Great Shredder.......2007-09-22
So far, I am very pleased with this shredder. I have gone through two previous shredders where the motor died for no reason. I decided to spend more this time and based on the others reviews, this seemed like a good deal. It has easy shredded everything I have put in. It also has a nice flip top feature that allows for easier unjamming if you accidently put too many papers in. Just beware, this is a powerful motor but not a quiet one.
Love it!.......2007-09-21
This shredder replaced a very old one that we had. I am very happy with the purchase. I have several boxes of papers to shred from my parent's home and it has performed very well. I love the ability to shred credit card and the easy-to-empty container. I usually feed in 3-4 sheets at a time although the capacity is for up to 12. I have a lot to shred so I'm trying to get more through it before it heats up. The safety feature works wonderfully...I have a young daughter and the minute you touch the area to feed in the paper it stops. I would purchase this shredder again without hesitation.
Satisfactory Product.......2007-09-20
This little beast works as advertised. It can handle a good amount of paper in one session, doesn't jam (as long as you don't try to shove like, 20 pages in at a time), swallows staples without complaint, and easily deals with CDs and credit cards through the special slot.
Like others have commented, my only complaint is the flimsy construction of the base. The shredding unit at the top is significantly more massive than the base. The poor structural rigidity of the base makes it difficult to assemble (even though the assembly itself is quite quick), difficult to move, and difficult to empty and reinsert the waste basket portion. It's nowhere near a fatal flaw, however, but an extra few cents put into manufacturing and this would have been a much sturdier unit.
Overall, I'm quite satisfied and would highly recommend this to anyone seeking to help protect their private information. If you're looking for a powerful shredder at an affordable price, look no further than this unit.
shred for life.......2007-09-20
I feel so much more secure in knowing that all my private information is being destroyed in an acceptably manner. This "Fellowes" shredder is quiet and capable of handling up to a twelve sheet thickness.
Perfect for home use....(probably not for office).......2007-09-20
I'm a full time college student and my sister is a school teacher and we always have so many things to shred. This thing shreds just right, small enough that it is impractical for anyone to read. I've shred papers with staples, cds, old credit cards and it has worked well for me. The basket is large enough to shred for a while that you won't need to dump it out everyday. The frame is a little flimsy though but for the price and performance it has, this definitely makes shredding all sort of things fun. It does occasionally get paper jam though but that's usually only when I feed it a huge stack of papers :(

Customer Reviews:
Enhanced Performance!.......2007-08-10
I spoke with Fellowes, they say it's OK to use regular cooking vegetable oil (canola, etc.) in their machines, but only temporarily, not in the long run, because regular vegetable oil may become sticky and start smelling rancid. I'll stick with the dedicated oil and give it just 4 stars since there exists an alternative. I will, however, give Fellowes 5 stars for their candor. Also, as others have pointed out, be careful not to cut too big a chunk of the dispenser nozzle's tip, so you won't waste oil when oiling your machine.
Impressive.......2007-08-05
I have a Staples 15-sheet shredder for which I purchased the Fellowes lubricant oil. After a single thorough application, the shredder gradually returned to its optimum performance. I used the generic office store brand oil before, and it seems that Fellowes lubricant delivers a difference you can hear.
You Don't Need This.......2007-07-31
My fellowes powershredder says clearly in the instructions that you can use vegetable oil, a much cheaper alternative, to oil the shredder. Save your money!
Great Protection for Your Shredder Investment.......2007-07-22
We only buy Fellowes shredders and have found them very reliable. I originally purchased the oil for the cutters directly from Fellowes a couple of years ago; the bottle was smaller and more expensive at the time. I was quite pleased to find this product available from Amazon at a good price and larger bottle.
I think a lot of people buy a shredder, not knowing that it does need some maintenance to keep it in top shape. Besides not overloading your shredder's capabilities or shredding material that you shouldn't, the next best thing you can do to protect your investment is to regularly lubricate the cutters. This reduces wear, noise, and can prevent the teeth from breaking.
Be sure to read the instructions for your particular shredder, however, about the type of oil to use and the frequency. You may be tempted to use other types of oil you already have around your house or WD-40 or something, but many of those things are flammable and will only serve to damage your shredder or worse.
As another reviewer said, be careful when cutting the tip on the bottle because if you make it too big, the oil will be harder to control.
Not compatible with the Royal 160MX.......2007-06-13
Amazon says other customers ordered this with the Royal 160MX, but the Royal manual says do not use petroleum-based lubricants. I'm giving mine away. It DID arrive really quickly, though.

