Direct answer: is the Fellowes Powershred 60Cs 10-Sheet Cross-Cut Paper Shredder right for you?
P-4 under DIN 66399 is a defined particle size rather than a marketing tier, and it is the level that is genuinely adequate for personal and most business documents where a P-2 strip cut can be reassembled.

Editorial verdict
Grounded in published specifications
Summary verdict: P-4 under DIN 66399 is a defined particle size rather than a marketing tier, and it is the level that is genuinely adequate for personal and most business documents where a P-2 strip cut can be reassembled. The specification that decides how long the machine lasts is duty cycle: 20 minutes on and 30 off, and repeatedly working through thermal shutdown is what kills shredder motors.
Who should buy this
Anyone shredding personal or business documents who will respect the cooling interval.
Who should avoid this
Anyone shredding continuously -- this needs 30 minutes of rest per 20 of work.

Four stars, and here is the fifth — 20 minutes on
P-4 to DIN 66399, adequate for personal and business documents. The one thing to know before ordering: 20 minutes on, 30 minutes off duty cycle. To be fair that is written on the product page. I skimmed past it and had to rearrange things afterwards.

Posting after real use, not unboxing
Had this a full season now, so this is not an unboxing opinion. Shreds credit cards, staples and paper clips. Still mildly irritated by one thing: 20 minutes on, 30 minutes off duty cycle. Known trade-off rather than a fault, though, and I would buy it again.

Listing was accurate, which is rarer than it should be
P-4 to DIN 66399, adequate for personal and business documents. That was the whole reason I picked this over the cheaper options, and it is exactly as described. Also worth mentioning: Shreds credit cards, staples and paper clips. Been using it now for most of a year.

Not the product’s fault, but be warned
Genuinely my own fault. Posting so somebody else does not repeat it. The listing says who should avoid this: Anyone shredding continuously — this needs 30 minutes of rest per 20 of work. That was my situation and I ordered anyway. It does what it says on the page — it just was not the thing I needed.
