Rated 5 out of 5 by from Shreds like a champ, but... Excellent shredder, but: (1) inserting documents automactically starts motor but does not grab and start to shred until you manually push paper further in..sort of defeats well-designed safety methods.... (2) messy cleanup - bag tabs are relatively sharp and tear plastic bags very easily.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing Shredder This shredder is great. It's durable, quiet, doesn't jam at all, shreds all kinds of paper, and almost never overheats (unless it's being used for excessive periods of time). I would recommend this shredder to anyone looking for a good investment. It's a little expensive, but definitely worth the money!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent product!!! i have gone through a number of shredders over the years. this was just going to be another regular $50 shredder purchase until i decided to go up a few levels in quality. AMZAZING!!!! that's all anybody needs to know. it's extremely quiet, but yet at the same time extremely powerful. the sensor for overloading works great!! unlike other shredders, this sensor actually lets you know when you're overloading BEFORE it starts shredding the paper. i also have two kids and the Safesence Technology works unbelievably well. i'm guessing it's heat sensored, but whatever the case may be, the Safesence works so well that not even the tinyest finger can fit in the opening without the shredder turning off it's grinders. quite frankly it's amazing. this machine is the very best shredder you can possibly buy and it's very affordable at the same time. spend the money...it'll save you $ in the long run i promise. shredders don't last forever, but you'll go through 2 or 3 regular shredders before this one gives way, that's for sure.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Dependable This shredder is consistantly dependable. I like the quietness, the wide feeder as well as the light system showing you the capacity of the thickness of the paper.. The basket is a little sturdier than shredders for the home in the past. The liner bag is convenient and makes much less of a mess. I think the extra cost will be worth it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A Real "Bulldog" My Fellowes PS-79Ci has turned out to be the best shredder that I have owned. It truly performs like the Bulldog on the Fellowes logo. It is compact and rugged! I particularly like the "Safety Sense Technology" since my grandchildren frequently visit my office. This is the beginning of a wonderful relationship. I highly recommend this product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best shredder I've ever owned For years I have been buying shredders and have had them jam constantly in spite of sending one or two papers through a a time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent customer service support My 2 year old PS-79ci shredder quit working. I emailed Fellows customer service with a detailed list of the symptoms. Within 24 hours I received an email from Carole N. After several emails back and forth the consensus was that the problem most likely was in the main computer board. At this point I asked if they would consider standing behind this product by shipping me a replacement computer board. Carole replied back with a very generous offer to send me a factory reconditioned shredder even though the unit was no longer under warranty. The reconditioned shredder arrived promptly and appeared in like new condition. I have been using this new shredder for several weeks now and am very happy with Fellows excellent support and Carole's professional service. I would recommend this product to others looking for a well designed shredder with many great features from a reputable company who exceeds all standard expectations.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great shredder It is the best shredder I have found for home or home office use. It works as advertised, quiet, efficient, jam proof and secure. It handles, CD's, staples, and paper clips without a whimper. Just oil it every now and then and it is happy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good Shredder Does exactly as described, although does overheat occassinally if you push it too hard. The bag becomes full awfully easily and stops shredding. The button to move paper into the machine faces to the right instead of down. Small problems considering it shreds better then any shredder I've ever used.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Shredder I purchased this product for our small office a couple of weeks ago. We previously had a smaller Fellowes shredder and had very good results with it. I work for a small city & recently decided to go through the old records and shred what we legally could. I discovered that this had never been done and the records go back to the late 30's. So far this shredder had been up to the task. I am continually using it everyday.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great shredder!! Got this shredder a few weeks ago-- and it's been great! Had some major shredding to do since I was moving out and this shredder handled it. It got through the jams without any problems. Was very impressed. Wish there was a way to better empty the basket since I always get pieces of paper falling out of the shredder--but I think they are all like that and it can't be helped. All in all, a great shredder-- and it's so quiet!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worth Every Cent My old shredder broke down and after months of collecting documents I decided to purchase a Fellowes shredder after reading reviews. The reviews I read were spot on. This thing is quiet, jam proof, powerful, etc. It's a quality piece of equipment that I should have purchased a long time ago.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Shredder We've always had light weight shredders, rated for 6 sheets, that struggled with 3. The 79Ci is a breeze. It won't accept it if you have too many sheets, yet if you take away 2, it goes through them like a hot knife through butter, So glad we got it. Safesense can be a little anoying at times, especially since it seems the knives are difficult to get your fingers near anyway. But a small inconvenience for so many features. Although all shredders make noise, this is amazingly quiet, in comparison.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very Happy with this product This is an excellent shredder. It is very quiet, shreds quickly and I especially like the Jam Resistance feature. If too many papers are put in at one time, it reverses itself and backs them out. I am very happy I purchased this product and would recommend it to anyone that is looking for a very good shredder.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Finally, a jam-proof shredder! I've used quite a few shredders and have been disappointed by how easily they jammed, how hard it was to clear the jam, and how quickly they burned out - the Fellowes PS-79Ci seems to have solved all of that. Thank you for smart blade design that shreds rather than entangles. The large sheet capacity is also appreciated as it drastically reduces the time it takes to shred large amounts of documents.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great shredder I was surprised how quiet this shredded real is. I go through stages when I clean out files. So far this just keeps going without a problem the only thing that gets to be annoying is the basket fills quickly and it stops so you have to open it and push the waste down. I do love it and would recommend it to everyone

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Outstanding Performance I have been very impressed with the durability and performance of the Fellows PS-79Ci. I used it to shred 7 years of old files and it was amazing how it gobbled up every sheet I fed it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Don't waste your time with other shredders I have been through a series of inexpensive shredders and really should have known better. I am a tax advocate and deal with a substantial quantity of paper. I have finally migrated over to a "paperless" office and as a result all physical documents that have been scanned into our system by law must be destroyed. I kept burning out lesser shredders, finally I happened upon the PS-79Ci. Truth is that it was more than I planned to spend but when I balanced it against burned out shredders it was clear that this would save me money in the long run. This shredder just will not allow you to jam it. The warning system is so good that even I have to pay attention to it. Get your hand too close to the feed slot and the shredder automatically shuts down. It's so quiet that I can run it and have a phone conversation. It is easy to use right out of the box and is very intuitive. The only problems I have found so far, and I guess from my review you can figure I think they're minor, is: (1) the bin could be larger and (2) there should be a better system for installing plastic bags to receive the detritus. Otherwise this is indeed a quality product and one that I think will be serving me for a long time to come.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Choice This is the second year that this product was offered in a silent auction at a church dinner we attended. I had tried for it last year, but not successfully. This year was different! I won! I am so very pleased that I did win. Even my husband could see why I was excited about the quality of this item as soon as he opened the box. He spent the next half hour shredding the items I had been accumulating to safely destroy. Identity theft once is bad enough, but three times is just absurd. We will never have that happen again with our Fellowes PS-79Ci. Thank you, Fellowes, for a quality product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from What a relief! This shredder was purchased to replace a fairly new non-Fellowes product that was a constant headache to use. I had owned a Fellowes in the past in a different location and remembered how well it had done the job for me. I purchased another one and have not been disappointed. My PS79Ci runs quietly, smoothly and the jam proof feature works well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Reliable Fellowes I purchased a new Fellowes shredder, because the older Fellowes model that served me well over the past 10+ years needed retiring. I never considered another brand other than Fellowes, because not only did I have a reliable home shredder, but also at various financial offices I've worked in used Fellowes shredders. Their reliability and durability for home and small businesses is unsurpassed as far as I'm concerned. I would definitely recommend Fellowes and this particular model, PS-79Ci, for home or small office use. I researched various Fellowes shredder models, and the PS-79Ci came out on top. One important note that most users ignore is oil the machine as often as directed—this shredder will last a long time if the simple maintenance procedures are followed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Most Satisfied Though I looked at many makes and models, the Fellows PS-79ci Shredder was my first purchase in the shredder market primarily because I was most impressed with the features of this model as well as the price. It is fast, relatively quiet, and very safe to operate, not to mention that it simply looks "ccol" setting next to the desk in my home office. Needless to say, absolutely everyone that sees the PS-79ci is envious. I would certainly recommend this to anyone looking for a quality machine.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from SuperShredder Being newly hired at a public transit agency, I soon saw that I would need to purchase a shredder; however, not just any shredder would do. It had to be reliable, it had to be as jam-proof as possible and it had to be compact enough to fit in my small office. To say I am pleased with my Fellowes PS-79Ci shredder is an understatement! It shreds confidential material with ease. It even shreds CDs, paperclips and staples! It is small enough to fit in my office and the wheels make moving the unit a breeze. When I saw the Fellowes name, I knew that I was getting an exceptional product and they have not let me down. I would recommend this unit to anyone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product! Purchased the PS-79ci about a month ago and used it for shredding many documents at the end of the year. It worked great! The quality is apparent. It handled all shredding jobs flawlessly and quickly. I think it is the perfect shredder for a home office but it would be very useful in a workplace setting. I heard Fellowes shredders had a good reputation. Now I know it's true.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from No More Tears! I just purchased a PS-79Ci. The display model had the protruding plastic that would rip a collection bag. Do to the great reviews I decided to buy it anyway. When I got home and pulled out the receptacle. to my surprise, there was no protruding plastic to tear a plastic bag. I also read the review that claimed, the unit would not shred a thick envelope. So I tried it. It did not work well. Then I reversed the envelope out and looked inside. In my case, the envelope contained: The original envelope, a return envelope, 2 tri-folded letters and 4 single sheet envelope sized ads. If you count an envelope as 2 sheets of paper this thick envelope contained, really 14 sheets of paper. Keep in mind a tri-folded letter would count as 3. This was a pretty thick envelope. It barley fit inside the feeder. Thick envelopes is not the reason I am purchasing this unit. I generally open the envelope and shred the portion(s) that someone might sign your name to and send back to to accept the company's offer. Hope this helps with your decision. Keep in mind that there are probably some old model shredders out there with protruding plastic. You may want to check before buying if possible. Yes, I am very happy with this shredder and it is very quiet. HAPPY SHREDDING EVERYONE!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from An excellent choice for our office For years we have worked with a small strip shredder, but a new Massachusetts law requires a crosscut type, so we did research and this got terrific reviews. The one issue they all mentioned was its noise level, but the price was right and we figured we could deal with noise for the few minutes at a time we use it. It arrived well packed and the instructions were quite approachable. I set it up, applied the oil as instructed, and sent the test page through. Surprise! It is much quieter than our old shredder. I don't know what those reviewers were talking about.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from PS-79ci After purchasing the Fellowes PS-79ci, I do like the performance BUT the power light is to BRIGHT. Also you need to push the paper in quite a way before it starts to shred, once the paper is in there it will shed it with ease. those are my only to minor gripes with this unit. The unit is quite when shredding.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Performs as Advertised I've used many different shredders over the years, but this one performs as advertised.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Shredder This shredder is everything it's been written up to be. As you can probably tell, I love it. Yes it's quiet, even when it's grinding up a CD or an expired credit card. It has never jammed and has no problem taking the maximum amount of paper over and over again. It is a quality machine built solid and should last a long time. I truly cannot think of anything I dislike about this shredder. It is well worth the money.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Shredder for the Money Overall this is a very good shredder for the price. I've only used it for a month, but so far it has not jammed - it even shreds credit cards and CD/DVD's! I really like the safety features too. My only complaint is that for single or really thin sheets of paper you have to really push it down into the shredder so that the sensor can activate the shredder. Other than that, a good value purchase for the money - 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from very east to use my classroom uses this shredder everyday. It is very useful, practical. My students have autism and love to see the paper go down in the shredder. Plus the noise is constant, which autistic individuals like. The only thing that I don't like is it can only be used for about 12 minutes before it has to be shut down to prevent the motor from overheating.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from the "tank" of shredders This machine is built like a tank! I couldn't believe how sturdy and well made this shredder is. After buying and throwing out other less expensive shredders that either jammed up or burned out, I decided to spend a little more and get this Fellowes machine. The convenience and time savings alone of being able to shred 13 sheets at one time is worth the price. It also has "safesense" feature that prevents you from getting your fingers near the opening. Add led lights that tell you how many sheets you can load, jamproof technology, a large easy to remove basket and smooth, quiet operation, and a great warranty, and you've got the BEST shredder for the money out there.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from not that great I've had several cheap shredders over the years and have usually beaten them up. I can see why this model doesn't jam;you have to BABY it. After paying almost 10 times as much as the cheapies, I expected lightning speed and ease of use. Instead I got a unit that has all kinds of safeties and is hard to load. I immediately shut off the "safe sense" and load indicator. The sensing switch is so tight that it's very difficult to get a sheet into the shredder. It does have power but doesn't have any speed unless you consider that you can load several sheets at once without slowing down. It doesn't really cross/cut the sheets either. I could easily put together a shredded page as it does an interrupted strip shred. (long strip with pseudo random cuts) The recommended usage is only about 50 times a day. The 'bin full' light is nice as it precurses getting the blades jammed with the shredded dross.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from null We recently replaced our old, hand-me down shredder with our new Fellowes model! Talk about a change. We sat and watched it shred up papers, tested it for how many sheets it could take, even shredded some cardboard. It's terrific and has made such a difference, already, in how we can manage our office paperwork. We deal in human services so much of our paper contains confidential information. We cannot just throw it into recycling. The old shredder sometimes didn't even cut the strips completely through, so there were piles on the desk of paper that should be shredded before disposal. NOw our desks are neat and our confidentiality is intact! Thank you.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sweet shredder Just purchased the PS-79ci today and shredded a pile of paper. The first thing I noticed was the quiet operation which was a welcome relief after the last shredder I owned was very loud. The only reason for replacing it was because the screws literally fell out of the internal mechanism and the gears became damaged and it quit shredding. I can't remember the brand of the old shredder, but it was definitely poor quality.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wonderful!! This is the best shredder I've encountered for an operation of our size. We use it often, every day, and haven't had a jam yet. We're also impressed with the quiet operation. Great value for a small price. Everyone here wants one for their own home offices. Only complaint is with the bags... they don't hold very much, and are difficult to seal when full. The bin could use some redesign. The full bags catch and tear on projections within the bin when being removed. We solved that problem by shredding directly into the bin. It's simple enough to just empty it into a large bag which is discarded when full...also saves us the expense of bags!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from One Flow I have over the years purchased 5 shredders --all made by this company. They all work just as good as the day I unpacked and used them for the first time. At this point in time I need a larger capacity shredder. The one I bought works great...but I have one complaint: I also purchased plastic bag liners to make emptying the maching easier...but, they hang up on plastic parts inside the collection basket and tear...I no longer attempt to use the bags....the basket's interior needs to be smooth with no jagged edges or exposed screws.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from best shredder ever used I have had many shredders in the past 5 years. All of them have been dead and thrown away when they get replaced. I intentionally tried to find a shredder that can handle me versus me dealing with it's shortcomings. I have had the PS-79Ci around a month now. I love it. I do not have to alter my life to put up with it. I don't feel like I have to tolerate it. It is easy enough, works well enough consistently enough, is jam free and is not a bother to have in my life. That is a blessing. Nobody needs added aggravation from a piece of equipment.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best of the Best I have a home office and therefore have more documents of a personal and professional nature than a typical household. In fifteen years, this is my third Fellowes shredder. This one is the heaviest duty shredder I have owned of those three yet it is the quietist, most durable and efficient of the three. This is due in part, I am sure, to the change in technology as well as going with a more expensive model this time. While I have only had this model about two months, I am already impressed by the performance. Having had a considerable amount of old records to shred during this brief period, I am impressed with how well, how fast and how long this shredder will work without jamming or overheating.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Superior Performance Safeguarding yourself from identity theft is of paramount importance today. The proper shredding of compromising documents is one of the single most important safeguards a person can take to help prevent such a tragic event. Before upgrading to my Fellowes PS-79Ci shredder, I failed to shred all such documents, as my old shredder was far too slow, jammed easily and was just unreliable. In addition, it was not a cross cut model, so even the few documents I did shred, were not adequately destroyed. Now with the Fellowes PS-79Ci shredder, shredding has become almost effortless and is no longer the laborious exercise it once was. I now have in place the fast and reliable means to shed all of those compromising documents that would otherwise be vulnerable to identity theft. The addition of the Fellowes PS-79Ci shredder is one of the soundest investments that I have made.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Product We have had several shredders in the pass. The last one was a Fellowes and we wore it out. Our last purchase was the PS-79ci which has proven to be as excellent shredder. We don't anticipate having to purchase another one any time soon, but when we do it will be another Fellowes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Shredder Ever I have owned about 6 shredders in the last 5 years. The PS-79ci I have had for over a year of that. That alone should tell you how good it is. I have not had one single problem from this shredder and would recommend it to everyone. I would also like to share a piece of advise for future shredder owners. Do not shred sticky notes. They stick to the teeth and mess things up.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Shredder of my Life This shredder is worth what the price said. I have never had a shredder that was quiet and not loud like the previous one that we purchased. I like that the "safe sense" lights up when you touch the plate. I like the basket that you can dump the shredded paper. I truly don't have to use the bags, it is just so easy just to take it to the trash box and empty it. This is the shredder of my life.

