This was a replacement from another brand of paper shredder...I had purchased a Swingline model and it was always overheating and jamming until one day it stop working.....which I only had for 4 months....I was surprised by Swingline as I read from Consumer Reports as being good quality...so I checked other reviews of other brands and went to several retail stores to compare prices and qualities. Fellowes Heavy Duty paper shredder gave me all amenities I wanted....would recommend with my eyes closed to anyone.

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.

I have totally falen in love with the ease of use of my PS-79ci. I deal a lot with exxtremely sensative documents and the capability of having a shredder that makes little chips of paper gives me piece of mind that none of the information cah be resonstructed. Thank you ever so much for such a great piece of equipment.

All the reviews on this were great so I decided to spend the money to get one, Got it home and it doesn't work. Says the door is open, NO matter what I did, I couldn't get it to go green. Need to return this and am hesitant to even get the same item. I was looking for something bigger, quiet and better than my little shredder I have from Staples. Super disappointed

I have tried several shredders and this one is some what better then the others. I think it said 16 pages at a time, but 4 or 5 will stop it.. The lights are kind of useless because it stops when there's too many pages so why the lights. it stops constantly with just a few pages and over heats much too fast. Its a little better then the others i've tried but nothing to talk about.

We are really surprised with the quietness and durability of this shredder. It handles a sufficient quantity through the feeder, and processes it into very fine pieces making it easy to discard. It makes quick work of a large job. We highly recommend this product to the consumer.

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!

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.

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.

Our Daughter came home from 5 years in South Korea where she was teaching . She had a box of papers that needed to be shredded and our ould shreder had just stopped working right before she came home We needed a new shredder right away and found the fellows PS 79 C For seveal days we shredded Other then when the bin was full and having to clean off the shredder part this shredder has been a work horse So far we are pleased with it
