Fellowes Powershred® PS60-2 Shredder

I read reviews about the cheaper shredders so I'm glad I stepped up to this one. It's very robust and eats just about anything I put into it including credit cards.

Features:
-12 pp capacity
-straight cuts about 1/4 inch wide
-large regular trash can style container
-auto shut off
-reversable motor for jams

I couldn't justify the extra 40 bucks for the cross cut model, and I think the straight cut will require less maintenance over time. My main concern was someone fishing credit card numbers out of the trash, and straight cut is good enough.

My only beef is I wish the strips were a bit narrower.

2006 update- this shredder has proven to be very dependable, I think mainly due to the straight cut design. It is strong enough to shred a dozen pages at once, but not quite strong enough to shred a data cd.