I only have this shredder for 4 weeks, and am quite pleased with its performance. It is worth the expense and I recommend it. What I do not like is the design of the bin that holds bags: when I pull it out to remove full bags, paper strips fall over on the flloor.. a mess to clean each time. Any suggestion?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A Startling Surprise I’m a collector, an octogenarian, so have for many years saved cards, letters and poetry from my husband, mother, children and friends; love letters from old boyfriends; receipts, and records of work and business, all too personal to throw in the curbside trash. Did I want my children to encounter this mountain of paper clutter? NO! So I bought three shredders one-by-one. By file fifteen, or less in one case, they clattered, stopped, had to be begged to take one sheet at a time. Finally growing discouraged I started looking at other people’s opinions of better shredders; perusing reviews by those who’d tested several shredders and discovered the Fellowes PS-79Ci had a good reputation. I bought one, however I was dubious of its staying power. I am having a grand surprise. To empty the previous shredders I had to lift off the tops which were awkward and heavy. And they all filled much too quickly. My Fellowes container is large enough to hold one stuffed file which works for me, the weight being just right to manage as I slide out the basket and dump the pieces into a garbage bag. Too often the other shredders were hot, quit working, always before I could get the contents of one file folder through them. This shredder gets hot after about three stuffed files. That’s just right, too, for I’m tired of sitting by then, ready to walk around for awhile, smell my roses and admire the moss rose … or start lunch, drink a cup of coffee, relax. Forty-six large black garbage bags of shredded paper later, I am thankful to all of the people who suggested I buy one. I estimate I have forty-six more bags at least to go, but now have the faith … my Fellowes is up to the job. And happily, in a final win-win, a nephew is plowing under the shredded material as mulch for his next year’s garden so my lifelong collection of memories will live on. I visualize them now … as tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worth The Money Great product for doing everyday or occassional shredding. Design is very nice, but the pullout holding bin could be larger. If you do a large amount of shredding there will be lots of emptying. This product was decent in price, but from past experience the product holds up very well, so the money will be well worth it. Hope it lasts as long as my last shredder, a Boston strip shredder almost 10 years old. The Name, styling, features, operation & warranty are all GREAT attributes of this product. WORTH THE MONEY FOR SURE.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Shredder Ever As a small business owner, I'm on my third shredder. But the shredder...the PS-79Ci is by far the best shredder I have ever owned. I can hardly believe how easily it goes through a huge stack of papers! And the design features are awsome. It slides in and out from under my desk like it was floating, due to the easly glide wheels. And I never have to guess if the waste collector basket is full...I not only can see the level of paper waste through the window..but the indicator light lets me know before I ever check. The safty sensor is accurate without being a pain, while the paper density guage is perfect for letting me know if I'm over loading the feeder. And Quiet...wow...you hardly know it's running! I couldn't be happier with this shredder! Craig

It takes the pages easily and doesn't bog down like the cheaper shredders I've had in the past. It's well worth spending a little extra and getting a high quality product instead of replacing it with another low price shredder every 9 to 12 months. I love it and would recommend it to everyone.

It is also impressive looking tucked away in a corner.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Replacement for a previous Fellowes When I accidentally overloaded my previous 12 year old Fellowes there was no question what brand of shredder would be the successor. The only problem was which model? After a short tour of a local office supply store I settled on the PS-79Ci After just a few days I'm so happy I selected what I did. I didn't know shredders could be so quiet while doing such a thorough job through so much accumulated waste. I don't know how I survived just a few days without my shredder.

However, we have had a problem with the machine over heating and shutting itself down if we need to spend more than 5-10 minutes shredding documents.

I have shredded CDs, but not staples. So far during my limited use I have not had any jams and the operation is quiet and smooth. The package came with a container of oil and a supply of plastic bags for the waste. Fellows seems to have a good reputation for dependability and warrenty.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great shredder This is my first "serious" shredder. I've only had the wastebasket-top ones before, and they always gave me trouble and were messy to empty. This one is well-made, strong, and durable. It's amazingly quiet, and if you follow the directions, it will not jam. Easy to empty as well. Great product!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Outstanding Shredder! I'm so pleased with this shredder! My boyfriend and I just finished shredding hundreds of papers that we've been needing to dispose of for over a year!! No problems with the shredder at all! Throughout the full shredding process, there was not one point at which it jammed. No other shredder that I've had from other companies compares to this superior shredder! It's also nice having a quiet shredder that lights up to tell you when the bin is full. We definitely could not have asked for a better shredder!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Better than my other 5 shreadders I was looking for a heavy duty shreadder and have successfully found one. I like the idea that the paper jam works its way thru and shreads the paper. It also indicates if too much paper is inserted. The 79ci has worked better than my expectations.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from VERY PLEASED We purchased two shredders. One arrived and didn't work properly but we contacted the company and they are sending a replacement. THE SECOND MACHINE WORKS GREAT. Everyone in the office has been very pleased. It is quiet which pleases the boss in the office. Our previous machine made too much noise and got on her nerves. It handles many papers and won't let you put in too many. Others in the building now want their own shredder.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best shredder that I have own So far is has worked great. Once it worked through the jam it backed it self up and then went forward. We have a 17 month old daughter and we bought this one because it shuts off and so I put my hand by it and the light went on and it wouldn't shredd. The real test will see how long it last because the other shredders didn't even last a year. We have gone through several shredders. I also like this one because so far like the others it has heated up and stopped on me and then I have to wait about an hour for the others shredders I have had to work again. Another thing I like is it is so quiet when you use it not loud like the other shredders I have used.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Product I have been very pleased with this product. It is the quietest shredder I have ever used. It quickly detects when I put in too many sheets and backs them up so I can remove them without causing a jam. I can use it for extended periods without it shutting down. Only two minor "complaints" - and they truly are minor: 1) the safety mechanism is very sensitive to the proximity of fingers. When I insert smaller items (receipts, credit cards) it will shut down briefly. 2) The "basket full" detector comes on while there is still room in the basket. Opening the bin and pushing the contents down gives me the equivalent of another "full" basket.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from null This shredder works great once you get it to take the paper. You really have to jam it in to get it to automatically take the pages. This is the only complait that my coworkers have. In fact they dislike this so much they asked for a different shredder. We are a busy pediatric office and often to runbys for shredding and with this shredder you cannot. You must stop and push the paper in for the shredder to automatically take the pages.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great shredder! This paper shredder will take up to 12 sheets (depending on thickness) and has no problems with staples, credit cards, etc. It's very quick as long as you don't put too many pages in at once, but if you do, it takes some time for the shredder to put things in reverse and then forward again. That's the "Jam Proof" technology working. You can override it by pressing a combination of two buttons on the shredder. I've found that if you can fit it through the paper slot, it can munch it up into tiny pieces without causing any jams or problems. It takes quite a while to get hot and once it does, it puts itself on a break until it is cool enough to be used again. I believe this is saving it's life, whereas it would probably overheat from the amount of paper shredding I force upon it in one sitting. The pull out paper bin is a very nice feature, but you have to be a little firm with it to click it back into place after dumping the paper shreds. If you had some top secret stuff to shred, I would suggest a shredder that cuts into smaller shreds, but for your average "I want to protect myself from identity theft" issues, this should do just fine. It's super quiet as well... my cats aren't even threatened by it! All in all, I'm very pleased.

Some of the units were limited in numbers of sheets you could shred; some didn't shred well and one, that was moderately priced, jambed so badly it would work.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Shredder This shredder is quiet, powerful, and creates very small particles. It's a great deal for the price. We use it daily, but have only had it a month, so its durability is yet to be determined. It's attractive and was easy to set up and operate. The only minor issue is that paper sometimes flops over as it's feeding in and triggers the safety mechanism, stopping the shredder. It doesn't happen often, so it's not bothersome.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from PS 79Ci Compact, attractive, quiet and totally enclosed. Fits-in with a small office or den. Bin is easy to empty. Safety features provide a "pause" until the shredder can "read" the number of pages introduced. Some may find that this feature results in "slowing" the shredding process "down" coupled with the "hand-position" location sensor. Others may find that these same features are an added precaution and important to have with children in the home.

Unit is very durable and I think this might be a keeper. It works really well and is very safe. Few things could be better- gets hot and shuts down after about a half hour of heavy shredding but cools down in about 15 minutes- also, it is really messing dumping the unit as the bag gets stuck in the pail and rips. It has a front draw to get the pail out(one of the reasons i bought this model)however getting the bag out causes some problems- all in all I like this unit.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Shred what you dread I have many papers that I do not want anyone else to see, especially the ones that may get into the trash bag. Once upon a time I drove a Garbage Truck and to my suprise there were at least ten to fifteen individuals inside the trash dump ravaging through every piece of trash that was being pushed out of my truck. Sometimes escalating into fights amongst the participants. One fellow in particular that I talked to indicated that all he wanted was reciepts, telephone bills, ect., things that he could retrace from one household and attempt to steal their identification for illegal purposes. This woke me up!! I immediately purchased a Fellows Shredder and have never allowed any document to leave my home with any possibility of the dreaded fear of theft identy. Today society has become so knowledgeable and self motivated in the world of computers and their inate capabilities to develope strategies far beyound one's imagination that anything is possible--even the dreaded thought of being taken advantage of at some later date. During the past several years I have owned three different brands of shredders, however, the best one is the Fellows brand that I recently purchased. I am very pleased with its operation, and its capabilities which meet my demand load. Hooray for the Kentucky Wildcats' Basketball! Sincerely, A Kentucky Man

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I'm In Shredder's Heaven! I had a shredder. It was frightfully heavy (it was a booger to move around), loud, and constantly jammed. (The cleaning crew probably cursed me for all the chunks of jammed paper scattered on the floor.) I talked my boss into getting a new one. It was the PS-79ci. It is everything the "old" shredder is not. It is lighter, but that's really not an issue because the Fellowes is on wheels (brilliant!) The control features are intuitive and easy to use (the blue "one" light is appealing and pleasant). It's much quieter, and hasn't even hinted at a jam. I am now looking for things to shred.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good workhorse shredder Overall, this is an excellent, reliable, shredder for a small or home office. It is quiet and the jam sensor works well. Does just about everything it says it will. It is used daily, and I am very pleased with it. Two minor Cons: It says it is a 12 sheet shredder, but a more realistic number would be about 8 sheets. Put 12 sheets in and the red light will come on every time. A few of the shreds seem to fall outside the container and wind up inside at the back of the frame. You just have to clean them out periodically.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love this Shredder This shredder is really quiet - compared to my old one, it runs beautifully. The gauge on the side is great to let you know if you're trying to stuff too much in it - it kind of gives you the EYE! I do quite a bit of shredding & my time spend is minimal now. The pull out bucket in the front is very convenient & the window lets you know when to dump. Let me just say "Shredding has never been as much Fun"

