This is a very good shredder at a lower price point. The retail price is around $100 but you should be able to find it for $60 to $70. The design is straight forward and simple the shredder motor sits directly on top of the waste basket. There is no door to open or basket to pull out. Just take off the shredder top/motor and empty. Having fewer parts to the waste basket means less fewer places for the shredded paper to get trapped. The waste basket has a smaller

The shredder performs pretty well at full capacity. The shredder made it through 8 pages in one pass with out a problem. It did go a little slower than with 4 pages.

One nice feature is you can see directly into the waste basket and even place smaller items into it, allowing you to use the shredder waste basket as a trash can for smaller items.

One downside is that you can reach into the waste basket when the shredder is going making this slightly more dangerous around children and pets. This would be great to be used at an office desk away from children and pets.


Pros

  • Great Price Point
  • Easy to empty and clean
  • Easy to see how full the waste basket is
  • Can be used as a trashcan for small items

 

Cons

  • Can reach into the Shredder Waste basket

Conclusion
If you are looking for a lower volume paper shredder for your office the Fellowes P-57Cs is a excellent product.

Not a very safe unit

I have this shredder set on the auto mode and on several occasions upon entering my home office I have found it running without any paper being inserted. Woke up one night around 3 a.m. and heard a noise. Went into room and the shredder was running. SCARY!
