does what I need it to...barely. May 07, 2007
By DCtoMI
I am not a heavy-duty shredder. In fact, just a few old bills and some junk mail. However, this shredder does not handle even those small tasks well. I am constantly having to toggle the on/off switch just to get the job done. The paper gets stuck if I try and shred two sheets at a time (8-sheet my eye!). I would've sent it back if not for the pain of repacking the whole thing. Pretty disappointing.

 Piece of junk-do not buy Oct 14, 2009
By J. Janzen
Had one of these for about 2 years, light home use, used once or twice per week. Can only handle a few sheets at a time. Jammed regularly. Finally, the automatic-on switch broke, not from misuse, but because it is so poorly constructed. I took it apart and tried to fix it, but this thing is so poorly designed and constructed, that it basically falls apart if you try to fix anything. Now it's in the landfill. What a useless waste of the planet's resources making junky products like this. My next shredder will be a commercial quality unit and will not be made by Fellowes.

Disappointing second try Mar 14, 2007
By Gunther O. Stieneke
Even the second unit that I bought had the same problem: 1)m the automatic feed setting failed; unless the few pages it can shred are fed in perfectly square it stops shredding.2) Putting it in reverse does not clean up entirely. 3)Removing remaining paper shreds by hand takes in inordinate amount of time and effort. 4) It also means that one have to wait for hours until the unit recovers from the reverse action. 5)The automatic feed never came back.
Terrible; DO NOT Substitute for Scissors Apr 05, 2012
By Iwantmymoneyback
Bottom line...this thing needs to grow a pair. Eight sheets at a time is a complete falsehood. I have been nursing it along, feeding it ONE sheet at a time, and it can only get through about five to eight sheets before it calls time out. I accumulate more stupid Citi and American Express card offers than this weakling can keep up with! I have had this thing pulled apart at least four or five times to clean it out (paper constantly binds around the blades) and oiled it constantly. It seems like I can come home with the mail and say, "Guess what paper shredder...I got a credit card offer from Bank of America that I don't want!" And I swear my paper shredder will scream, "NOOO!!! Why do you abuse me the way you do!?" I didn't get this thing off of Amazon but bought it at a store for about $30. I should have just taken the ten and twenty out of my billfold at work and ran it through the industrial strength shredder there before leaving for the store. (I couldn't run that type of cash through the FELLOWES P-85...it would have jammed.) That being said; DON'T BUY THE FELLOWES P-85!!! Or run your money though a shredder that works.

 Multi Purpose Shredder Jan 09, 2007
By Pamela G. Meriam
This is one of the better shredders I have found for home/office use. It shreds credit cards, as well and per the suggestion of a friend, I used the shreddings to pack delicate Christmas ornaments. Hence, it truly aids in recycling.
