small shredder.

Personal-sized shredders are great for home
offices, as well as the workplace. If you're looking for a device such
as this, one product you should consider is the Fellowes PowerShred
PS-77Cs. Let's take a look at this machine's strengths and
weaknesses....

Strengths:

• The PS-77Cs can shred up to 12 sheets of paper at once,
  which is a very good amount for a small shredder. It could feasibly
  shred an impressive 130 sheets per minute. There is a feed opening that
  is 9 inches wide for the easy shredding of letter- and legal-sized
  paper.
• This is a cross-cut device that offers a medium level
  of security for the safe destruction of credit card statements, tax
  information, correspondence, and so on. Your document will be turned
  into countless bits that measure 5/32" x 1.5".
• There is a
  separate feed opening so you can shred your old CD's and DVD's. Credit
  cards, staples, and paper clips can also be munched up by this device
  with no problem.
• Jams won't be a common occurrence when you
  use the PS-77Cs because it has an overfeed indicator so you'll know
  when you're trying to shred too much. There is also a reverse mode you
  can use if a jam does occur.
• This machine has SafeSense
  technology, a feature that can determine when and if there are hands
  close to the feed opening. When the machine senses this, it will
  automatically shut off so you or another person won't lose your fingers.
• Not
  only is there a window that allow you to see if the 7-gallon waste bin
  is getting full, you can also pull the bin out for easy disposal or
  recycling of your shreds.
• In the case of a jam, overheated
  motor, or a problem with the waste bin, the machine will automatically
  shut off and let you know there's an issue so you can fix it right away.
• If
  you share office space, you - and your co-worker(s) - will be glad to
  know that this device operates quietly. Also, this product is small
  enough to fit under a desk so it won't be in the way.
• The cutting mechanism is covered under warranty for up to 5 years

Weaknesses:

• The PS-77Cs was not designed for continuous use. You can
  use it for a 10- to 12-minute stretch, but then it will need to cool
  off for 20 minutes.
• All of your waste will be mixed together in the waste bin. There isn't a separate container for CD and DVD shreds.
• This
  machine does not have casters. While it's not really that heavy (it
  weighs 31 pounds), the lack of casters will still make it a pain to
  move the device.
• Finally, the PS-77Cs won't offer as much
  security as a micro-cut shredder, so it probably shouldn't be used to
  destroy highly classified documents.

Overall, the Fellowes PS-77Cs is a perfectly fine personal-sized paper
shredder. It would be good for home office settings or work areas that
are shared by a couple of people. While this machine can't be used for
high-volume jobs, it nonetheless offers a lot of great features if you
need a good, small shredder.
