Fellowes Powershred P-35C Cross-Cut Shredder

We have had this one for few years. Only on light duty. Kept lubricated. No heavy duty work like staples, credit cards, DVDs. It stopped feeding on "auto" but would still reverse. The "nylon" housing that holds the shredder blades has broken and is unrepairable. OK....it is a cheap shredder but for it to fail in the way is unacceptable in my view.

I have just purchased a P 35C shredder based on its looks and proposed abilities, but I feel it may not be substantial enough for use. It also looks like I am not able to register this product as I am not in the USA or Canada but England, which is part of the United Kingdom, currently in Europe, before it fails. I will give it a week and if it lasts that long maybe I was wrong.

The P-35C is without doubt the worse shredder I've ever had. And I've had a few in my life. Problems: 1) It doesn't adequately shred credit cards) 2) it doesn't hold much (I know it's a small one), &3) you always have to pull strips of paper from the corners.

Bought one yesterday, Used it to filled-bin capacity three times. Now it only works in reverse. It's been oiled etc. and no more than 5 sheets have been shredded at once. Going back to shop tomorrow. Poor piece of kit. I cannot recommend it. Will attempt to change it for another make. Certainly very unhappy with Fellowes. As its an Australian product, perhaps in the UK I should try to use it upside down.

Best value for your money! This is a very economical and for me does all that I needed to do. Best part is that is the quietest shredder I've very used. Thanks a lot for a great bargain.
