CONTEST IS CLOSED.

Tis the season for peace on earth, goodwill, and .....identity theft. Did you know that almost 9 million people have been victims of identity theft? Thieves step up their methods around this time of year by using tactics such as Dumpster Diving (They rummage through trash looking for bills or other paper with your personal information on it) or stealing wallets and purses; mail, including bank and credit card statements; pre-approved credit offers; and new checks or tax information. )
It's important to protect yourself anytime of year. With the Fellowes PS-12cs Shredder you can make an identity thief's job harder. This uses cross cut technology to shred 12 sheets of paper into 5/32” x 2” particles. I tried to reconstruct the sheets and it was impossible. It's strong too, easily able to shred paper clips, staples, and credit cards. (Once again, I tested the shredder to make sure it lived up to it's claims.)
For anyone with small children, this shredder includes Patented SafeSense technology, an electronic sensor that surrounds the machine’s paper opening and shuts it down when small hands and pet’s tongues come too close. If your children and pets are like mine, this safety feature is important!
I like the slick, slim design which makes it able to fit under my desk. The basket conveniently pulls out in the front making it easy for my children to empty the basket without making a huge mess with paper shavings.
Buy It!
The shredder is available at Meijer, Amazon and Fry’s Electronics and Target stores for $84.99.
Win It!
One person will win a Fellowes PS-12cs shredder.
The winner is #79, Tina.

I really need this paper shredder, because I am a Paper-Hoarder(or so it seems!) Once every few months I go through my desk and tear up all unneeded paperwork. I destroyed my last paper-shredder and would love to have this one...it's time to clean out my desk again!

I need a shredder for security - we get a lot of mail & I feel better having it shredded. It's so time consuming to cut things up - which is what I end up doing - so a shredder like this would be great.

Would like to shred all our documents with personal info.
I need a shredder because my old one is too slow for me. I often save up a bunch of shreddable things for a marathon session. I wish I could keep it in my kitchen for easy use, but there's no room :( I think cross cut is more secure too.

I need it because mine from the 80s is on its last legs (and it doesn't do cross-cutting, credit cards or much at all.)
We do a lot of shredding every week and the one we have now only does 3 pages at a time.

I need this to shred all the paper documents that need to be destroyed.
I work from home and deal with sensitive documents all the time, so I could definitely use a shredder--it's better than my current tear-into-tiny-pieces-and-toss method!
we lent our shredder to someone and they never gave it back!!!