Customer Reviews:
Fellowes shredder.......2007-09-19
So far, so good. Have had product for about 2 weeks with no problems. Shreds effectively but struggles with more than 5 sheets at once. However, I am not doing heavy duty shredding so it is not a problem. I usually shred each day's unnecessary home mail, the whole process takes 2-4 minutes, and I'm done. I anticipate this product will last quite a while for me.
Has some issues.......2007-09-18
Specs say it can handle 8 sheets. If you try more than 4 sheets, it slows to a crawl and sometimes stops. Even with 4 sheets it has a hard time and tends to make long strips (6" or longer) rather than confetti.
It does heat up fairly quickly with moderate use (a few minutes of constant use). It stopped on me once and I had to wait 20 minutes before it would start again.
The SafeSense sensor doesn't seem to be much of a problem (or a benefit for that matter). Unless you are really careful, you do tend to touch it while feeding paper, so the shredding stops momentarily, but then it starts right back up again. But all that starting and stopping probably causes the motor to heat up more quickly.
The cutters don't seem to clear themselves very well, which causes it to jam fairly often. I have to stop every couple of minutes and do the forward-reverse dance to clear out the paper from the cutters so I can continue. Even shredding only 1 or 2 sheets at a time, it sometimes goes really slow then speeds up then slows down again, so I can tell the cutters are getting clogged constantly.
I like the way the motor housing lifts off the basket, it makes it really easy to empty the basket.
Overall, it isn't a bad shredder. I wouldn't do it over again, though. For very light shredding (maybe 20 sheets max, feeding them 2 or 3 at a time) it would be OK. Anything more than that and you are asking for a headache.
Extremely Light Duty Shredder.......2007-09-16
I purchased this shredder a couple of weeks ago. Have been using it for a week now. Its OK, but it is much more of a light duty shredder than I realized. I had read all the reviews but hadn't figured that out. I am writing this as informational only. Its rated at 8 sheets, but almost struggles with 2 sheets, 3 pretty much makes me think I will need to disasemble it. Just putting in an envelope makes the machine sound like its struggling. I just tried to shred a credit card and I was sure it was jamming, but it did go through. It is very loud. I finally burned out my last shredder of 12 years, it had cost quite a bit more at that time (around $100) but it was quiet and could easily take 6 sheets. Since this thing is so cheap, $50 its probably worth it. Sort of wish I bought a better one now, but its to much of a hassle to send it back. In the future I will purchase shredders in local stores. Hope this info helps someone. PS. I am using this for home, not a business.
8 sheets? yeah right.......2007-09-14
Maybe I had too high an expectation, but I've yet to see this go through 8 sheets of paper. Constantly jams. Nearly worthless for shredding all the credit card junk mail offers I get. Have to open each one and feed them through at most 3 sheets at a time.
Maybe it can cut 8 sheets of TP, but even cheap glossy paper causes issues. And god forbid if you try and shred an envelope. Other shredders I've used work fine, just drop a piece of junkmail, envelope and all and your done. Not so here. An standard size envelope with 2 sheets inside results in 8 sheets thick to cut through. I have tested it and found that a single piece of paper in a standard tri-fold envelope typically jams. That's only 6 sheets thick. If you want a practical device, go bigger and better. This thing does not work as advertised.
Great buy.......2007-09-12
This shredder is perfect for a small business like ours. I am impressed with its capabilities and very happy with it. I would recommend it to anyone.