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Shredder I recently replaced my old shredder with the new PS-79ci, this system is awesome, very quite, fast and does not jam. One of the best featues is the ability to measure the thickness of the paper to prevent jams. Great unit.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Shredder This purchase was to replace a cheaper shredder that I used occasionally, but eventually broke down. The PS 79Ci is more efficient, quicker, and quieter than my previous one. I'm very happy with my purchase and would recommend this brand to anyone that needs a high quality shredder of reasonable cost.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Shredder My old shredder recently died- so I did some research and found the Fellowes PS-79Ci was rated very favorably in several comparisons. No disappointment whatsoever. I can't believe I used this other brand shredder for so long. The PS-79Ci is so much more quiet. It's efficient- so much more easier to unload the shredded paper using a pull-out drawer, plus it's a decent size container. The warning system for too much paper works well, and the jam protection is great. I'm also impressed with the quality of construction- and the casters add a great convenience. Yes- it might be a little more than a cheapo shredder for home use, but well worth the price.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great shredder for home or office use I actually enjoy using this machine! Your sensitive documents are securely destroyed with this quality shredder.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Shredder Ever We were so pleased with this shredder from the start: the feel of rugged construction and the expectation that THIS SHREDDER would last far longer than any that we have used previously. We especially like the jam-proof feature, since a lack of this feature usually led to a short life of previous shredders. The clear "window" that shows the level of fill is another feature that is especially appreciated.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Shredder!!! I bought this shredder for personal use. I got it for a decent price, and it has performed admirably ever since the first stack of papers I've introduced to it. It works fairly quietly, and does exactly what its supposed to. I have nothing bad to say about this product, and would recommend it to anyone who needs a personal shredder at home. The only minor detail that I would see could improve this product is the emptying process. sometimes there are shreds that spill out, or are left behind. Other than that this product is perfect.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Really Quiet I was looking a shredder that could live up to the hype. They all say they can handle 6 sheets, 9 sheets etc. So far, this unit can handle the 15 sheets they claim; and it doesn't sound like a box of rocks while it is doing it. One suggestion, I wish there was some on board storage for the lubrication bottle that is supplied with the unit. By the way, lubrication is a great idea. This is the first shredder I've owned that said anything about lubricating the cutters.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Product - can be messy Shredder works very well. Safe, relatively quiet operation. Shreds documents, cards, disks with ease. Especially like the lighted indicator that tells you how close you are to maximum number of sheets. If you're using a bag to catch the waste, little plastic tabs inside the bag holder compartment are positioned so they rip into the bag when you try to remove it. This creates a mess of tiny paper fragments.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from PS79-Ci works well in consulting rooms I have been using this model for over a year in a consulting room where parent let their young children roam freely and touch everything at their height. I have seen the Safe Sense monitor cut in every time a toddler touches the cassette and feeder, and I have never seen it move a micron even if little fingers go near the feeder. My only bugbear is that an anatomical model fell onto the paper guide and broke it - the shredder still works fine but I have had to araldite the guide back together several time - this item needs to be beefed up or else a spare included.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from null The 79Ci is the best shredder I've owned. It is truly jam proof, quite and child safe. The switch on the pull out bin could use some work. If the bin is not pushed all the way in the shredder will not run. The casters on the bottom of the machine make it difficult to push the bin in and activate the micro switch. Even with the bin issue I would reccomend this shreder to anyone needing a shredder for home or small office use.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Superb Shredder I purchased the PS-79ci shredder based on my previous experience with a Fellowes shredder. This shredder performs beyond my expectations. It is very quiet, has a nice safety device and operates very smoothly. I would strongly recommend this shredder to anyone looking for a durable shredder, including those who own a small to medium size company. You will be very impressed with the operation of the shredder.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from a reliable machine i've had it for about two weeks now and have learned that this is one rugged, productive shredder. i have pushed it to its published limits and it has performed. as you can imagine, there is an inclination to attack lots of paper waste that has accrued - i've just finished shredding about 15 years of reports on heavyweight paper - a stack about 10" tall. the shredder didn't balk, but promptly produced several baskets of high-security waste. i'm using it at home, but i can see how it makes an ideal deskside machine. the basket does have a lot of static cling (dry house) - i'll spray it with a release agent. highly recommend!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A very good machine I rank this shredder a 4.5 on a scale of 1 to 5. The shredding capability is superb. My only reason for not giving it a 5 is that after I pack down the paper - to get more into the plastic bag prior to removing, when I pull the plastic out it catches on some sharp places on the wastebasket. If the wastebasket couold be made without sharp protrusions so that one can pack the paper and pull it out smoothly it would be a 5.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Significant Upgrade We replaced the previous shredder in our two person law office with the PS 79 c, and it was a significant upgrade...so much more quiet (with a deeper less annoying sound) it does handle all 12 sheets as advertised, and it is a very solid piece of machinery, very comforting to know that a small staple might slip in and not destry the shredder...only negative aspect is that it is difficult to unload the shredded paper; tried it with the bag (which took some extra time to secure) and without the bag, and ended up with lots of paper on the floor, just a comment, overall, really a good value for the price, and has made office life better.

But other than that, it's an excellent machine.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worth Every Cent In the past two years I've gone through three shredders. During this period of time, I've spent an inordinate amount of my time dissecting the jammed paper out of the blades, only to have to do it again after only a few uses. The blades on these other shredders would bend and break and the motor would lock up and start emitting smoke. There was no adequate customer service or warranty. Essentially, the performance of these other shredders was poor from the beginning and the equipment was disposable. Not so with my Fellowes Shredder! Although I spent slightly more than the individual cost of those other brands, I am confident, even after only a couple of weeks of use, that it will be worth every cent. In the event that something does go wrong, there's a two year warranty. I've already received great customer service just as a follow up for registering the product. As I was unpacking the box, it was obvious that the quality of the Fellowes shredder exceeded the other products. It weighed about three times as much. However, due to the casters, it is actually easier to move than the ones that weigh less. There's practically no way to get injured on the blades because of the safety features. My mother visited over the weekend and she tried out the shredder because, like me, she's had such poor experiences with other products. She was also favorably impressed and is anxious to purchase one of her own! My only regret is that I didn't purchase one sooner. I wasted a lot of time trying to clean/fix those other products as well as money. I fully expect this Fellowes shredder to last more than two years. But even if it doesn't, I will be pleased with the performance.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Shredder we ever owned We are extremely happy with this shredder!! It does what it says. It shreds very well, very industrious machine. It is also very quiet. It is nice to use it without waking up everyone in the house. We had 2 big bags of paperwork to shred, and they have been accumulating for about 3 years now. The old shredder can barely shred one sheet of paper. With the Fellowes PS-79C1, we were able to shred everything in less than one week, and only with less than 5 minutes per session. It is so nice to find something that works well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Shredder I wanted a jam proof shredder for low volume work at home and the Fellowes PS-79Ci fills the bill nicely. It is very quiet, handles 10 sheets of paper, credit cards, and CD/DVD with ease. If anything jams, simply press the right side of the outer ring surrounding the power button and the motor will manually shred whatever is left in the shredder input. A great purchase for those looking for a jam proof shredder with low noise, safety features that shut off the shredder if fingers get too close to the shredder along with a compact size.

My older machine was a strip cut and this new model reduces the paper to a much smaller size and is easier to bag. So far, Great Machine! My only complaint is the size of the waste container and the height of the shredder. Make it taller!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Quiet and reliable There is little about this shredder to dislike. The only item about which I can complain is that it it can be difficult to close the drawer that catches the paper while I have a bag installed. If I use a bag, however, it does contain all of the mess. I am amazed at my inability to jam this shredder. I even sent through some stock with a narrow thick portion, but when I pressed the forward button, it went right through it. The unit is sufficiently quite that I am able to shred documents while the baby is sleeping. Also, everything is sufficiently contained that I no longer worry about little fingers where they do not belong. Finally, although I have not needed to resort to this, there is a button in the back that I can use to cut all power if a young child becomes unduly interested in the front panel buttons. I am shredding faster and quieter than ever before. The unit handles enough documents at a time, that it can even handle those occasional large shredding runs with that 150 page document in no time at all.

Security of client records and especially destruction of the same is of vital importance. Because I am basically an impatience person and like most am usually rushed, I found this shreader prevents jams by warning and limiting the overloading of doccuments. Jams not only frustrating but time consumming as well. Should the necessity arrise to replace the shreader my choice is already made. And to top off the stated feature the shreader operates nearly soundlessly, important in a crouded office.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome Shredder PS-79Ci There is nothing you can tell me about Fellowes products. I have been happy with everything I have purchased over the last several years. We used a Fellowes shredder at work, and when I retired, I purchased one of my own. We never had a moment's problem with the one at work, and I knew I would be happy with my own. I recently cleaned out all my old files and filled several large bags of old bills, letters, etc., and my shredder handled it just like a more larger or expensive machine. I love this shredder, and by the way, it shreds old credit cards and disks with no problem.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Home Shredder Handles 10-12 pages, with staples, with ease. Indicator lights reveal whether you can insert even more pages, or if there are too many for the shredder to handle. Credit cards and CD's are easily shred. The bucket can be fitted with a plastic bag, or left without. As with most shredders featuring a removable bucket, bits of paper can be found behind the bucket after a shredding session. My handy Dust Buster cleans this out with little effort. The only negative would be the relatively low capacity of the waste bucket. However, I prefer the overall small size of the unit compared to one with a larger waste capacity. The operation is very quiet. Additional buttons select reverse and manual mode. I can highly recommend this shredder for home or home office use.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from a little work horse! I love my new Fellowes shredder. I have always tried to do with cheaper shreaders and always burned them up. With the PS79-ci, it does all my heavy duty shredding as long as I stay within the max. number of sheets. I like the way it digests the heavier work rather than just stopping. I will never buy a cheap shredder again. Well worth the money. You do need to make sure you lube it occasionally with the special oil you can buy. If you do a lot of shredding, you might consider a machine with more shredding capacity.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from null The cross-cut PS 79ci, only has 1 drawback. When the basket is full, unless you have changed the bag before,you wouldn't know this. You must carefully stick your hand down the front wall, as the bag gets stuck underneath the viewing window and tears when pulled out, making a mess.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Bigger,Faster, Louder, Messier I upgraded to this machine after years of using a very small, single-sheet shredder. I could have shopped more carefully. This machine is at much larger and very heavy. Operation is quiet, but there is a loud hum whenever the machine is turned on. It does make small bits very efficiently. My main irritation is the mess. Shredded paper bits miss the waste basket and cling to the bottom and sides of the inner compartment so that taking out the waste basket involves picking up many tiny bits of paper that fall to the floor. Since I take the shredded paper to the compost often, this is a real inconvenience.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from KEEP ON SHREDDING I purchased the PS-79Ci because it was small enough to fit under my desk where it could function as both a shredder and waste basket, plus I read good reviews on a resellers’ website. I am very happy with the choice. I have had the shredder about a year and it has performed superbly. I give the PS-79Ci a drink of Fellowes’ Shredder Oil every week or two and it handles the shredding chores quietly and safely. However, I abused the PS-79Ci Memorial Day. Keep in mind that that this is a PS = Personal Shredder. I had to shred some of private papers, about 100 pounds of them. I shredded these papers all evening and into the night. I would guess about 6 or 7 hours. After shredding about 95 pounds of copy paper, or about two, forty gallon plastic garbage bags full, a red light went on and the shredder refused to shred. Oops, the manual says “Overheat”. I thought I “fried” the motor, which with most other shredders, I would have. So, I unplugged the shredder and went to bed. When I got up the next morning I plugged the PS-79Ci back in. It worked and has been working like a new machine ever since. AWESOME. Can you guess what brand name shredders I recommend to folks?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Impressive I just love this shredder,the ease of use and the performance are just wonderful! My last shredder jammed almost everytime I used it,was very loud and cumbersome. The PS-79Ci is quiet and I have not experienced any jamming to date. I would recomment this shredder to anyone in the market for one. You can see the quality as son as the box is opened.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Pretty good I like the durability and shredder performance. It's hard to jam. Cuts up credit cards with no problem. Very generous waste storage. One small gripe is that the drawer clicks open once in a while during operation and I have to close it a couple of times to get it to continue shredding. Overall a good buy vs performance.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good Product with 1 downfall The shredder itself works perfectly, does everything the description states it's supposed to do. The only problem I have is with the POORLY DESIGNED BASKET, This is a MAJOR INCONVENIENCE in that the basket has a glass panel with screws that catches on the plastic bag & shreds the bag when removing it filled with shredded paper. (It also had 2 hooks on the opposite side, but they were removed) IF YOU COULD SEND A BASKET WITH A SMOOTH INSIDE THAT WOULD COMPLETELY SOLVE THAT PROBLEM

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best shredder I've ever owned! I believe in security and have been shredding my personal information at home for many years. I purchased the Fellowes PS-79ci to replace another brand. I'm hoping that this machines lasts longer than the previous machine. The Fellowes PS-79ci is quieter, but the basket is smaller than the previous, but so far I'm happy with my purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Shredder I just purchased this shredder to replace one that was failing I cannot believe how effective this shredder is on numerous paper widths and counts. In addition, I don't think I've ever had a CD shredded so efficiently The one beef I have is that I wish the debris door/basket was a tad easier to sit in the frame, but that is such a minor issue that I plan to buy this product for my son when he goes away to college next year.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Quiet and Reliable This is our 3rd shredder in 4 years. Our office of 6 core people uses it to shred a handful of papers here and there almost daily between us. We are extremely pleased with its performance and how quickly and quietly it gets the job done. The cleaning staff had to be instructed to be gentle with and conscious about the pull-out waste basket because it is not the sturdiest and the shredder will not operate if it is not firmly replaced. We expect this unit will have triple the life expectancy over what we experienced with its competition.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A great purchase I have owned several shreaders but none of them have performed with the reliability that my PS-79Ci has. It has never jammed or become sluggish.

