" I just got this shredder and oh my I am in love. It is QUIET, when it is shredding the machine gives of the faint gentle hum of a fridge that is working well when it kicks on...the paper cutting and crinkling as it goes through is louder. It is solidly built and I can believe it is a heavy duty shredder. It has been chewing through the papers I had stored up in the 2 weeks since my little mickey mouse over the trash can strip shredder gave out. No overheating, no struggling though I've been at it for about 20 mins (paper in, pause while I grab and straighten another group of papers, paper in again). The shreds are TINY. They are bigger than sand but compare to bigger particle clay cat litter in size. They'd be perfect bedding for small animals, bird nest boxes, use in the garden- why let this stuff go to waste?
All that is left is to see how long it lasts. Assuming the 7 year warranty on the blades as the life span....that would make it worth every last penny I spent on it (even though I paid more for it than I had wanted to or planned on spending on a shredder- only because of the almost universal awesome ratings this was getting I assure you). I am a home user but I shred like a small office or home office as I shred all my own paper plus donated paper from school and a friend or two for gardening and composting purposes.
I am pleased as punch.

" We have gone through several shredders over the past but they either jammed all the time or broke after several months. We have had this shredder for 4 months now and have not have one single problem. We love the fact that it is super quiet and shreds almost everything and it has never jammed. In fact after 1 month of use, we bought a second on!! Highly recommended. "

" I'm not a young spit anymore and have eaten my share of shredders. This one has broken the mold for me. I studied long and hard before selecting this machine and putting up the bounty for it. This is a selection process that has paid off. This thing is sturdy, reliable and thorough in its shredding job. Of course, I've learned throuhg the years to treat a shredder with respect and care; not asking it to do things I wouldn't do and keeping it well lubricated and cleaned. I can imagine I'll be shredding with this one for many years to come. Add to that the Micro Cut which is more protection than I could ask for. Thanks, Fellows. "

Pros: Quiet Operation, Quality Construction, Shreds Credit Cards, Staples and CDs, Safety Features, Secure Cut Size, Jam Resistance, Mess Reduction, shreds floppy disks too!
Cons: though comparable would prefer longer run time
" I just received my new Fellowes MS460Cs and I love it already. It is VERY quiet, much more so than any other shredders I've used. Having several old floppy disks to destroy, it has worked great on the ones I've done so far! On the paper side, the micro-cut residue is VERY small and a definite deterrent to identity theft. Bag liners for the residue container are much heavier weight than garbage bags I used in the old shredder and less likely to tear, reducing mess, too. VERY happy so far and would highly recommend this to anyone needing a heavy-duty shredder. "

Cons: very small casters
" Excellent quality shredder with all the features that I was searching for. I only have one negative comment about this unit. That is, this is a very heavy shredder and the small casters (1.5 inches) on it make it somewhat difficult to move it around on a carpeted surface. I am sure that this would not be an issue on a hard surface floor, but it would have been more prudent for Fellowes if they had designed this unit with casters that were approximately 3.0-to-3.5 inches in diameter. Other than this one issue, this is a superior quality shredder. "

This is seriously the worst purchase I have ever made. I threw a party for my friends and I when I threw out the shredder. My whole city celbrated the death of my shredder. I'm done. "
Response from Fellowes:By cfcustomer reviewsJuly 31, 2012
Dear Customer,



Thank you for taking the time to review your MS460Cs shredder. We are sorry to hear that you are having problems with the shredder, but appreciate you taking the time to make us aware of the problem. We would like to offer some insight into what may be causing the issue you are experiencing.



Typically, when a unit is not shredding to capacity, it indicates that the blades need to be oiled. Since this is a micro shred unit, it requires oiling every ½ basketful or full basketful in order for the unit to shred at peak performance. In addition, less capacity may also indicate that some adhesive has been put through the unit (i.e. labels, envelopes, post-its, etc.). Once this type of material adheres to the blades, it will cut down on sheet capacity and will eventually cause the unit to fail completely. We mention this as a matter of education in the event that someone has been shredding this type of material.



If you still have the unit and you are under warranty, please call our consumer line. We would appreciate the opportunity to further assist you. 1.800.945.4545, Monday-Friday, 7 a.m. – 7 p.m. CST
