With all the news about potential ways to have your identity stolen, I finally decided to get a shredder.  During my investigation, I realized that the only kind to buy is a cross cut.  Strip shredders simply don't seem anywhere near as secure.  The Fellowes PS60C-2 works like a charm.  I've only had it a few weeks and discovered two problems.  First, the shredder is heavy enough to be awkward removing to empty the supplied container.  It also completely covers the opening making it necessary to either purchase another can for bulkier trash and items not needing obliteration or reaching under the desk to `carefully' lift it off to gain access to the can. The instructions say the cutters should be oiled once a month.  The company could have included a small tube of oil to get started.  I am, by the way, very happy with my purchase and really do feel more comfortable when I shred old bank statements, etc. instead of tearing them into little pieces.
