Fellowes Powershred 79Ci Cross Cut Shredder

My old shredder (feels like I had it for a hundred years) died. I couldn't find a shredder from any of the local stores. This one I found (online from Walmart) has everything I want in a shredder and more. The bin is easily opened and closed. It's quiet. It has a large page acceptance. The instructions are clear. I had oil (a bottle) and bags (3) that came in the box. It (in the instructions) says it was tested so that there shouldn't be any problems. In short, I love it.

Fellowes Powershred 79C i 100% JamProof Cross-Cut

I bought this new Fellowes Powershred 79Ci 100% Jam Proof Cross-Cut Shredder for home use. I had a Fellowes Shredder for at least 12 years that did not have all the shred options that this new one has! It is powerful, easy to use , shreds up to 16 sheets of paper at a time, shreds staples, and also shreds credit cards! No more cutting up outdated credit cards in little pieces with scissors! I liked this shredder so much that I bought another one for my Son for his Birthday to use in his home office. I have had this shredder for a few months and there are no jams or problems!! I cleaned out old files and shredded all old bank, investment, and personal papers. I had a stack of credit cards that I shredded which were outdated or sent as offers from different companies. I shred everything with my name and address on it instead of just throwing it in the trash. This Fellowes is an awesome shredder, and I recommend it to anyone looking for a home shredder!!

more than needed for most homes, good for bus use

This item is heavy and for high volume shredding. I bought this for a home office, and unless you are truly running a business out of your home office, this may be more than you need. Suggest a lesser model for those simply doing home related shredding. Got it on sale so it was only a little more than the lower model, but frankly wish I had bought the lesser, lighter, easier to move, and a bit more cosmetically nice-looking white home model.
