MommaDO says "Great Shredder impossible to put a bag in" about Fellowes Powershred®SB-97CS Shredder

I work from home and need a shredder. I seem to go through one about every 9-18 months. This one seems really sturdy does the job very well, takes more than a fair number of pages without clogging. In addition it has a slot for cd's and credit cards, warnning lights and a reverse button. The bin slides out so you don't have to take off the top but if you try to put a bag in there to catch the paper it won't close. This is a poor design feature. I have tried bags made for shredders, grocery bags, garbage bags nothing works because the bin has to make contact and close in order for the unit to work. Other than having to climb on the floor and pick up bits of shredded paper every time I clean it out, I'm thrilled with it.

AmazinFan says "Very good for home use and protecting your personal information " about Fellowes Powershred®SB-97CS Shredder

Over the years I have purchased several shredders for home use and have never found one I was truly happy with, until I purchased Fellowes brand. This is a shredder capable of handling up to 12 sheets at a time. With its cross-cut design your personal, confidential papers will be useful to anyone trying to steal your identity.

However, since I am a bit hard to please I have to admit I do find it very cumbersome to empty the basket without making somewhat of a mess in the surrounding area. The basket is a very generous size making it great for not having to be emptied too frequently, but the drawback is a full basket that is difficult to manage without help.

I procrastinated way too long in the decision to buy a shredder for my home office. Because I work with confidential client information everyday, I had to manually tear up the paper work when it was no longer needed. I had looked at the reviews for some shredders in the past and was disappointed.

At year-end, I decided to take another look. I read the reviews for the Fellowes SB 97C and was impressed with what people had to say. I took a look around at prices and found that Office Depot had it for $250. Amazon, however, had it listed for $159 with free shipping. I took the bait and it was in my home office in 3 days.

This model has the Patented Safesense Technology that stops the shredder immediately when your hands get too close to the opening. It is touted as being ideal for heavy duty needs in the small/home office. It shreds up to 17 sheets per pass into cross cut particles. It accepts legal or letter size documents, credit cards, staples and paper clips. A designated...
