I PURCHASED AN SB-89C1 SHREDDER TO REPLACE OUR OTHER FELLOW SHREDDER,WHICH LASTED FOR YEAR'S.I'M VERY PLEASED WITH OUR NEW FELLOW'S SHREDDER.IT HOLDS ALOT MORE PAPER,CUTS UP CREDIT CARDS,LARGE AMOUNT OF PAPER AT ONE TIME,AMONG OTHER THINGS.I'M VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE WAY IT SHREDS THE PAPER.IT WOULD BE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO RETRIEVE STATEMENT ACCOUNT NUMBERS.THE "FELLOW'S" SHREDDER IS VERY STYLISH IN OUR OFFICE AT HOME.I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SHREDDER FOR HOME,OFFICE,SCHOOLS OR ANY PLACE WHERE YOU NEED TO SHRED STATEMENTS,DOCUMENTS,CREDIT CARDS,DISK'S,ECT.

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.

Works well. Does not jam or is easily "unjammed" by reversing. Doesn't really eat up "heavier" paper products, as you may need to clear the shredded strands or the "bin full" light will go on. Still, the machine does it's job. Would not recommend for a multi-person environment. Spend the money and get a larger capacity shredder, if more than one user.

I just got this today and I am already thrilled. 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.

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!!!

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.

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.

While I have had this product for a short while, it handled all I fed it and indicated when I tried to put more than I should have so I didn't cause any problems. If this machine continues to do as it has it will have earned the rating I gave it and more.

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.

The first thing you notice is the quiteness. The paper guide quickly tells you how many sheets yu are entering.The safety signal keeps the operator alert. I appreciated the collection bags which eliminates the lifting of the collection basket to empty into another bag. My purchase was an excellent choice.