This was a great purchase as the Fellows unit has already out lasted two other shreaders.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from great workhorse for personal/home office use I did lots of internet research on shredders before buying and found this model the best for my price range. I have had Fellows models at work and they worked great, but these were expensive commercial models. This is my fourth or fifth shredder I have owned. Some were Fellows and the first few were other brands. This model arrived at my door a few days before promised and was completely set up and ready to go...no wheels to install!!! I am using this shredder to destroy about 4 + years of tax receipts/files this summer and expect this to be a simple job. So far, no jams and no hassels.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My PS-79Ci is JAMMIN! I have had my shredder now for almost one year. At first I was not sure I would like the single cut, but after much use have found it to be acceptable and impossibe to read the shredded material. I recently completed a huge photograph project (3000 prints) and the shredder cut every one beautifully. I had no jams. In fact, I have never had a jam with this product. Its easy to clean and paper does not get stuck in the blades. The bags keep the shredded pieces contained and I just pull it out and toss. I would definitely recommend this model for everyday and heavy use shredding.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My Fellowes PS-79Ci Shredder I have had my shredder only a few weeks, but so far it has performed extremely well. I am using the shredder to shred some old bills and bank statements(I didn't want to just put them in=the trash for obvious reasons). The machine is handling the envelopes with the bills inside with ease and doing extremely quietly. I am very happy with the performance of the shredder overall. I called Customer Service once to ask further instructions for oiling the machine and the nice young lady I spoke with was very cordial and very helpful with all my questions.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from my 3rd shredder The 79Ci seems to be a real performer! It can handle multiple sheets and envelopes, discs, and credit cards – yes, I chewed up a disc and one of my wife's credit cards (she’ll never miss it) just to see if it would take ‘em! I’ve deliberately overloaded it too but, unlike my previous shredders this dandy doesn’t overheat and smoke, it very politely stops, reverses a tad, and lets me take out the jam without triggering my Tourette’s! The only issues I’ve encountered are related to the bin. First, the shreds triggers a ‘full bag’ indicator long before the bag is actually full - to correct that I have to open the bin and compact the shreds by hand. Secondly, when I push the bin back in place it doesn’t always seat properly which keeps the machine from running. These are both minor annoyances and don’t cancel out the joy of buzzing my junk mail out of existence! I can’t wait to see what it’ll do to my taxes!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very Quiet and Truely Jam Proof Replaces a ten year old Xerox Cross-Cut Shredder. It is remarkably quiet compared to the old one and so far has not hesitated to shred what I've put in. The jam proof feature actually refuses to begin the shredding process if you give more than the designed amount of paper. This limit is based on thickness of the stack so it really depends on the "weight" of the paper and not the number of sheets. If it last as long as the old one, then it's really quite a bargain.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Upgrade from and Older Shredder I decided to upgrade from an old Fellows shredder that I have had for I do not know how long. It has been a workhorse so I decided to go with another Fellows shredder. I have had this one for a little over 6 weeks now and so for it has been great. I have used it to shred credit cards, CDs, and multiple pages of paper and not once has it jammed. The flip down guard for the credit cards and CDs is a nice feature. Quieter than my old one and no jams like my old one. So far, the only thing I noticed when assembling it was that the bottom tray that holds the shredded documents sometimes needs a little extra push to slide in all the way. Other than that, it has been great.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Finally a Shreder that is Emily Proof I love this shreder. I have a tendency to break things. I broke our office shredder before this one. I jammed it several times until it just quit working. Then I was on the hunt for a shredder that was 100 percent jam proof. I found this one and it did not dissapoint. Anytime I put in too much paper a red light would appear to gently remind me that I have put in too much paper. I was able to shred all of the documents that have been piling up over the last year and it didn't take my entire day! I would reccomend this shredder to anyone with a small buisness. I absolutly love it and it has taken all of the frustration out of getting rid of documents.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Rugged and quiet I've only had this shredder a short time, but I am already impressed with the rugged and quiet design. This shredder had good reviews and when I compared its weight to that of other units I was considering, I thought it must be more rugged as it was twice the weight of many other units. When it arrived and I compared the cutter head to my old shredder, it was obvious that those additional pounds went into value added materials such as a heavier duty motor and much more robust cutters. My old shredder used to always sound like it was laboring, even to shred 2 or 3 sheets and was very loud. This unit is very quiet and sounds like it is not straining at all, even when cutting many sheets simultaneously. I'm extremely happy I chose this shredder.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Meets my needs Nice looking unit, packaged and shipped well. Easy to assemble. Shredder head is pretty heavy, which is expected with a heavier duty machine. Older or frailer customer might have slight problem seating head on bin. Casters installed easily with couple of taps from rubber mallet. Instructions simple to follow. Came with small bottle of oil and a few bags. Have shredded quite a bit of paper with no jamming problems. Easily shreds up to 10-12 sheets of paper and staples. Bin fills quickly and have to pull out bin and pack down paper or empty bin. Probably just seems to fill up quickly because you can shred so many more pages at a time. Very quiet operation, can easily conduct conversation while shredding. Have not tried to shred any CDs. Have not encountered any problems with machine and would definitely buy another if the need arose and would recommend it to friends.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wife happy to see the junk mail vanish! I'm very pleased with my Fellowes 79Ci. This shredder will go through 14 sheets of paper like a hot knife through butter... with or without staples. The credit card and CD slot works perfectly ... keeping both centered and aligned perfectly ... while being fed through without a hitch. I like the safety feature that does not allow your fingers to get close to the cutter while under power. Some people mentioned that there is some mess when emptying the waste ... not true if you do it correctly. When you finish shredding simply roll the cutters forward for a few seconds and this will empty out any loose paper that is caught on the cutters. Some people also mention that the waste container doesn't slide in easily ... not true if you do it correctly. Simply push it in as far as it goes with one hand against the center panel of the waste container and slightly pull upward on the slide in handle with the other hand ... piece of cake ... works every time. I also use the included waste bags in the bin and then empty into a garbage bag. Some people mentioned that the 4 rollers on the bottom might be a little difficult to install ... it's simple ... just wiggle them side to side while pushing and they go in perfectly... no brute force needed. I don't see any problems with this shredder ... everything works perfectly ... like it should. I believe anyone who purchases this model ... will be very pleased. It is actually a bargain considering the quality. PS ... I bought a Fellowes air purifier at the same time and it is also flawless! I hope that your engineers got year end bonuses ... their designs are great.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from poor security Only giving 2 stars to Overall Rating due to the poor security due to the size of the shreds of paper. Very poor security for this shredder. If you have paper printed in landscape mode, you can have an "entire" Tax I.D. number, etc. on a piece of shredded paper. The strips are too long. The purpose of shredding is to destroy any information on a piece of paper and this shredder does not do it. It is sturdy, handles lots of paper and is fast. Like the fact it will stop if taking too much paper. However, after 2 months, I am already looking for another shredder due to the poor security of the shredded pages.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Purchase I just received my shredder today and already gave it a good work out. Can't say enough about what a great job it does. Love all the features that my old shredder did not have. I actually hated shredding with my old one because it would jam all the time and could only take about 2 sheets at a time. I was able to shred in about 30 minutes what it would have taken about 2 hours to do with my old machine. Sometimes you have to spend a little more to get good quality and effecient operation. This was a great purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Say goodbye to junk mail My prior shredder jammed and then completely stopped working so I needed a new one. One thing I do not like is junk mail. With my old shredder, I had to open every piece of mail, junk mail included, and then feed no more than 6 sheets in it at a time. Shredding took a long time and was a chore that no one wanted to do. Researching the various shredders on the market, I found the 79Ci and, based on other reviews and its specifications, I purchased it. Just received it and started shredding 'unopened' mail and this shredder handled it with ease! The 79Ci is quiet when shredding and has a gauge on the right side that indicates how close you are getting to its maximum number of pages it can shred. Very handy to know. I am just very pleased that I can just shred the mail while it is still in the envelopes. Thank you!!!

My old machine always made me secretly fear I might shred my fingers if I didn't pay attention. :) The bin is easy to empty. It just slides out and slides back in. My old shredder required I lift off the heavy top and inevitably spill shreddings attached to the blade all over the floor. If all that isn't enough, it's handsome too. Matches the rest of my desk appliances.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great ... but Really love this shredder. I like the quietness. I really like the safety shut off feature. I would have appreciated clearer instructions on putting on the casters. They didn't just pop in. I took a rubber mallet and tapped them until they went all the way in. One more thing is the plastic piece on the inside of the container. I believe this is the piece that inserts into a slot that tells the shredder the bin is closed and it's ok to work. This is the piece that broke on the last shredder I had, which wouldn't work after that plastic piece broke. I really expected the Fellowes to have a metal piece here that won't break off. Only time will tell.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Solid Shredder 79Ci but stupid oversight. The 79Ci supplied materials were incomplete. Four languages microprinted, but missing the absolutely necessary maintenance instructions- including oiling instructions. Very stupid oversight. Had to go online, download, and print. To me that equates to a ~$10 mistake for my time and effort. Solid performance but expensive realtive to a consumer purchase from China.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 79ci I have only one issue and it has to do with the casters (wheels) they do not go on very easy and they do not stay in place. Would have liked to just be able to snap them in and be done with it. Other than that issue the shredder works great.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from One Happy Office We just received our new Jam Proof Powershred 79Ci cross-cut shredder. We are amazed and surprised. This little machine in powerful yet quiet. When using our old unit, the motor was so loud we'd have to wait for a quiet time to shred documents as to not disturb customers or co-workers. One page at a time was all it could handle, if that! Now, 16 pages go through the machine like a hot knife on butter. The soft hum of the motor is non-obtrusive and allows us to manage paper efficiently throughout the day. If you are looking for a new shredder for home or small office, this is the one you need.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Definitely Jam Proof I don't have time to mess around with things when they don't work properly. That's why I bought the 79Ci. It looked like it was robust enough to not jam...and it never jams! I love that. I have had shredders in the past that took so much time to feed carefully that you hated to have to use them. If you want a hassle-free, multi-sheet shredder, this is the one.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 79Ci 100% Jam Proof Cross-Cut Shredder I'm very impressed with this shredder so far. First it is so quiet! I can carry on a conversation, watch tv or listen to the radio with out turning up the volume and I don't disturb the whole house while I'm using it. I really like the anit-jam feature. It literally clears the jams it's self about 99.9% of the time and the and the one or two jams I cleared (after 3 kitchen size garbage bags) was just a flip of the switch. I didn't have to pull the top and pull jammed paper out of the blades. The sensor on how many sheets i put in was a bit touchy. Unless the sheets were perfectly flat it took more like 10-12 sheet and sometimes miss-read even less if there were folds, etc. But that was minor. As long as it lasts longer than my last Fellowes shredder which quit working after 6 months this is a winner. But this was a replacement for that shredder under the warrenty and it was a breeze to get replaced as well. Which is why I stayed with Fellowes. I also like that it has wheels, I can move it to my dad's office and let him use it with ease.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Don't Buy 79Ci Because is not a micro-shredder, the volume produced when shredding is huge. But capacity of bin is too small, so you end up having to hand-compact the shredded product and to empty the bin too often. And emptying the bin is very messy, so prepare to vacuum and clean after. If you have very little to shred, it can be ok, otherwise, don't buy it. I regret being convinced by sales person that it is a great shredder, and regret and hate not being able to return it because did not used it within the 15 days allowed

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sheredder # 79Ci Excellent product design, operation. The instruction manual. registration process are terrible. It seems the manual writers are not thinking outside the box. Other than the paper itself, the organization, content, pictures are just very unfriendly. I can't understand when you have an excellent product, why don't you have excellent manual too. My sense is the staff have been doing this for years . You may need some freshness as well as strong independent quality assurance staff.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Quietly cleans up clutter From junk mail with personal information to bills and everything in between, it's such a relief to just have a place to get rid of it all safely. I live in a relatively small place and I realize this was a larger shredder than I needed but it can wheel behind a chair out of sight and is super reliable and QUIET unlike every other one I've encountered. Worth the price. Easy set-up. I'll have to invest in some oil for the blades.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Choice for Small Office Document and Media Disposal Security I always research extensively before making important purchases. I have been wanting to add a shredder to my small home office for quite some time and finally came to a decision on the Fellowes Powershred 79Ci. Glad I did. Amazon.com had the best price and I was even able to get even more of a reduction on the already low price by using my American Express Membership Rewards Points! The Fellowes Powershed 79Ci Crosscut Shredder arrived in only 2 days from Amazon.com. The first thing I noticed is how heavy the box was when I picked it up. The majority of the weight is in the shredding unit itself that sits on top of the shredder stand. It is well built although I was a bit surprised the stand and basket seemed a bit flimsy for such a heavy shredder. I am not using the caster wheels that came with it because the unit will be sitting on the carpet. The shredder came with caster wheels, a small bottle of oil, registration card, a few plastic bags for the wastebasket, operators manual and several quick start inserts. I won't be using the bags. Installation was easy. Be careful when putting the shredder on the stand. I can see how easily the top of the shredder stand could be cracked if someone were to force it. Also keep your hands away from the blades on the bottom of the shredder when installing. I also read where some people are having problems when inserting the caster wheels, cracking the insert points. Once assembled, simply plug in the unit, make sure the switch is on, on the back of the shredder and push the power button. You are now ready to shred. The first thing I noticed is how quiet the shredder is and it shreds with ease. Even though this shredder is crosscut and not a micro cut it still gets a high-security rating and does an excellent job of cutting paper into very small confetti-like pieces. It also shreds media such as credit cards, DVD's and CD's and not to worry if you accidentally run an errant paperclip or staple through the shredder. It will handle those as well. Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase. Only time will tell how it will hold up in the long term. I'm hoping It will provide me many years of service.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fellows Powershred 79Ci One of my better purchases! I bought this shredder to replace my old machine which was over 10 years old. I didn't realize what I was missing until I bought this machine. This unit is fast, quiet and efficient. I had gotten so use to the jams and high pitch noise from my old machine, I never knew such quiet could be obtained from a shredder.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Product!! Would buy Again This is one of those products that you always need around the house. Those cheap ones that go for less than fifty dollars are a complete waste of time. We were tired of having to purchase one every year. This time we invested in one that will last. So far this thing really eats up everything. I like the idea that you are recommended to oil it periodically, that way it will keep on working. You don't need anything else if you're looking for a very good shredder to use at home or for a small office. This particular one does not hold a whole lot of so I would not recommend it for a full office or big business although it is built to take the abuse and keep on working. And it is very quiet when you use, just so you know.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from effective and rugged i love this product and it helped me out with about 100 pounds of paper i needed to shred (no joke), but this product had some downfalls it would overheat because the vents where inside near the baggage area. also it would fill rather quick, and it would be hard to put back in because the runners it went on where difficult to wrangle. but it did its job nicely and quickly and i would recommend this product to other people. the thing i would recommend to the fellows staff would be that they should design a more versatile printer that is able to be moved around and can shred without the need for a basket below. like for instance if i wanted to shred over a trashcan for a quicker more efficient job they should design a shredder that can do that or make a mount for trashcans. i feel that this accurately describes this printer. not many pro's were not mentioned for the star review i gave it but it is a very good printer and it should not be overlooked the next time you want to buy one.

