DISAPPOINTED
on December 11, 2011
Posted by: WILMA
I PURCHASED THE FELLOWES P-58Cs BECAUSE I LOOKED AT MANY ONLINE, READ REVIEWS, AND THOUGHT I HAD FOUND A GREAT PRODUCT AT A GREAT PRICE. ALTHOUGH IT WORKS VERY WELL, WHEN IT IS TIME TO EMPTY THE SHREDDED PAPER, THE LID HAS TO BE TAKEN OFF, ALLOWING SHREDDED PAPER TO FALL ALL OVER THE PLACE. SOME PAPER STAYS STUCK TO THE "SHREDDING" PART, NO MATTER HOW LONG THE POWER BUTTON AND THE MECHANISM IS RUNNING. MY PREVIOUS 2 SHREDDERS HAD PULL OUT DRAWERS, AND WERE MUCH LESS MESSY. VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!
Cons: Quality Construction
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Too noisy

Very noisy, too much trouble to empty basket, not the pull out type basket, you have to take the top part out, which is heavy & leaves a trail of shredded papar all over.
Pros: Quality Construction, Shreds Credit Cards, Staples and CDs, Safety Features, Secure Cut Size
Cons: Sheet Capacity, Mess Reduction, Quiet Operation
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Liked my old one better
on February 14, 2012
Posted by: homeworker
This is my 4th Fellowes, that is why when my last one broke I bought this one. I wish I had my old one back.I had it three years. This one doesn't hold as much, is very cumbersome to load and unload. Takes me at least three times to get it back in the basket correctly so it will run. The previous one just dropped right in place. It was heavy and solid. This one is thin and not made as well. I/O/R button is very loose and wobbles. Maybe it's supposed to be that way but it feels like it is going to break. It does shred quickly but instructions say I can use it for only 10-20 paper passses! I could run the other one indefinitely. I would not buy this model again. I didn't know I was supposed to use veg oil and I used regular 3 in one oil in the last one so I probably caused it to jam up. My fault.
Pros: Quiet Operation, Sheet Capacity, Safety Features, Secure Cut Size
Cons: Mess Reduction, Quality Construction, cumbersome to empty and put back together
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

P-58Cs shredder
on February 24, 2013
Posted by: ks65609
First shredder we have owned and after searching through consumer reviews we decided on this Fellowes model.
Very pleased with the operation and shredded an entire box of paper with no issues of overheating or jamming.
Easy to clean and found the window in the shredder container useful.
Safe Sense feature works very well with a useful off switch as well.
We feel the lubricating oil should have been supplied with the shredder however not a huge issue.

Its the 1st shredder I've owned. Very useful for shredding old credit card statements, bank statements, etc. It could be a little smaller in size.
I would recommend this to a friend!
