Mine did too . . .
on December 29, 2013
Posted by: Spikey
Like other reviewers, my machine made it a couple of years before the forward "gear" died with full reverse motion! I was shocked because my previous Fellowes shredder wore out rather than died out! It seems this model had a miscue; next timeI'll read reviews first . . .
Pros: Sheet Capacity, Shreds Credit Cards, Staples and CDs, Safety Features
Cons: quick warningless death
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Amazing piece of machinery

Posted by: Troyboi
This shredder is something else. Never before has my office been blessed by such a well engineered, fantastic, intuitive, awe-inspiring piece of hardware. Holy cow. It shredded stuff one would never think shred-able. 10/10 would recommend. I have my faith in this shredder. It will never let me down, ever. It was there for me when nobody else could. <3
Pros: Jam Resistance, Mess Reduction, Quality Construction, Safety Features, Sheet Capacity, Shreds Credit Cards, Staples and CDs, shreds everything
I would recommend this to a friend!

Please Don't Purchase -- You'll Regret it!
on September 16, 2013
Posted by: UnsatisfiedCustomer
I purchased the first Powershred® DS-1 Cross-Cut Shredder in 2010 and within 2 years the motor burned up. It was only used for home use but my wife liked the design so I purchased the second one from Amazon in December 2011. We have used it also for just occasional home use and now the on/off and auto feed switch is not working and I'm going to have to purchase another shredder. While it looks nice, it is a terrible waste of money and I'd never purchase another one. We have a Powershred® 79Ci 100% Jam Proof Cross-Cut Shredder at work that gets used 100 times more than this one and it has worked great from day one so I believe this is a poor design or manufacturing issue.
Pros: Safety Features
Cons: Warranty, Service Guarantee, Quiet Operation, Quality Construction, poor build quality, extremely loud
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Best purchase ever
on April 27, 2014

Purchased this many years ago for my home and business use. During that time others have used(abused) it, fed too many sheets sometimes jamming it, running it for extended periods (20 min and up) but with a little 3in one oil and me clearing the paper out she always keep going. Well they were finally able to strip the gears so now only can feed one sheet at a time if I am lucky. Time to replace it with the same style, and maybe fix this one if parts available as a back-up. With the tip out basket it is the easiest one I have found to empty.
Pros: Sheet Capacity, Quality Construction, Warranty, Shreds Credit Cards, Staples and CDs, Service Guarantee, Safety Features, Secure Cut Size, Jam Resistance, Mess Reduction, easy empty basket
Cons: Quiet Operation, could be alittle quieter
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very Functional and stylish product
on November 18, 2014
Posted by: theres
I had this same product that lasted 5 years. When it was time to replace it, I looked at other styles but came back to this one. There are very few (if any) other styles that you can pull the basket out from the front versus the top. I could not use a shredder that you emptied by removing the top due to the cabinet that is above this shredder.
Pros: Sheet Capacity, Quality Construction, Safety Features, Secure Cut Size
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello,
Our DS-1 shredder and the older model PS-55CC are pretty comparable units. Can you please clarify your concerns so that I am able to better explain and assist you? Thank you for choosing Fellowes!

This has been the first shredder that I have owned that has never given me any problems. It does what it was designed to do.

I compared several shredder and I stopped on Fellowes DS1 for his size, the appearance of the product (office at home), the features, less noisy than the others, great capacities of the container and naturally the very competitive price. Bravo, for the great product quality for home office.
