Definitely better than my last shredder...
By S. Broderick
I went from a super cheap shredder, to cheap, to this one...so far so good. Certainly worth the extra few dollars for the extra page capacity and power. Also, I like the safety feature. My biggest disappointment is in the actual cut...to me, confetti cut should look like tiny pieces and not long strips of paper.I like the design...can see how full bin is...has a nice handle...easy to empty. A tad bit disappointed in the run time...seems like it's better for people who shred as they go as opposed to our family who does massive piles of stuff at once. We're hoping that makes us convert to a shred-as-you-go habit...hmmm...perhaps a New Years' resolution in the making :-)

By Homer J
I bought this to replace an aging Fellowes entry level shredder. I wasn't a fan of the old shredder as it would only shred one page at a time and didn't make very fine pieces. It also jammed frequently, was noisy and recently burned out permanently after being fed a couple of dozen pages in a single session.What a nice difference in the DS-2. It consistently shreds into very fine strips that would be impossible to piece together. It can handle a maximum of 6 sheets at time but won't handle the advertised 8 sheets. I also feed it unopened junk mail and the resulting shreds are indistinguishable from any other shredded paper. It does bog down (motor slows significantly) when more than 4 sheets are fed at a time but even when it has bogged down the resulting shreds are consistent with the results from a single page.The DS-2 is much quieter than my older shredder and I would rate the noise level as low (good). I did test a couple of machines in the store that were quieter but they were also much more expensive.I like the look of the shredder overall. The can that comes with it has a good capacity. The shredder portion lifts off the can very nicely with the attached handle that gracefully tucks away when the can is in use. I can find no major flaws in the design.There are some nice safety features that temporarily shut off the shredding if your hand comes near the paper throat. This would be ideal for anyone with young kids. It also has a safety switch that temporarily turns the shredder off if the shredder is lifted off the basket. While this is a nice safety feature it means the shredder can only be used on the included can. I have also found the switch to occasionally be temperamental. I can see this as a potential cause of problems with some units. In fact I returned a unit to the store for exchange as I couldn't get it to work. I suspect this may have been the culprit.I would definitely buy this unit again at the $60 price I paid. It offers good value for the money and appears to be a solid performer. Time will tell.

Perfect for My Home Business!
By K. Y. McKenna
This is our 3rd shredder purchased over the past few years & it is the best one to date! The convenience of the front window to know how full it is really helps. I am also tired of struggling to pull out a 'drawer' that is overfilled and making a huge mess every time you empty it. Being able to LIFT the blade up instead is terrific! A great value for the money!
