Watch a video or listen to music, either way relax, no more feeling like you are drilling holes in concrete. Not less noisy then others this one is quiet. Its on casters and it rolls nice. The engineers did a good job. Powers through misaligned paper. Made me happy which is very unusual for me. It's good to be happy. Why not make your-self or significant other happy also.

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

I bought the shredder to replace a shredder (Fellowes) that I had pretty much worn out. I was looking for quiet operation and high "run time vs rest time". I also wanted a crosscut shredder. The PS-79Ci seemed to meet these criteria at lower cost than others I looked at. I could have bought any of several shredders at less cost but they all were significantly noisier and the advertised rt/rt was much less.

I was impressed with the quietness, and how many pages that can be shredded at one time. The only thing I have found bad so far is the weight of the head and how frequently it needs oiled. Also seems to heat up after only a few minutes of use....have to wait for it to cool down.

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.

I had been using a very basic shredder for many years that just created strips. I was looking for a shredder that would do more than 6 sheets at a time and would cross cut. I love the safety feature and jam resistance that comes with this shredder as well as its size (not a much larger footprint than my old shredder). The casters are another nice feature. Thanks, Fellowes!

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.

We had a Fellowes shredder for 11 years, so obviously we replaced it with another Fellowes shredder. This one is so much more quiet compared to the last one. I really like the safety features and the sleek look. It definitely fits into our office aesthetics. It handles shred jobs just as it had claimed in the product details. I would definitely recommend this product for small offices.

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.

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!
