Summary: Very good shredder for home use
 
The Fellowes DS-1 has performed very well so far. It seems to have a powerful motor that has taken care of all of our minor shredding needs. It hasn't jammed on us yet, but we aren't forcing the issue by running more than 2-3 pages through it at a time. We found that it is best to empty the can before it gets too full because cleanup can be messy otherwise. In the past we have only purchased cheap (<$40) shredders which we ended up throwing away after about a year so we were ready to spend more money on a good shredder. Time will tell whether this is a good investment, but so far we are happy with this purchase.

Summary: Excellent Home Shredder
 
After using several less expensive shredders the last few years I decided to purchase the Fellowes Powershred DS-1. After about a months use I have found it; fast, efficient, convenient to empty.....in short an excellent shredder well worth the price.

Summary: Perfect for Home Use
 
This shredder is quick, compact and powerful enough for home use. The step can is the best feature by far. My old shredder had the motor sitting on top of the can. I DREADED having to empty that thing. The motor weighed a ton, pieces of confetti would fly everywhere and my bags wouldn't fit over the top of it. With this Fellowes shredder, all I have to do is step on the can, lift it out and dump it in a normal size trash bag. And best of all, there are no more confetti parades!

Summary: Shredder that works as advertised
 
I have owned this shredder since January, 2007 and it continues to perform with daily use. Please do not waste your money on the cheap ones since they die after very little use. The DS-1 looks pretty good for a shredder and is simple to use and maintain. It loves to shred credit cards (a favorite characteristic of my husband's). This is a must have for anyone with sensitive documents or those wishing to avoid identity theft. And it is now (4/12/07) $10.00 cheaper than when I got mine.

Summary: shredder problems
 
I bought the Fellowes 30110 Poweshred DS-1 as I read great reviews and wanted a more powerful shredder. At first, it was great. After using it for a few days, it stopped working without any warning. Reverse worked but not forward to shred. I called the company. The customer service rep was extremely nice and said they have been having problems with this model. She explained the exact maintenance required (which, I must say, is in extremely fine print in the instructions) and arranged to send a replacement. We got it last week, used it sparingly and did everything the rep told us to do to the letter of the law, and the machine suddenly stopped working again after just 3 days. I will call the company again, but have to say, it is extremely disappointing to read such good reviews and have this experience. The company has been helpful so far, but I have to wonder if there has been some change in parts/manufacturer or something basic to have this problem happen twice in such a short period of time. It's a great machine when it works, but I can't highly recommend it given my experience of "sudden death."