Customer Reviews:
effortless quiet shredding; large.......2007-09-23
This shredder is amazing. In comparison to smaller "personal" shredders which after a few weeks seem to strain so laboriously when shredding through a few sets of multiple sheets of paper, this larger shredder goes through reams of material effortlessly, generating only a muffled low-pitched hum. It's size and capacity are probably more compatible with the needs of a small office/home office (e.g., shredding >50 pages/day). It won't fit under a desk. As with all shredders, you have to keep the thing oiled, once each time the bin fills. Another important tip is to make sure you never shred with a full bin since if the shredded material doesn't fall clearly away from the shredder and backs up against the shredder blades, the shredded paper bits will jam the blades and the machine will possbily stop working altogether.
Fellowes Powershred SB-97Cs.......2007-09-11
PRO - wheels; large basket; auto shut off when full; pull out basket much easier to empty than having to lift the top of shredder out of the basket as my previous shredders; uses household vegetable oil for maintenance.
CON - When emptying basket it makes a mess even with a bag in the basket bin.
ADVICE - Oil after each emptying of basket.
Love it. I burnt up 2 smaller shredders in the last 3 years. This one seems to be much more durable.
A value at twice the price........2007-09-08
This shredder outperforms, outlasts and is aces in reliability compared to any shredder out there for twice or thrice the price.
I have been using this thing non-stop for months now and it is durable, reliable and does the job...period.
If you want a shredder that will endure as a powerful workhorse, you need not look any further. Five stars all the way.
Brothers Shredder.......2007-09-07
I had a ten year old Fellows shredder that would only do a few sheets at a time and that got severe indigestion if a credit card was pushed into it. This SB-97 Cs Fellows machine that I purchased to replace it does credit cards with ease and handles multiple sheets and paper clips as advertised. I have not tried it on a CD yet. It appears to be a very good product.
Powerful Shredder! Aussome!.......2007-09-02
This unit does a great job with easy. It went thought all our old documents quickly and had no over heating problems. It just keeps shredding and shredding. My husband and I are very pleased with this unit and we have have had two other units fail. If your looking for quality and a work horse this is the unit for you. It is well worth the price paid. Aussome Unit!

Solid Product........2007-09-21
Does everything as stated and is a lot better looking than most out in the market. I agree with everyone else that you should line it with a plastic bag or else clean up will be a pain in the neck when the machine's full.
Shredder heaven.......2007-09-21
This unit replaces a previous shredder which is now in shredder Heaven. This shredder performs as advertised. It handles up to 11 pages at a time making nice bits and pieces. It's reverse feature cleans out the shredder blades and prevents clogging. A must have for securityphobic people.
Best shredder for home and soho.......2007-09-16
this item really exceeds my expectations, fast and great cutting confetti type i just love it
Wow.......2007-09-09
Works Great. But maybe its because I had such a bad shredder before.
Im very happy with it.
DEAD ON ARRIVAL!.......2007-09-07
I ordered a replacement. But this first shredder was completely dead on arrival. Plugged it in and nothing. Also there were a lot of finger prints on the metal sensor guard and fine scratches like this had been used before. Is Fellowes selling refurbished units as new?! This better stop if it's the case. Also my AC plug had on of the prongs slightly bent and the rubber piece where the basket sits had come off already in the box. The box was pretty banged up too when it arrived. Here's to hoping my replacement will work like it's supposed to.

nice product!!.......2007-09-23
It is very useful while you nedd to write something from the book and articles.
I use it as a tablet pc stand.......2007-09-15
I use it to hold my 14" Toshiba M4 tablet PC, big and heavy. This book stand does an excellent job, despite that it was not designed for this purpose. I also upload some pictures showing this book stand at work.
PRO:
-- easy to adjust angle, easy conversion from handwriting angles to typing angle.
-- light and compact, carried in my suitcase
CON:
-- a little too soft for a computer (understand that it was not designed for this job though)
For those who own a Tablet PC and use stylus and keyboard inputs together, this is an excellent choice to hold your tablet on the desktop.
Exactly what I was looking for........2007-09-04
This book stand is extremely useful both in my studies and in the kitchen. It works really well, with a sturdy support despite its lightness. It has little flip out feet to hold the book open as well, something I missed in other book stands I'd tried. It does however, have a limitation that certain really big books are a bit much for it. A large format coffee table book did cause it to collapse, though luckily there was no damage to the book or the stand. I think it is great for most average sized text books, binders or cookbooks.
As good as advertised.......2007-06-27
Exactly as described in the listing, it holds my clinical oriented anatomy book which is 6 pounds and over 1000 pages with ease!

Bodyglove notebook sleeve.......2007-09-08
I bought this Bodyglove notebook sleeve for my Dell Inspiron 1501. It's a perfect fit and the workmanship is great. I'm impressed with the quality for only $10.00. I would recommend it highly.
Excellent!.......2007-09-08
This product is just what I wanted: it's economical and my Dell 14.1-inch laptop fits perfectly so it's well protected. It works very well when I carry the laptop in my backpack.
Excellent notebook sleeve that is reasonably priced!.......2007-08-29
Bought this for my daughter's 14 in wide-screen HP laptop and it fits perfectly. I was concerned that she was going to transport her new laptop around loose in a backpack and she did not want to deal with the bulk of a regular notebook case. This is a great alternative. Workmanship is very good. Only thing missing is purse type handles or a shoulder strap or I would give it 5 stars.
awesome product.......2007-08-27
it's a great product, not too heavy and there's room for cds/flash drives
good stuff
Laptop Sleeve.......2007-08-25
I own a 14.1" HP Pavillion Notebook with a sleek black top. It was hell trying to find a neoprene sleeve made for a 14.1" laptop, to begin with, and to add to the annoyance was how expensive they were. I chose this one because it was on sale and I figured it wouldn't be too much of a loss if it didn't work out.
It works okay, it covers my laptop and is perfect to slide into my backpack, protecting from moisture, and jostling. However, it has a crisp nylon interior, which makes me feel like it's going to scratch or dull the top of my laptop >_<
If you don't care about the cost, I would recommend getting the fully neoprene one, without the nylon inside. Just seems nicer.

