Almost perfect November 24, 2008
This powerful, large-capacity shredder not only cross-cuts pretty impressive stacks of paper (with staples), or even credit cards... it looks pretty good, too. In a home office, especially, this is a good thing. The only knock is that the insert slot is a *tad* small. It BARELY fits regular size envelopes, and the slightly longer ones (that bills and junk mail come in) have to be fed diagonally. The unit itself doesn't need to be bigger, just the slot. Because the unit actually holds a lot of shreddings, and the dump-able basket is awesome.
 Piece of Junk November 18, 2008
I purchased this shredder for my mom and it died before 6 months was up. Spoke with the manufacturer and after answering a few questions and testing the shredder over the phone to determine if it was fixable, they readily agreed to send a new one and were very easy to deal with. Received the new one promptly and it hasn't been 2 months and the new one is now not working. Other Fellowes shredders have worked great that I have purchased, but steer very clear of this one. This shredder even looks cheap when you get it.
 Love the design November 17, 2008
Worked great for a basket and a half...then it stopped. I had emptied the first basket, oiled the blades per owners manual and waited about an hour. Then I was half way into the second basket and it stopped. Seems the circuit board fried. Reoiled the blades and waited 2 days but it still dead. Sent back for refund via Amazon and ordered the Fellowes 77Cs and it is working like a champ. If that burns up I'll try the 450/460, then a different brand after that. Am a happy boy for now..
I love the mesh basket design of the DS-1. Easy to remove and empty. Stable, eats the paper easily and quickly. Just wish I hadn't gotten a lemon.
 Not for anyone with kids...or is it? October 28, 2008
We purchased this shredder for the safety features (auto stop when fingers get too close) and I was very pleased with that function. However, we've had this shredder about eight months and it's now in the garbage can ready to be hauled off tomorrow.
About three weeks after we bought the shredder, the plastic piece that activates the auto shut-off function snapped in half and became useless. So, we "trained" the kids to stay away from the shredder and kept it unplugged when it was not in use.
A month after that, the kids became fascinated with the basket that holds the shredded paper. They figured out how to step on the basket peddle and remove every piece of confetti so they could spread it all over the house.
Soon after that happened, we moved the shredder to the garage to eliminate any and all interraction with the kids. Just a few days ago, the motor gave out and the shredder became completely useless. So it's now sitting at the bottom of the garbage can ready to be hauled off tomorrow. Ugh...not even a year old and I already need another shredder.
I'm torn between buying the same shredder again and just getting something completely different to avoid the problems we've faced with this shredder in the past. I would have put up with the other malfunctions for many years if the motor hadn't burned up in such a short time, so I think we'll look at another brand at this point.
Died in less than a year October 26, 2008
I liked the appearance of this unit. It certainly had a hard time with 11 sheets. But six months after purchase, an interanl switch (the one that automaticaly turns the unit on when paper is inserted) broke, and even manually turning on the unit wouldn't work. Definitely NOT recommended.