When placing basket in, red light came on to indicate it was not fully in place, very helpful.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fellowes 79Ci The first Fellowes shredder I purchased lasted over 20 years, so I decided to purchase another Fellowes when that one finally bit the dust. The 79Ci is great! It not only does a fantastic job of crosscut into small pieces; it does it with exceptionally quiet operation. I also like the built in safety features, which are a must if there are small children and/or pets around. It may cost a bit more than some of the others, but it is well worth the difference.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Shredder so far So far I am very pleased with this purchase. I bought my 79Ci about 2 months ago. It made it through my annual tax time cleanup where I shred 100's of papers (some with staples) at a time, without an issue. I am most impressed with how quiet it is compared to my old shredder. The sheet capacity is also impressive. This is a work horse for any home or small office. The basket helps a great deal minimizing the mess.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 79ci Shredder Does the Job I purchased this shredder after using a smaller Fellowes unit and an Embassy unit in the past. They just would not keep up with the quantity of shredding I needed done. This 79ci shredder will take 8 or 9 sheets of paper at the same time without slowing down and after a couple of weeks, has not jammed as the earlier shredders would do. It is also several times more quiet than the others. The icons on the shredder top let you know the status of the shredder and the cause of any slowdown or stoppage in shredding ( such as the paper pin being full ). I highly recommend this for home or small office use.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from True quality Once a year, I shred a tremendous amount and burned up my shredder. I decided to spend much more hoping not to be so frustrated. I could not believe how quiet this is, and find it actually shreds the advertised amount of sheets and can do so more than 2 or 3 times without bogging down or lighting up as overheated--not so for the other shredders I have had. I have allergies, and the others produced a lot of dust. This one does not.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing Shredder! I recently purchased this shredder and it is incredible. It lets you know ahead of time before you have the chance of entering too many papers in with its sensor. It lets you know when it needs to cool down and it lets you know when it needs to be emptied so that you can prevent it getting overfilled or jammed. I love this shredder! It is jam (free) packed with everything a shredder needs!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great replacement shredder Our older Fellowes shedder finally had to be retired, because the bin broke and couldn't be replaced. Otherwise we wouldn't have needed to replace it, as it was still going strong after over 15 years of great service. This newer model is every bit as good, indeed better, as it has improved features. Though seemingly a minor matter, the caster feet are a great addition. The Powershred 79Ci also looks great. Looking forward to many years of continued great service from it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 79CI Review Sorry but they want a review when you just get it and register it so my experience is limited so I gave it an average ratings. They should have you to review it a few months later. The only problem I have is one of the casters will not stay on. My gripe would be on my previous Fellowes Shredder. A gear stripped and they do not sell replacement parts. It was a hard decision to spend more money on a higher price one especially if I need a replacement part in a year and I cannot get it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from replacing an 8 year old PS-79Ci My 8 year old PS-79Ci has finally given up the ghost after reams of shredding in a small office business environment. At 5 years the power switch became flaky, and since it was out of warranty I repaired the switch myself with a drop of epoxy in the right place. Then at 8 years of service it just quit all together. I believe the motor and shredding mechanism is still functional, but the electronic sensor(s) inside have gone kaput. I am not technically savvy enough to make that repair and having it repaired makes no sense. I only hope the newest model holds up as well as it's predecessor has.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Shredder This shredder replaced an older different brand that I had for home use, the Fellows model is slightly larger but it is much better. It is definitely much quieter than other brands I have looked at. The pull-out bin makes emptying the shredded documents easy and fast. It also allows for more pages to be shredded at once - speeding up the shredding process. I feel this would even work for a regular personal office shredder - not at home. With the color lights on the right side it quickly indicates to you if you are trying to shred too much at once.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Impressed so far I actually had a new Fellowes shredder that was only a few months old. I bought that one to replace one accidentally damaged by a relative. Unfortunately, it was smaller and had fewer features than I really wanted. It was a spur of the moment purchase. I stumbled across some reviews of the 79Ci recently and was impressed by the number of positive user reviews I saw on several websites. I decided to order one and I just got it today. I used it for about 20 minutes straight right out of the box and in the process, I overloaded it a couple of times. It reversed and recovered very quickly. I'm also very pleased about how quiet it is compared to my previous shredder! I actually shredded a bunch of documents while watching a TV show and I could still hear the dialogue! Very impressive! Based upon what I've experienced so far, I expect this machine to be quite capable and reliable. Time will tell.

The 79Ci seemed the best to me, without the nebulous extra features of the models just above it. I ordered it through Amazon, installed it, and could not be happier with my choice. It overcomes the only 2 things I disliked about my previous shredder, jamming on too many sheets and the auto shred light stopping due to paper dust over it. The only (minor) issues I have with this new model is the bin not being as large as I would like for a shredder that can do so many sheets so fast, and its bin not being shaped to make it easy to install a bin bag to hold the shredded product, both of which were better on my previous mid-90's model. Both items are easily solved with the new models, and I recommend a larger bin model to all, as having to stuff the shredded material down into a more compact size so one can continue shredding, is a nuisance. Overall, this is the best shredder I have used, including the much bigger ones at my last office, and I recommend it to anyone who can afford it, with the proviso that this is a very reasonably priced shredder - about the same price I paid in mid-90's for the then top of line home office model - and just as durable as far as I can tell after just a month's use.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great shredder Nice styling and color. Shreds 16 pieces of paper with ease. I even tried 20/22 sheets of paper and the machines jamb proof system indicated I was shredding too many papers but still shredded them. The machine is so quite that I shredded papers at 1:00 AM and my wife did not hear the machine(and she is a very light sleeper). The bin is very easy to remove and empty and re-install. The safesense operation of the machine actually works. I tried that operation several times and the safesense worked every time. Another plus for the shredder are the casters.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Machine Item was promptly shipped and very well packed, actually triple boxed counting the inner shelf display box. I unpacked unit, read the simple instructions and powered up. I was amazed at the quietness of this shredder. It will indeed take 14 sheets at a pass without complaining. The fact that it will balk and not start when the load is too thick is an excellent feature.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent SHredder I was attracted to this shredder for all of the reasons advertised and then some. It is the perfect machine for the amount and type of shredding I do beside my desk. The company I work for has the monster shredder if needed, but this is ideal for my needs, and I like everything about it - even the size that fits perfectly.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Purchase!! We were needing to replace our shredder in the office, so my husband started researching new ones. We ordered this Fellowes shredder because we'd been happy with our first one. This new shredder is MUCH quieter than our first, works like a champ, and is easy to empty. We would definitely recommend it to others looking for a great shredder!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Seems to be an excellent product I just received and set-up my shredder. It was well packed, easy to assemble, and seems to work well. I was most surprised at how quiet it is. It has all the features I was looking for - greater than 5-6 pages can be shredded at once, it can handle staples and small paperclips, shreds CDs and credit cards, has a pull out trash/recycle bin, easy to see when full as well as an indicator light, came with oil and applicator, on wheels so easily moved, energy efficient, and lots of safety devices built in. My only complaint is the shredder head is very heavy. Good thing you only have to handle it once or twice. Document the CRC # on the bottom of the shredder head before putting it on; that way you don't have to mess with it when you go to register.

We hope it will last us for quite awhile.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 79Ci Shredder doesn't stand for "79" cubic inches Nor does it require a license to operate.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from An Office Must Have The Powershred 79Ci's sleek design adds a touch of class to our office. The credit card, CD disc and staple shredding capabilities are enormous key features. The Jam Proof indicator is extremely helpful in eliminating any question of feeding to many sheets at one time. The added castors make it easy to move around for others to share. I know I will be ordering another Fellowes Powershred for my home and my husband's business.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice and durable Just received and worked on the first try. Easy to put together. I recommend putting the casters on for easy mobility. The safety features are excellent. Came with the oil and a few sample bags. Tested well on the first try. It wasn't any louder than the last shredder we had for years. Seems good but just received it. It is sleek and looks great in the workplace. It does take 16 sheets of 20# bond paper. Like the pull out waste container, less mess than a device where you have to pull up on the shred mechanism to remove the waste. So far, good to use.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Shredder The 79Ci Jam Proof Cross-Cut Shredder by Fellowes is the best shredder I have purchased in the last 20 years. I have tried every home-business shredder on the Market. The 79Ci is quiet, size is great, and the design I can put it anywhere and it don't look out of place. And to make it even more valuable it shreds anything I put in it. From credit card offers to old credit cards.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sooo Quiet! We had a DM12ct previously which was at least 8 years which performed amazingly well. It was powerful, and well built. This shredder is just as well built, has a great energy saving feature, and also is so amazingly quiet compared to the last one. The feed is slightly slower and it has a thickness sensor to prevent you from putting in too many sheets at one time. (With the old shredder, you wouldn't know it was going to jam until you had already put the paper in and it was feeding.) Overall a solid performer and with the Fellowes brand, you can't go wrong.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 79Ci Shredder I purchased this shredder for my office as a replacement for one that no longer worked (other brand). This Fellowes shredder is already so much better than my previous shredder. I have had it for a month and have had no problems.

I would definitely recommend this product to others.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from sportscar performance Ho Hum, a paper shredder. Well, the old 8 sheet Xerox kept jamming, so it was time for an upgrade for this home office. And wow - I went thru a huge pile of paper that had built up waiting to be shredded - in no time at all - it humms, crunches, never jams. No need to count pages to be sure not to overfeed it like with the old one. Weird to say, but what had been drudgery suddenly became, well, almost fun. What seemed to take the most time was no longer the shredding itself but emptying the bin into plastic grocery bags (then I discovered the plastic bags that came with it...).

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Shred, Shred, Shred I purchased 2 of these; one for our library branch and one for another of our branches.

The noise level is very minimal and hasn't jammed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from First Impressions Since I just got the shredder, these are my first impressions. First thing I noticed was that the shredder head is HEAVY. I consider this a good thing, indicating a strong motor. Another thing I found (as per other reviews) is that the rollers are hard to push into the holes. I found that pressing down while wiggling forward and back and side to side would get them to "clunk" or "click" into place. Assembly was simple, and it is a fine looking machine when finished. The first thing I did after assembly was oil the cutters. There is a small bottle of oil that comes with it and it seems that it will give about 5 or 6 uses before running out. Don't cut the tip off - poke a hole into the tip with a safety pin or something similar. This will keep you from flooding the cutters with too much oil when servicing. Once the cutters were oiled, I ran a few sheets of paper through, and was glad to find the operation smooth and relatively quiet. After that I shredded about half a basket worth of paper with no problems. Time will tell, but I feel confident that as long as I do my part with care and upkeep, it should be more than adequate for my needs.

Called customer service and talked with Alan who informed me the gears are no longer available. Checked with him on my needs and decided on this model to start shredding old IRS and work files. New model is great with larger capacity (16 pages), doesn't heat up like the old one, is quieter and emptying the pull-out container is much easier. I plan on following the instructions on oiling each time after emptying the container. Am very satisfied, although would have considered doing the repair work had new gears been available.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from PowerShred Doesn't This shredder is suppose to take 14 sheets at a time, but continually choked on just 3 sheets of straight fed copy paper. No way would this ever take 14 sheets -- maybe 14 sheets of tissue paper! Very disappointed with it because I spent the extra money to get the 14 page capacity over the 10 page. On the plus side it is quieter than my older (and cheaper) Fellowes shredder and I do like the "bin full" indicator.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A respectable product The Fellowes 79ci shredder is a worthy product. It appears durable and is very quiet. Like every other shredder I've owned (three) it is messy to empty and fills up to the shut-off point quite rapidly. I often find myself stopping to pack down its contents so that it will continue shredding. The paper bin must be re-inserted exactly so that it will start shredding again. It 'measures' the thickness of paper being inserted but that is essentially a worthless feature. Often, two or three sheets will register a full load as if I'd put in a dozen sheets. I think its sensors are a bit too sensitive. It will also start to shred a document (or documents), stop, back them out, then turn around and keep going again. This is a useful feature but it does waste time. The Fellowes 79ci is an improvement over my previous one, a Staples brand one of similar size. But it still needs further improvement.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from One Day Use I had a lessor model of Fellows before and I jammed it in a big way. As I opened it up to check on why it croaked, I was impressed by the heavy duty gears. The gear that stripped was a plastic one right off the motor drive gear. A lock pin also jumped off one of the cutter shafts. Although I was disappointed (my wife also) the unit jammed to this extent with stopping first, it does show how tough the shredder components are. I am still curious why my older unit died (W11C) and will dissect (do a post op) further. I also felt it was time for a heavier duty unit. The fact I purchased another Fellow shows that I don't fully blame the older unit for the failure. I shredded a bunch of built-up documents just after putting the new unit together and was pleased with the performance: hope it continues.

