
I'm the kind of person that likes to leave things on. My computer stays on 24/7 because I don't want to be bothered with waiting for it to reboot. Same goes for the printer. I just don't want to stand up, lean over to the printer, and press the ON button. Undoubtedly, this is not energy conscious, and in every other aspect of my life I *am* energy conscious. Anyway...
So I like to leave my shredder on too. Even if I didn't, the chances of me forgetting to turn it off are very high. The first thing I did when I tested this unit was to *VERY CAREFULLY* brush the metal lip with the paw of one of my cats, and was extremely happy to see the orange light go on - which means that the unit has disabled.
I'd read one too many forwarded e-mails about cats being caught in shredders somehow to NOT have this in my house. I'm delighted to report that it works as advertised.
(Very) pleasantly surprised! August 23, 2007

I haven't had much luck with low-cost shredders, but this one really surprised me. I've had it for about six months and have used it a LOT. So far, so good. As long as you don't cram too much paper in at one time... and you let it "rest" after 10 minutes of continuous use... this shredder will not disappoint. In fact, it exceeded my expectations. It's easy to operate, easy to empty, and it shreds credit cards as promised. I'm a satisfied customer!
My First Shredder -- Very Satisfied March 9, 2007

I spent many weeks looking for a good deal and finally settled on the P-57Cs, my first shredder. It works really well and shreds 8 lightweight sheets fine, but if the paper is a heavier weight, it bogs down or occasionally jams. After awhile, you get the hang of how much you can feed it without jamming. The shredder mechanism sits on top of a trash can and must be removed to empty. It gets a little messy (paper shreds fall on floor) while trying to shred 10 years worth of documents but it should be fine when I get into a more normal shredding pattern. I bought the oil too, but the manual says to "only use a non-aerosol vegetable oil in a long nozzle container" so you might find a better deal at your local grocery store. The manual says to run it for 5-7 minutes at a time which will fill up the basket about 1/2 to 2/3 full. Overall, after about 5 days now, I am very pleased with this shredder and am glad I didn't order the larger size, which I had also considered.
