Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Fellowes Powershred DS-1 Shredder (3011001)
Customer Review: Excellent Home Shredder
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Customer Review: Great design
Summary: 4 Stars
This is my second one. The first one died the way new technology dies: built-in weak spot I believe. The motor and gears seem to be robust though but one small thing can do it in. I had a hard time finding the second one I though it was discontinued. Glad to see that it is not.
I do love the design, the foot-print and the eighth and the basket removal in that model. Others are too short, too big or it is too cumbersome to remove the basket.
But if you want to keep it for a long time don't shred more than a couple sheets of paper at a time...
Customer Review: Failure during Extended Use Tests
Summary: 1 Stars
This product functioned well initially but several significant flaws caused to model to fail our extended use test. Although the motor and blades continued function, the paper sensor failed after one year of low to moderate use; therefore, the motor and blades will no longer activate. When the basket is removed to empty waste, invariably some of the shreds fall behind the basket which prevents the basket sensor from recognizing that the basket is in place. Before the sensor will recognize that the basket has been replaced, you must vacuum the inside of the unit. Since the basket is relatively small and requires frequent emptying, this can be quite inconvenient and time consuming. This model has a great sleek look but functions too poorly to receive a buy recommendation. Customer Review: broke down after 1 year
Summary: 2 Stars
This product was working well but just broke down after a year of not so heavy use. Similar to some of the complaints I read in the reviews for this product, the reverse mode continues to work but not the forward shredding.Customer Review: Fellowes Powershred DS-1
Summary: 5 Stars
This shredder exceeded my expectations and wish I had purchased one like this years ago. I highly recommend it.