It's replacing a Fellowes shredder that I had for about 10 years. I have been impressed by the continuing availability of the Fellowes customer support and by the reliability of the shredder itself. The new shredder has extra features and makes emptying the bin much easier. The main reason I'm writing this review today is to commend the way the shredder was packaged. Recyclable formed cardboard instead of styrofoam. I'm so grateful that the folks at Fellowes care. Thank you!

I went thru a huge stack of shredding in less than 10 minutes with only one mishap, but that was me trying to test the limits. It handled it beautifully. So quiet compared to my old one. My old one kept overheating and could only handle a few pages at a time. It took me up to an hour for the same size stack of paper. So, I am thrilled to have made this purchase. Just wish I could figure out how to put the casters on! Hopefully, there is something on line to help.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from so far so good I had a small cheap shredder that fit over my trash can for years and it was great but finally broke recently so I decided to get a slightly more expensive one (not this Fellowes one) thinking it would hold up well but also shred credit cards. I was wrong, it was terrible and broke down after the first week of use even though I didn't put as many sheets through as it stated it would handle (not even close). I finally decided to get this Fellowes model because it stated it was virtually jam proof. I am sure I can figure out a way to jam it, but so far it has worked like a charm and I couldn't be happier with it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not all I had hoped for I purchased this machine for shredding paper to use as bedding in a llama operation. It is very time consuming to use this machine. After about 4 bins of shredded paper, I have to wait for it to cool down. I shred paper every 2 weeks, and it takes me a good 3 days to get the volume I need shredded. Not what I was hoping for or wanting. For a "desk job" person, this machine would be great for anyone wanting to have a machine that can produce volume of shredded paper, this is not it. It was probably my fault, I should have spent mega bucks and bought a large commercial shredded in the beginning, but this machine said commercial use. My bad and their bad - not enough information for my needs. Now, I have to spend mega bucks to get what I want and need.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Serious Shredder I recently moved up to the next level in Fellowes shredders because I needed a more heavy-duty machine (for home use). With the 79ci, I have been able to tackle a backlog of paper with ease. The pull-out paper bin is a major improvement over the one that required the motor to be lifted off the bin for emptying. I highly recommend this shredder to anyone who has a tendency toward paper-clutter. It's also surprisingly quieter than my old machine.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Replaced a Fellowes DM8C I finally broke my current Fellowes DM8C shredder that only lasted through 8 years of abuse! Fed more then it's rated number of pages and jammed it often. I put stuff in it that didn't need to fed into a non-commercial shredder. Wasn't aware of need to oil, so it NEVER was oiled. I will treat my new 79ci with more respect and I expect to it will outlast me. I can live with the smaller chad bin considering the new features like safety, anti-jam, and the casters are a real plus.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Mine must be broken I have used Fellows products for years and years and always been more than happy, until I got the 79ci. This is the worst shredder I have ever owned. - The capacity sensors are based on thickness, so wrinkled single sheets cause the sensor to stop shredding - not torque. It will work fine for one junk mail envelope but not another. I must constantly babysit the work and use the "force shred" option to get the jobs done. I really need to take the thing apart and disable the thickness sensor.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Choice Our old shredder had been in use for over 3 years. We used it on a daily basis. It was terrific, never jammed and held quite a bit. We replaced it because the switch stopped working. We were happy with Fellowes so we purchased the same shredder.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great little machine I had a Fellowes previously and it finally burned out. So I did some research, as I do for everything, and decided on the 79Ci. I ordered it in the afternoon on one day, and it arrived the next morning. WOW! Set it up that day and started using immediately. I don't know why certain reviewers say this machine is noisy. It's much quiter than the last one I had. It is a very smoothe operating shredder, has great safety features, and looks great in my small home office. My only 4 star (style & design) is because I wish the bin/bucket was larger (Design). Style is great. Many people wish for a bigger bin in their reviews and I agree. Just need to empty more often if you do a lot of shredding, Other than that, only one week using but very satisfied so far!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A good value for the price I bought this to replace one i burned up. I like that I don't need to lift off the top to empty the bin. It just slides out. it does pretty good on Jam Resistance but it does bog down if you put too much in.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from So far - Great!! Only got my Fellowes 79Ci shredder yesterday - but had a big pile of documents awaiting it's delivery and set-up as my previous $40 +/- Ativa (sp??) shredder had gone up. Set-up was simple - aside from having a little trouble getting the casters to lock. Found the trick was to wiggle a little bit and then a quick, deliberate push (or wack)... Anyway - it went through the pile easily and quickly; filled the basket up twice. The capacity indicator is a great feature - really helped me to guage the # of sheets as I went. Can't tell you how much I appreciate a good quality shredder that can go through the volume of documents this one did yesterday with zero (0) hiccups. No way the cheap one I had previously would have accomplished that - even when it was operating at it's best. Well worth the money provided it lasts at least a few years.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very good but three minor issues... I really like this machine with the exception of three minor issues. On the upside - its relatively quiet, performs well, and fits well under my desk. My last one was not on wheels, and this one is. Its a small detail but one that's makes it just that much more convenient to access. The three minor issues - first, after emptying and replacing the bin, it doesn't "snap into place" all the time. This trips the safety feature that keeps it from running and I need to jiggle it around to get it back in securely. Second, it comes with plastic bags for the bins (to catch the shredded paper) but the plastic doesn't line the inside bin neatly and gets in the way of closing the bin. Lastly, the casters were really difficult to get to stay in place. They kept falling out every time I turned the machine right-side up. Finally got them to stay after pushing really really hard on them.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Shredder Powershred 79Ci Fellowes Powershred 79Ci cross cut 100% jam proof paper shredder is jam-packed with special features that make its use easy and safe. It delivers a generous amount of security for a deskside paper shredder and is rated as security level 3 machine. The 79Ci is quite similar to the Fellowes Powershred 73Ci, which comes at a slightly lower price. The 79Ci has a larger sheet capacity of 14 sheets compared to 73Ci that can take 12 sheets at a time. Moreover, the Powershred 79Ci with a feed opening of 9 inch is able to easily shred letter and legal sized documents. The 79Ci is also not as sleek as the 73Ci, in fact its designed in a boxier shape, which makes it a perfect deskside paper shredder for personal use at home or office. Equipped with SafeSense technology that stops shredding operation when hands touch the feed opening! 100% jam proof technology allows you to experience problem free shredding, as the 79Ci shredder is equipped with a paper overfeed indicator. If the indicator turns red, that means you are trying to shred too many sheets. It has great warranty with 2-year parts and service warranty and a lifetime protection the cutting heads! SilentShred offers ultra-quiet performance for shared workspaces, but the shredding process is not silent! The caster wheels are very difficult to install, they do not snap in, and no instructions provided on how to install!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A Great Shredder This is a great shredder if you need a compact one -- and one that moves easily on wheels without tipping -- mine rolls on a tightly woven rug with no problem. The auto paper thickness measurement works well and clearly warns if you've loaded in too much. It's reasonably quiet and can also chew up credit cards and CDRs, though I haven't tried that yet. Nice that it comes with applicator bottle of shredder oil. I never knew these things needed to have the cutters oiled to keep them functioning at top capacity -- that's obviously why my very old Fellows eventually died -- but it makes perfect sense given what these machines do.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Concern with wheel construction I could never get the wheels to stay on the machine. The pictoral directions for inserting are simple but the wheels did not stay on the machine. They are very flimsy with poor construction. I do not use the wheels with my shredder so it is not flexible enough to move around in my room.

The safe sense feature will not work while standing in front of the shredder. You have to knell to have the sensor work. Not a practical way to operate for a floor unit.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Does the job without fail Solid, dependable machine that shreds quickly and quietly. I am very pleased with the jam-resistant feature. Although I was reluctant to buy a bigger machine than my last one, this was a smart move. More durable, easier to use, and can roll wherever I need to work. The drawer is much better for controlling mess and emptying the shredded paper than the machines that have the shredder directly over a plastic trash can. Drawer is very light, sometimes too light to slide easily back in, but this is very minor. SUPER happy with this purchase. Worth every penny!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Purchase This is the third shredder that we have had in our home, and by far it is the best. I am very impressed with the quiet operation of the unit. It does a Pacmanlike job when it is gobbling up the papers we don't want to share with others. The residue left after shredding is very secure in my opinion. I have shreded up to 5 sheets at one time. The machine handled it well and didn't skip a beat. The unit itself is very lightweight and easy to move around on its rollers. Although I bought this shredder for home use, I believe it would work well in a small business environment.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Average Rating due to setup and noise Set-up was simple - aside from having trouble getting the casters to lock. Found the trick was to wiggle a little bit and then a quick, deliberate push (or hard hit) – this is quite difficult for someone with arthritis. This is the fourth fellows shredder we have owned and we do not feel it is quiet. Our previous model MS-450C was much quieter. In fact, my wife has another desktop shredder on her desk which is much quieter than this one.

Even out of the box it has worked twice as well as any other shredder from other manufacturers. It alerts you when you put too much in, it backs out the material automatically, and has wonderful built in safety features. I look forward to this being my last purchase for a long time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Do not settle for cheaper options I only have had it for a day, but had lots of shredding to catch up on after my old shredder broke down. I am very impressed and pleased with the shredder, especially because I researched this purchase extensively. If you want to see a good demonstration of capabilities, check out some videos on youtube. I also saw it in action at an office, which ultimately made me buy this make and model. (I, however, bought it for home office use.) Anyway, this shredder is quiet, powerful and it looks good. It is not bulky, and the optional coasters allow it to roll easily to and from under my desk. A scale of colored lights lets you know how hard the shredder is working. The shredder comes with a small bottle of oil, required every time you empty the bin, according to the manual. Some plastic bin bags for shreds are included as well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A schredder that lives up to its claims Pros: Easy to Use, Features, Performance, will meet and exceed expectations, Mess Reduction, Quality Construction, Safety Features, Secure Cut Size, Sheet Capacity. Worked on the first try. Easy to put together. I recommend putting the casters on for easy mobility. The safety features are excellent. Came with the oil and a few sample bags. Tested well on the first try. It wasn't any louder than the last shredder we had for years. It does take 16 sheets of 20# bond paper. Like the pull out waste container though it is a bit small for my taste, less mess than a device where you have to pull up on the shred mechanism to remove the waste.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Slam Dunk This shredder is a BEAST! I bought it to replace one that sounded like a wood chipper, had a wire-frame receptacle that leaked scraps of paper like a french-fry basket, and took more breaks than a municipal employee. It also required that I lift off the shredding mechanism to empty the scraps that hadn't already leaked out. Yes. I would have liked a receptacle larger than six gallons. But I didn't want to spend the extra money for the extra capacity. This shredder does everything I want it to do — quietly, reliably, and safely. And the part about handling staples and paper clips is absolutely true.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent product I’ve been very favorably impressed with the 79Ci shredder’s performance. It is fast and is much quieter than other shredders I have used. The paper sensors are very useful and the storage bin is easily removed. The only problem is the Safesense safety light does not light when you touch the paper opening. The paper storage bin seems to fill very quickly, but a larger bin would of course mean the whole unit would have to be much larger. Overall I am very pleased with the 79Ci (except for the non-functioning safety light) , and would highly recommend this unit.

From box to office in less than 5 minutes and I was shredding everything I could find to shred. LOL It chewed through everything I had to give it in fast time. And each and every page was shredded fully. No chunks of unshredded stuff in there. The pieces were plenty small enough to prevent anyone from putting anything back together, The operation is simple and easy, it is nice and quiet for such a large shredder and it whips thru cards and CD's like they were paper. This was NOT the least expensive one I looked at, for sure, but I do not regret spending a little more on this one. I would highly recommend this shredder and I don't do that often.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from AAA + Product Having owned at least 3 shredders and never been satisfied with them, I am extremely pleased to finally have found a well made shredder that is capable of a large amount of paper feeds at one time w/o having it jam. The shred time before it needs to cool down is more than adequate. I had a multitude of documents to shred dating from 2008 onward and this shredder greatly facilitated the job unlike no other shredder I have owned or currently own as I was using both shredders to do the job. Too much jamming and need for cool down with my other one.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Solid, but not flawless This is our second unit. I apparently liked it enough to buy another one, but I was able to 'break' the first unit after a couple of years of use by simply turning it over accidentally. After this incident, the shredding gears would no longer turn and the unit would hum and quickly overheat while trying. It is solid, however, churning through whatever I'd throw at it without incident. My only real gripe with the unit is waste disposal. I do wish the bin were better designed to capture and easily dispose of without spilling any scraps.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Shredding my Life. Wife has been using this very operator friendly shredder for three weeks plus as we clear out our paperwork files held by us for the last twenty-six years. We will be moving soon. It is quick, quiet, and has had no jambs since we started using it for about four hours a day. Smooth working and leaves us with a bag of double cut shreds. We like it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Replaced an old Fellows shredder Hard to do a fair review since it just went into service yesterday but early use was quite good and remarkably quiet for a shared office space. My old unit lasted over 20 years with "no" maintenance whatsoever and it still works.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Pleased My previous non-Fellowes shredder was nothing but frustration with constant jamming, My 79Ci is fantastic quickly shredding papers and the 14 page limit is high enough so that I don't have to split most of what I shred. My only complaint is that I thought the casters were hard to press in. I want to send one to my mother but I don't think she is strong enough to press them in to where they are properly seated.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Shredder Decision Our old Fellowes shredder finally gave out, after well over 5 years of service. After handling several estates and all the paper shredding that entails, we knew we wanted a sturdy, dependable, non-jamming and quiet new shredder. Quality and value were important to both my husband and me. We knew we wanted to choose another Fellowes brand shredder, since our old one was a workhorse. After checking several retail websites and reading many online reviews, we decided the 73ci model had what we wanted. Fortunately, that model was on sale at the local office supply store, and they were happy to match the price of a local competitor. We got the new 'fellowe' home, plugged it in, and got to shredding. Setup was simple, and we were shredding in minutes. We were immediately impressed by the quietness during its operation, as well as the safety features on this model. It's funny how excited a couple can get by buying a new, quality shredder for a reasonable price!!! We expect to get many years of service out of this fellowe, and value the 2 year manufacturer's warranty, too. Great choice for home use (or small office) if you shred almost daily and need a durable model. We would have selected a light beige color if offered (shows less dust we are sure!), but the black is okay. The design is sleek, too. You can feel confident making this selection and we will recommend this model to others. The bulldog image shown on the box aptly described the 73ci !!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Pretty Good Product The shredder clearly works fine. I was just hoping that it could hold a larger number of sheets. Initially it accepted a larger amount, then half way through it stopped shredding. I had to take out some papers for it to continue. Other than that I am very pleased!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works as Described I have just plugged in the shredder. First 20 sheets of paper shredded as designed. I like the fact that the a normal paper grocery bag fits the bin. Makes recycling more convenient. Just hard to tell when the bin if full. But way more quiet than my 10 year old unit that finally went belly up.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from POWERSHRED 79Ci REVIEW This shredder is exactly the product that was advertised.It is the quietest shredder that I have personally operated. The machine is easy to operate and (Normally) I have difficulty with so called easy to operate machines, they do not live up to the easy/simple to operate statement, but this one operates as described, instructions are clear and easy to follow. I used a rubber mallet to install the wheels so not to damage them and I did not experience any difficulty installing them, it just took two (2) good whacks each to put them on . (Not bad for a female ). If you are in the market for a shredder that is 79Ci is what they say it is try one and experience a winner for yourself. The price is fair for what you get and the quality is impressive. Shredding paperwork is an enjoyable task and I can do this from my home. This is what I wanted when I made the purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very Pleased I am very pleased with my new Fellowes 79Ci shredder. I replaced a lower capacity shredder from another manufacturer when it became damaged. I almost cannot believe how my efficiency has increased with the 79Ci. What would take hours to shred before, now only takes minutes. I am actually happy that my previous unit was damaged and required replacement. The increased efficiency is well worth the investment!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love this Shredder! This is my second Fellowes shredder. I had the first one for many years before I finally wore it out. With preparing to move to a new house I decided it was time to clear out the filing cabinets. I checked out other shredders and ended up back at Fellowes. I thought that their features, prices and designs were the best. Since I had a lot to shred I did upgrade from my previous shredder to one that could handle a longer run time and more sheets at a time. Since some of my papers were old and wrinkled I was concerned that they might jam as they use to in my old shredder. But not the 79Ci!! It handled them perfectly. It's not to noisy and with the casters it is easily moveable if you need to. The only issue I had was inserting the casters. Even my husband had to use a bit of force to get them in but they definitely won't fall out! This is a great shredder and I expect that it will last for many years.

