I hate this da#n thing... August 8, 2008 Some idiot bought this for my office; the waste bin is a rickety, 2-part ordeal that's split down the middle for some odd reason. Also, there's no handgrabs or handles or anywhere to put your fingers and lift the shredder mechanism off (see photo). The shredder mechanism fits flushly against the bin. When I put it down today, I pinched my finger between the bin and the mechanism, and I've got a huge blood blister now and it hurt like hell. This thing is rickety and dangerous!
Paper Shredder January 7, 2008 So far, so good! I purchased this for our small business office and it sees limited use but it's doing the job well. Replaced another brand that self-destructed in just over a year of mild use!
It shreds but get the cross-cut August 14, 2006 2 out of 5 found this review helpful
Given the price of this shredder, I'm disappointed that I didn't get the cross cut version. I shred a lot, including CDs, DVDs, and credit card junk that comes in the mail, but the cross cut version is $10 more and adds more security to the shredded output.
Old technology but dependable up to a point July 24, 2006 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I bought the ps-70 since it was on sale. The new cross-cut shredders are now the in-thing and rightly so. This strip shredder will leave some "strips" still attached so that a determined thief might get enough to steal your SS number. Overall, its OK protection and the cross-cuts have more dependability issues since a more complex cutter system. If I were a banker or spy, I would go with the newer cross cuts; for home use this is OK.
A Disappointment July 15, 2006 I read the reviewers comments and I usually decide on what they say. I got the PS-70 on Friday and went with my wife to use our old Sentinel Shredder and the new one in our office this Saturday. In the manual it says that "continuous operation beyond 10-12 minuts will trigger 20-minute cool down period." So, had I read that I would never have bought it. Wish the other reviewers would have mentioned it, but in any event I just did. On the positive side, the PS-70 looks good. Cuts well. Is quiet. I doubt they will take it back. So if you have some significant shredding to do, you can take a 20 minute break for 10-12 minutes of work. Maybe they should put a cooling fan in it or suppy an external one to blow air through the venting holes. I will check into the cooling fan side of it and see if I can salvage anything out of my money.
