Fellowes OD500C (Confetti-Cut) Shredder

Pros: Inexpensive, small, and does cross-cut shredding.
Cons: Only handles about 3 sheets, and clogs easily.

I wanted a shredder to safely get rid of unwanted "personalized" junk mail, credit card offers, credit card "checks", pre-authorized cellphone offers, enron statements, etc, etc, etc... I really only had a handful of documents needing shredded, so I ...

Pros: It was cheap.
Cons: I don't like it one bit, because it is always jamming. Frustrating.

II have this shredder and it clogs ALL THE TIME. It is a 3 sheet shredder but it jams up regularly on one sheet. Maybe there is a wrinkle in the paper, or the bin is getting towards full, or maybe I can't line the sheet up perfectly. It is cheap, but a waste of money.

Pros: Easy to use, reverse mode a good idea, safety interlocks seem to work.
Cons: Jams up even using single sheets of paper.

This machine will only do one sheet at a time, and even then it will jam up. Unjamming it requires poking into the sharp blades to get chunks of paper out, even after using the reverse mode. This is a machine that is just not worth having at any price.