Only thing I really wish it had would have been an auto feeder but really was a value.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Better than the reviews indicate! I love my new Fellowes 79Ci. It is a replacement for a less-than-two-year-old Royal shredder that stopped working; it was of similar size and shredding capacity to the 79Ci. As to the reviews I read before purchasing this shredder: (1) Some reviewers had trouble getting the casters in. I had very little difficulty; with just a little wiggling of the caster, it slipped right in. (2) Reviewers complained about the bin not shutting if it is partially full with shredded paper. The bin shuts solidly even if mostly full. Just push it in at the middle of the drawer--down about 4-5" from the hand-hold. (3) Then there were complaints about having to open the bin periodically to push the shredded paper down. Yes, I do have to open the bin and mash the shredded paper down fairly often. However, it is less often than with the Royal shredder I had and the 79Ci stops taking the paper when the bin is showing full and needs to have the paper pushed down. The Royal kept taking the paper and then it jammed, requiring a lengthy process of removing the pieces of paper that were stuck in the shredder blades. I'm very glad I ordered this shredder.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sweet Machine I have purchase several shredders over the last 20 years. Most were inexpensive models that fit over a trash can. I burned most of them out after attempting to shred years of accumulated files. I realize the importance of data security and I decided to buy a new shredder. This model is great! It does exactly what it says it will do. I work on sensitive client files. I destroy draft reports immediately now instead of creating a shred pile in a box. The unit is fast and very quiet. I can almost get away with using it at night!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Disappointed Rolling wheels make it difficult to use - have to brace the shredder against something else to use. Very difficult to get paper into the shredder - can NOT put in just one or two pieces because the "safety" mechanism won't slide out of the way. It simply crunches up the paper. Have to put at least four sheets in to make it stiff enough to push the safety mechanism out of the way. Works OK if you have lots of paper, but if you have an odd couple sheets to do, you have to fold them to make it stiffer so it will enter the shredder.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Quiet and Reliable, so far. I've only had this for a couple of weeks. But, so far, so good! I bought this shredderi to replace my old Champion shredder that broke after 10 years of good service. I use it in my home office, so it wont be used very much. I seldom shred more than a few (less than 10) sheets of paper at a time. Thus far the 79Ci does the job well. Positives are it's much quieter than my old shredder, about the same dimensions and will process more sheets at one time than my shredder. I, also, like the fact that it powers off, automatically, if it's left on. No negatives, so far.

We have never had an issue with it--its performance has been flawless.

I wish I could write a review like this for ALL of our office equipment!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fellowes is the best This Fellowes 79Ci is replacing a Fellowes PS 60CC shredder we bought in 1996, which has finally given up. If this new one lasts half as long, I will be happy. So far, the new shredder is living up to it's praises. The one small complaint I have is that the basket fills up too fast and I think that is because the cut size is larger than our previous shredder. It is quieter and safer to use. I wouldn't buy a shredder unless the Fellowes name was on it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Strong Silent Type I needed a new shredder that didn't require me to waste time opening all junk mail, tearing off the sensitive info, and running those small pieces through a cheap 4-page shredder a few at a time. Further, that shredder needed me to spend more time pulling paper bits out of the shredding mechanism every time I emptied the bin. I looked at a number of in-depth reviews on this machine, and all gave it glowing remarks - with good reason! I've only had it a few days, but it does gobble up the advertized amount of paper, and I've found that I can shred many junk mail items without even opening the envelope - I just run the whole thing right through. As strong as it is, it's incredibly quiet - even more so than I had imagined from web videos I'd seen. Don't worry about complaints of the bin being difficult to close that you might read online. There is a catch near the bottom back of the enclosure that I suppose is designed to keep the bin from jostling out during operation. When you slide the bin back into the unit, that catch is what is making it difficult to get the bin all the way back in and engage the safety switch. When you hit that stop, if you just tip the top of the bin out a bit, that lifts the bottom back edge of the bin over the catch, the bin then slides right into place, and you'll hear the little safety switch engage. Also, don't worry about complaints of not having instructions on how to oil the mechanism. The instructions I received with the shredder show exactly what to do on page 4. And finally, I've seen no problems with mess, as long as I don't let the bin overfill. I'm not bothering with bin liners - just dumping the bin into a trash bag with other trash or recyclables, depending on what I've shredded. All of the shredded particles seem to fall into the bin. Caveat - I've not shredded a CD yet, and I expect those could get a bit more messy. Thanks, Fellowes! I'm looking forward to years of much more efficient shredding - and no more dread of the shred!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Shredder 79 Ci I bought 2 Staples shredders, but had to replace them almost yearly. After research I decided to purchased a Fellowes and have been a very happy since then. The shredder was used daily and performed very well for over 5 years. It started to be sluggish and decided it was time to replace it. I would never buy anything but a Fellowes, so I bought another 79 Ci. When you find a winner you stick with it !!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fellowes Products In General I purchased this Fellowes 79Ci Crosscut Shredder because my previous shredder, a single cut Fellowes shredder finally died. The shredder had worked well for about 3 years before it It had a lightening caused electrical short that fried the electric transformer in the wall. I replaced it with a variable transformer from Radio Shack, and it worked fine for another 8 years.before it jammed on a stapled over thick packet of paper. I never even thought of purchasing any other brand the a new Fellowes! So, I logically thought of a cross cut machine that could cut staples--when necessary--as will as CD's,old credit cards, and 16 sheets of paper at one time. Great product!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from President I thought that the 79Ci that I purchased 6 years ago would last longer. I maintained the shredder periodically and oiled it as necessary. I do not know what the average life expectancy of the shredder is. I used it 2-3 days a week with average use (40 sheets a day)

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fellowes 79Ci Purchased new. In use approximately two months. Works well. No jamming problems so far. Shut down after two minutes of non use is a nice feature. Besides quality, safety features are the reason I purchased a Fellowes shredder. First time I used the recommended plastic bag which makes it easier to empty. The only negative I have, I should have purchased the micro cut instead of the cross cut. The only reason, is my last shredder was a micro cut and I believe it shreds better.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from It works I've had the shredder for about 6 months, and it has performed well. I try not to use it continuously to avoid overheating. The bin fills up rather quickly with the many loose shreds, but one can tamp down the contents or dump them without much trouble. One has to be careful not to put too many sheets at a time in the machine, but given that, it has been working flawlessly.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great powerhorse Replacement to OLD Powershredd55 - I got tired of the high noise level AND the need to physically remove the top and dump the "trash can". This unit is 100% quieter. I like using the plastic bag liner, then simply opening the bin, removing the bag, and putting in a new one. Spent a Saturday afternoon feeding old credit card statements without any jamming or overheating. Know what kind of cross shredder you want for security, as this is NOT a microcross shredder. Great purchase!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Bad power switch I bought my PS-79ci shredder about 8-1/2 years ago. It worked great for the first few years but they it got hard to turn on. After a few tries with the switch it would finally start but over the last few years it has taken more tries with the power button to get it to turn on. Now it won't turn on completely at all. It will momentarily light up and stay on for about 2-3 seconds but then turn off. This is poor quality to me. Even thought the shredder is 8-1/2 years old I haven't used it to its full potential. Not even close. I have probably emptied the bag about 3 times per year so the shredder really didn't get used like it is built to be used. For that reason I don't think there should be any problem with the switch or turning it on and keeping it on.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Does the Job Have used product for two days and only experienced one paper jam, which I was able to clear up quickly. While not silent, it's a lot quieter than the previous shredder I owned. Works as advertised and appears to be a reliable shredder that will offer years of service. Comes with a small vial of lubricant, which is a nice touch. Instructions should inform user to wipe excess lubricant from inside waste bin after applying. Bin fills up quickly. Fellowes includes three, clear recyclable bags to put shredded paper, which is useful. However, the supplied bags are not thick and sturdy, and I had to apply tape on a small tear on one bag after transferring the waste paper. Be sure to use a recyclable bag that is large enough to fit over the waste bin to prevent shredded paper from falling to the floor when emptying the bin. Have not tried shredding credit cards or CDs/DVDs. Will try that later. The 79Ci has had no problems dealing with small staples.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Quiet & Fast shredder Only been using this for a few weeks at home but I like it much better than any other shredder I've had. Getting the casters on it during assembly was tricky, they should have better instructions for that. After the 1st time emptying, getting the bin back in place just right to where it will allow you to shred took a little effort too. Like that it came with oil to help maintain, I have read that lack of oil is the death of a lot of shredders.

They don't screw in; you can't beat 'em in place with a hammer. They don't tell you they have to be in a certain position to go in. Also, there are no directions for putting trash bag in bin.

As for the shredder itself, the bin is kinda floppy and is hard to lock in place, but it's very quiet and powerful.

I keep it in the corner in the laundry room, close to where I open my mail every day. I've become very aware of identity theft and shred anything that has our name or address on it. It's much easier doing this daily rather than accumulating a box full and taking it to the large shredder at my office.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from What's to Complain About? This shredder replaced another cross-cut shredder I had for about five years. The other was noisy and jammed itself frequently by getting the confetti stuck in its shredder mechanism on the output side. This shredder is quiet, never jams and works so well, I don't even think about it. When it shipped, the caddy that attaches to the back was missing. It's not important, but it's convenient for storing the shredder's documentation. I called customer support and they shipped it out, no problem. So what would I improve? Maybe beef up the plastic shredder drawer a little. Summary: Buy it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Happily Shredding I purchased this shredder to replace one I had owned for four years and was happy with. I work in an industry that demands a lot of shredding. I researched before purchasing this one. This is my first "Fellowes" Shredder. I must say I am 'VERY HAPPY' with it. It allows me to shred many pages at one time thus saving me time. It is also pretty quiet....unlike my last shredder. My only disappointment if you can call it that is the capacity. I find I have to empty it a lot more than my last one. But other than that, I would highly recommend this shredder to others.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love our new shredder! I just love our new shredder! It does everything we need it to and more. I especially like the sheet capacity indicator, which keeps you from inserting too much paper at one time and the jam proof system, which really works. The only down side is the small bin fills up way too fast and is messy to empty.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I LOVE this shredder! I just bought this shredder, but had several garbage bags full of papers that I needed to shred. My old shredder had a small basket and a small mouth, so I had to fold all the papers in half to get them into the device and had to empty the basket every ten minutes or so. FRUSTRATING! Anyway, I zipped through my tons of shredding with no problem. I did have to keep emptying the basket, but that was to be expected - I think a 6 gallon basket is great for everyday use. The jam-proof function worked REALLY well - it stopped anytime the material in the basket touched the blades or anytime too many papers were fed into the mouth at one time. NO JAMS! It can handle up to 13 pages at once, so my work was done quickly and the BEST part (which you can't tell from the product descriptions) is that it is SOOO quiet. This huge shredder is much quieter than my little 6-page 1-gallon shredder. The only annoying part is the basket - it has to be pushed in all the way in several places for the shredder to operate. In all other respects though, I love this shredder!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Greatest Shredder Ever I had to write a review to let others know my experience with Shredders. Between 2009 and early 2010 I have gone through 4 shredders before the Fellowes Shredder, my last one only lasted about 4 months. I was beginning to think shredders and me dont get along, I am always shredding stuff. I have to point out I have two small children and they are always into whatever I am doing and i am amazed at their Safe Sense feature, as soon as my little ones hands touch the opening it auto stops and proceeds shredding once no hands are touching. I also like the fact that, i can put quite a load of papers in the opening and the Shredder senses the thickness and adjusts and pushes papers through on its own. This is the Greatest Shredder ever. I have only had it a few weeks now, but I have done a ton of shredding these last couple of weeks especially since it is tax season I was getting rid of alot of documents not needed. I recommended this shredder and brand to all my family members and friends. Oh, I almost forgot I love the fact that it comes with its own trash bag, now when its full (which it also tells you) I pull bag out and throw away I dont have to haul the basket over to the garbage to throw shredded paper away. Also, I like that it comes with a lubricant to keep shedder in perfect conditioning. Oh, and when they say quiet it really is quiet, I have heard of other shredders claiming to be quiet and always woke my baby up if they were napping around/near shredder, but this one I could literally shred papers with them sleeping next to machine and it is absolutely quiet, if you purchase this shredder know that you are getting a high grade office/business quality shredder that you can now have at home at a decent cost.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Impressed I am impressed with the quality of this product and the extra features that are included for the price. It detects the number of pages being inserted with a scale of lights from green to red to let you know if you are inserting too many pages. There is a safety light and a light to let you know when the basket is full. It has had no problems shredding CD, credit cards and papers with staples and is very quiet also. Makes the chore of shredding much easier and faster when there is no constant jamming like with other less expensive shredders.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worth the Money At first I was reluctant to spend this much for a shredder. I don't really shred that much... until now! I replaced a shredder that seemed to struggle with just a few sheets; and it was loud. You don't realize how loud until you experience the Fellowes. Very Quiet. Handles several sheets easily. CD's and credit cards are no problem. Now I don't throw out anything with my name and address on it without shredding it first and I feel much more secure about my ID.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Product for Office Use Shredder simply works!!! Its quiet and efficient. Perfect for deskside use. Only drawback is that if you use heavy paper (24lb) as I do, it can't shred quite the number of pages advertised. Given its speed and ease of use, that's really not a problem. We recently purchased 3 shredders from Fellowes and each works well as promised right out of the box. One less problem in my live. Well worth the expenditure.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Like It I really like my shredder, it is very quite and once it has shredded the paper it stops running. Most shredders run for another 3 to 4 seconds after the paper has shredded and some times this is very annoying. The one thing I do noit care for is the basket that you dump. You have to push the basket in very firmly, and I mean very firmly. Also you you dump the paper it leaves a lot of paper that is coming down from the shredder and even with the basket having a trash liner it still has a lot of residue paper and you have to get a dust pan to clean up the mess.