not what you think........2007-08-29
when i purchased this item i thought that it'd bring me comfort in my long hours on the pc. i was worng.
1, it is not as soft as you'd expect
2, it gets in the way while playing games and using applications that require extensive mouse movement
i gave this item 2 stars only because i liked the color of the thing. apart from that it has nothing else that i think you'll like.
If you had pain using a mice before, this is your solution!.......2007-08-22
The wrist Rest really help reduce those pain you had using mouse! is very conform, and look good.
Comfortable.......2007-08-02
This is a neat little device that goves your wrist a rest while using your mouse-it is just the right size for most women and young children-it cleans easily and is a good bang for the buck.
hard as a rock.......2007-07-15
I purchased this item based on the reviews but I must say I'm disappointed. I condsider the gel very hard for its purpose. It does position my wrist correctly but the gel is so hard that my wrist still ends up hurting. I am going to switch to a bean bag type and see if that is better. Regarding the smell, I do smell it when I put it to my nose but not when it is being used correctly. I don't have a problem with any smell.
Love this item!!.......2007-05-17
I just got an under the desk keyboard tray and the mouse had no wrist pad....this little gem did the trick! PERFECT wrist support and it's small enough to fit nicely on the under the desk keyboard trays!! Great and inexpensive solution!!!

Only for slim 15.4" notebooks.......2007-07-26
It fits my 15.4" gateway notebook, but barely! It's a little too snug for my taste. If you have a thin 15.4" notebook this sleeve should be fine. I have a thick laptop and the sleeve is very tight on it. Again, it works best for thin laptops.
USEFUL.......2007-06-13
a must have, if hou have a laptop this is what you need
Too small.......2007-06-09
Got the 17" for my Dell 6400 (15") just to be safe. But even this is too small for the laptop - the other dimension is 12" which is not enough.
I am an idiot!.......2007-06-07
Don't buy this product for a 17" widescreen computer unless you can try it out in a store first. I purchased this for my Dell e1705 and there's no way, no how, that iw can fit. I think that the vendor, Fellowes, is guilty of false advertising. Even the tag that comes with the case says that the interior dimensions of this case are 15.4"x10.2"x1.8". I'm an idiot because I didn't read all of these reviews first stating that the case would not fit a 17" computer.
17"? No Star........2007-05-24
I should have read the reviews before purchasing this product - I gave it away to friend who has a 15.4" notebook. It's not what the description claims, you won't fit a 17" notebook into this sleeve.

Not for me,.......2007-09-23
I loved Fellowes original trackball - Thumbelina. It fit my small hand well and was a joy to use. particularly the 'lock and drag' feature.
Unfortunately, the present trackball is awkward to hold and use. It lacks the lock and drag feature that I as a writer enjoyed so much.
Regretfully, I cannot recommend this trackball to anyone.
CTS RELIEF!?.......2007-08-23
I bought this product because I believed it might relieve my occassional Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). It works beautifully. If you have bouts of CTS, this may be the way to go.
FELLOWES USB MICRO TRAC BALL.......2007-07-12
I use this hand held trac ball with my Mac G4 powerbook. It fits my well and causes no discomfort with prolong use.The only options you have with the double buttons is to make it Left or Right handed.
Interesting .......2007-06-27
Got this for a friend who uses a laptop. Takes a bit of time to get used to but then is it ever handy. :)
A usefull little tool..........2007-06-20
I recently purchased one for photography. It enables me to control the camera when I am shooting tethered to my lap top without being on top of the camera or sitting at a desk. About my only gripes are that the finger trigger is a little hard to get used to. I invariable end up using mine in the palm of my hand with my thumb controling the roller and right button. And though I normally have problem with trackballs grabbing the scroll bars can be a bit tricky. Though for the mission I have assigned this device it is perfect.
Point of interest though it doesn't mention it in the description. It works equally well on both my PC Laptop and my MacBook.
