 Good choice for home office May 19, 2008
I bought this to replace an older Fellows Shredder that died from a hopelessly clogged cutting mechanism, probably due to overfeeding. I think it was still under warranty, but I figured it wasn't worth the hassle or the cost of shipping to get it fixed, especially since Amazon had such a good price on this one.
The PS-77Cs easily handles 10 to 12 sheets at a time, including those annoying credit card offers and solicitations for charities I've never heard of that seem to show up daily, chopping them to bits, envelope and all. It's very adequate for my home office, but it would probably be insufficient for a larger office.
It has a 5-year warranty, which is reassuring, although I have to wonder about the cost of shipping such a heavy item someplace for repair. Shredders at this level are, IMHO, like toasters and DVD players -- generally not worth the cost of repairs, especially if you can write it off as a business expense.
I especially like the safety feature of the PS-77Cs that stops the cutting mechanism instantly if you touch the area around the slot where you feed the paper into the shredder. My grandkids are fascinated with the thing, and I feared that there could be an accident with the old machine, which lacked this feature. That's another reason I decided to buy a new one rather than try to fix the old shredder.
 Fellowes 32177 May 15, 2008
Great product. I made sure I did my homework and read up as much as I could on all the available shredders. I needed one that was going to be able to handle a year's worth of paperwork and old bills in a day. This handled it just fine and was quiet while doing it too. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for a medium to heavy shred load.
Shred anything May 14, 2008
After much hunting down for a shredder, I chose the Fellowes 32177 Powershred PS-77C. This is just what i needed for home/office use. It shreds a nice stack of paper (about 15 sheets or so) and also does a good job with the CD's and Credit Cards. The shredder is quiet as can be for a shredder. Quality is good. The plastic bin is just perfect, and it's super easy to take out the bin to toss the shredded paper. The safety touch thing is very cool too. All in all perfect for my needs. I Recommend it.
Works great! May 8, 2008
I've only had this a little while, but it chews up everything I throw at it. The greatest thing is I don't even have to open those pesky credit card offers; I can just feed in the whole envelope! It's a lot quieter than my old shredder, too.
Great confetti shredder for junk-mail and light-med use May 7, 2008
I purchased this after reviewing other medium-class shredders, and I'm happy with my purchase! I'm a heavy CD-shredder, and this unit hasn't failed for 2 months and 150 CDs later. It's not loud, but I have mine placed in an home-office. I don't see why you would shred while watching a movie, so noise is honestly not an issue for my home use.
The safety feature can sometimes be annoying; when your hand lingers nearby it will sometimes stop and blink at you, but not often or annoying enough to knock the product down any stars. It's top heavy, and since I don't move it often it's not an issue, but it was heavier than I expected.
The container behaves as you'd expect - when you pull it open little confetti spills out, but this is standard with this design. The cleanup is not as bad as I have experienced with other units.
I would recommend this shredder to home users, looking to shred their junk-mail (in envelope) along with their normal paperwork and media/cards. It performs above average, looks good, isn't loud, and does a nice confetti size (small).
Pros:
* Great unit at pricepoint
* Shreds large number of papers (including full junk-mail envelopes)
* Durable
* Consistent performance
* Shreds Media and paper
* Small confetti size
Cons:
* Little on the heavy size (if you move yours)
* Requires cleanup when you open the container
Full Disclosure: This shredder is being used mainly for junk-mail and your normal household paper-clutter (bills, statements, invoices, etc), with heavier than normal card and CD shredding. I maintain it by oiling after every full bag, and turn it off (entirely in the back) when not in use. I have had no issues with jams, but occasionally Media shredding will spit out little plastic pieces.