I have now had the Fellowes for several months trouble free. I do not have the time to plug and un-plug a product that is supposed to be automatic. My time is too valuable to have to baby a product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fellowes PS-79Ci shredder I cannot speak to endurance, because I've only had this shredder for a few weeks. I do love, it, though. My last shredder was also a Fellowes but with few features and a smaller container. After a year, it stopped working properly (had to continually move the backwards, forwards mechanism to get it to slowly take the two pages it would shred). This one takes multiple sheets and corrects itself (moves briefly backward) when it begins to jam. Consequently, so far, it is jam-proof. It lets me know if I am putting too many sheets in. It does make some noise, but less than some and not distasteful. So far, I am very pleased.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Outstanding Shredder I have owned several shredders before and found them all to be frustrating. No matter how careful I was, they always jammed up and overheated. The Fellows shredder has never jammed on me when I used it as recommended. It does heat up but this is because I save up stuff to shred and then run it continuously when I use it. So this is not a problem with the shredder. An excellent product, well worth the price.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from PS-79Ci Delivers I brought this shredder home, unpacked it, plugged it in, and started shredding without any problems. A few months later, and it is still going strong. I was undecided on whether to buy such a powerful unit, but when I needed it, the unit came through for me. I lost my Mom recently, and when we cleared out her place we were left with years worth of documents. The documents were out-dated, but still sensitive in nature. So, I put the PS-79Ci shredder to very good use. I blasted through piles of documents in no time at all. The jam-proof feature is foolproof, because it is based on the overall thickness of the paper(s) being fed in. If it exceeds a certain overall thickness, it just won't shred it. Pretty simple. If it doesn't like what it is fed, it stops, backs up and then continues shredding when it can. It also prevents little fingers from being hurt, by shutting off when it senses any fingers near the opening. Pretty slick. Since I recycle paper, I shred just about everything that comes across my desk, regardless of the sensitivity rating. It makes trash day much easier. Instead of putting it into my waste basket, I just pop it into the shredder. I pour the shredded paper into a brown shopping bag, squash it down, tape it up, mark it "SHREDDED PAPER" and toss it into the recycled paper bin. It takes up so much less space! The only thing that I'd like to see, is a better way to empty is, without getting paper dust all over the carpet. It would be nice if the shredder had paper bags available, so that it could be caught as it was shredded, folder over, taped and recycled!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Shredding with Style and Grace Never owned a paper shredder nor used one before. Always tore up private papers by hand. Would take 2 or 3 hours to destroy old tax-related papers every year to make room for the new ones. Thought I'd buy a cheap shredder, but when I went online and read reviews, it became clear that cheap shredders jam and/or overheat. So, I decided to buy a good one. The Fellowes PS-79Ci is reviewed very favorably by a large number of customers, so I bought it. The day my new Fellowes shredder arrived, it quickly turned old bank and broker statements along with other papers into bits of confetti that could never be reassembled. Unfortunately, there was no parade onto which I could throw the stuff from a high floor and get away with it. The Fellowes never jammed--just reversed itself automatically on the few occasions I tried to stuff too many pages into it. The finger-sensing area around the paper slot prevents any chance of injury. A series of lights shows how close a group of pages nears feeding capacity. That feature made it easy for me to develop a feel for the thickness of pages that could be fed into the shredder at one time. There's another indicator light showing when the bin is full. I expected any paper shredder to be noisy, but this one just purrs. It's very quiet for a machine that voraciously eats as many pages as quickly as the Fellowes does. One critical comment is that a compact stack of flat pages turns into a much larger pile of tiny pieces, buoyant with air--like popcorn except that it fills from the top down instead of the bottom up. So, prepare to empty the bin frequently and vacuum up a mess after transferring confetti from the bin to a trash bag if you don't dump the clippings into a very large container. I didn't bother using a plastic bag in the bin which might have been cleaner. Too bad I don't have more items to shred. Maybe I'll knock on some neighbors' doors and volunteer to shred for them because it's so much fun to use the new shredder. To be serious, the PS-79Ci is a fine product that does what it was designed to do: It shreds papers quickly, quietly, effortlessly, and with style and grace.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Underwhelmed? Not sure what all of the praise is about. It is quiet. It seems powerful. It does shred. On the other hand, it's incredibly messy. It is impossible to empty the bin without spilling shreds on the floor. The bin regularly dislodges, causing it to stop working (a safety feature) until you realign the bin. The full bin sensor is so sensitive it registers a full bin when the bin is only half full-- meaning you have to pull the bin out, spill some shreds, and pat down the trash in order to keep shredding. You have to shred something reasonably thick in order to activate the shredder, for example I cannot shred a single receipt or single sheet of paper-- just too flimsy to activate the shredder. Generally I have to shred at least 3 sheets at a time, and receipts must be fed in with something more substantial. The safety feature that shuts the machine off if your hands touch it is more annoying than useful. I keep tweezers next to the machine to defeat this safeguard.

Hence, it has had a considerable amount of use.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Cross-Cut Shredder Wow. This shredder is so much quieter than our old Fellowes. It easily shredded a 2 inch stack of papers in just a few minutes. I hope it lasts as long as our old one. We have had it 12 years and its still going strong, we just grew and needed a shredder that could handle more volume. :)

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Well Priced My medical office uses 2 Fellowes shredders ever day purging files as well as daily paper work. I just bought my third Fellowes shredder due to # 2 no longer completely doing the job after being used for 4 years. My first purchase is still in use. There was no question on my part as to which shredder to order as I have been so happy with the first 2 Fellowes shredders. THANK YOU!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Quality Product We have purchased a cross cut shredder in the past, but it was very loud and did not stand up to the test of time. This one sits under our desk, rolls in whichever direction we want it to go, and performs the job quietly, quickly and efficiently. The paper bin is easily removed and we loose very few scraps when emptying it. I would recommend this product for any type of office use.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love the size! I just recently purchased Powershred 79Ci. It was so easy to assemble right out of the box. Just took a few minutes and I was ready to shred. So quiet compared to the one I replaced. Love the size of it. Does not take up much room and can easily slide under my desk. I also like the fact that I don’t have to worry if a staple or a paper clip goes thru and that I can shred up all that junk mail. You won’t be disappointed. It is a great shredder.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A great replacement for an old bulky shredder. We purchased the Powershred 79Ci to replace the old bulky shredder we had in the office. It was temperamental, prone to jamming and super loud. The Powershred easily handles the same workload of the old shredder while being quieter and not jamming. The Powershred has a much nice form factor while still shredding the same size documents, and same amount of pages as our old shredder. Finally have the chance to catch up on the shredding we have been putting off!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Clumsy Bag and Minimal Storage This is the second Fellowes shredder that I have purchased for the office. This Fellowes shredder bags do not fit nicely in the receptacle. You have to really fight it to get the plastic liner bag to fit inside. The receptacle for catching shredded paper doesn't seem to work very well as it fills up very quickly again I think it is a poor design. I did just minimal shredding and I had to open the door and push the shredded paper down before I could continue. Not thrilled with this unit.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Satisfaction and Safety Just replaced our Fellowes shredder with another new Fellowes shredder after using every day in my office for over 9 years. The other MAIN reason we buy Fellowes shredders is the fact it has the safety if anyone (small children or out pets or others with long hair, etc.) stops in and should accidentally go near this shredder it immediately stops. This should be a law that all shredders have this. I saw a video years ago when a dog got his tongue caught in a shredder and I never got over that site. Thank god not our dogs but regardless the thought that it can happen is more than enough reason to purchase only a shredder that has this safety feature. The replacement unit seems slightly upgraded with a timer that shuts the unit off if not in use a while and starts right back up if you insert a paper to shred (leaving that safety factor still in tack). The shredder is definitely a winner for all the above reasons

I have shred everything from single sheets to credit cards, to CDs with no problem. My only con is the drawer is a bit tricky to lock into place. Other than that it is perfect in everyway. LOVE IT!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Hope this is as good as my old 64C I just purchased a new 79Ci as a replacement for my old 64C which lasted about 7 years and was great until the motor finally burned out. Think I used it for too long a time and the indicator went Red and stayed red every time I tried to use if after that. The shredder would go backward for a second but never forward. I guess it finally went. However, when I had it for the approx. 7 years, I used it a lot and it always worked well. Just bought a replacement which is advertised as a little stronger so I am hoping that it will out last my lifetime. Fellows makes a great shredder and I have never been sorry with the performance but after retiring as a CPA I just had too many files and papers to shred over the years.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Huge upgrade over previous basic shredder Great shredder! I have been used to using < $100 basic home shredders, so this is a huge upgrade. The sturdy metal shredding teeth are much more durable than cheaper machines. The 16 sheet capacity makes bigger jobs quicker. The features of the Safesense (turns off motor if fingers touch feed slot) and Jam Proof (automatic reversing and refeeding if a jam is detected) are not necessary, but add to the worry free and speedy operation of the machine. I am very happy that this time I replaced my shredder with a tougher machine!

Otherwise, I'm very pleased with this purchase. Also, it was easy to assemble and instructions were clear.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from It's Okay My Fellowes PS80C-2 finally kicked the bucket after about 30 years. It was simple, reliable, sturdy, and fast. I wanted to fix it, but found that it'd shredded a drive gear and replacement parts were no longer available. So. this 79ci was the closest I could find with good reviews and that was also locally available. It's okay, but slower, has a smaller catch basin, more complicated, and I've the sense it won't last nearly as long.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Huge Improvement From My Previous Shredder I purchased this shredder because I got tired of how my previous Insignia shredder would jam even when trying to shred less than it was rated for. The Fellowes 79Ci is much more powerful than my previous shredder and will even tell me if I am trying shred too much at once before it has a chance to jam It can also stop and back up really thick stuff automatically to continue shredding without me having to do a thing. Overall I am happy with this shredder. The only two items I would improve is the bin needs to be a little bigger and the automatic sleep mode is a little confusing. These aren't issues really but just a couple of improvements for future versions.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 3rd Fellowes Shredder over the past 25+ yrs. Received a new 79Ci last week and immediately put it to work. Amazed at how many sheets of paper it will take and with a 5 year old grandson over at my house quite often, the safety measures on it are great over my past one. Actually, to be fair the 25+ year old Fellowes shredder still works , it just has a broken switch after all these years so you have to hold one button down to get it to work. Makes it a bit more cumbersome for continuous feed, but impossible to complain since it is around 25--26 years old. This is my third Fellowes, but the 2nd one I used at work, before I retired, was extremely trouble free and durable, but not quite tough enough to fall on the concrete off the tailgate of my pickup and survive , ha. I will say ,for the money , this new one is a bargain and I can easily imagine it will last longer than I will. I plan on taking my ancient one in to Goodwill since I am sure it will give someone solid usage for a few more years!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not really as exprected I am replacing a MS460ci micro cross cut shredder which is no longer made. This unit arrived and I found the trim surrounding of one of the wheel mounts dented. It did not stop me from mounting the four caster wheels. I have found a number of issues - 1) The machine doesn't appear to grab the paper all along the entrance. If you have a till receipt put it in the centre if you want to activate the feed. 2) There is a slight noise at the end of a paper shred as though something is unbalanced. I'd call it a vibration I've not had in my previous Fellowes shredder. Finally and most importantly 3) It does NOT run for 20 minutes and rest for 30 minutes. I had a pile of letters and envelopes to shred. Nothing too thick. I'd guess it could run for some 15 minutes or less before the lamp came on saying we had to stop. The machine also sometimes stops without warning with no lights. Its only after opening the basket you might find its full and needs to be emptied. THEN the light comes on after you have opened the basket. Apart from that I hope it gives us good service. Its only used in a domestic environment to shred old credit card bills and invoices.
