Great and safe shredder

PowerShred 79Ci is just what I needed...I have tried other brands and was disappointed! This shredder I can use without any problem and I have arthritis in hands and am over 70yrs old! My grandchildren like to help me shred and it safe for them too! So glad I found this shredder for all the papers I must shred like mine and my relatives personal papers! It really is the "World's Toughest Shredder"!

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.

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.

very satisfied

I am very satisfied with this purchase, but more than that, 1 store didn't have it in stock, and couldn't tell me when it would be avail;able. This store had it in stock, loaded it into my car and was extremely professional in all aspects of the purchase. I was told how to operate it, etc., etc.

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.

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.

NOT ALL ITS CRACKED UP TO BE

BOUGHT THIS TO USE IN A PHARMACY TO SHRED PRESCRIPTION LABELS WHICH HAVE THE STICKY BACKS AND THEY CONTINUE TO JAM UP AND GUM UP THE MACHINE. I HAVE TRYED RUNNING THE OIL SHEETS THROUGH MORE FREQUENTLY BUT STILL HAVE JAMING PROBLEMS. WORKS GREAT ON PLAIN PAPER .

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.

Great Shredder

Our school purchased this shredder for our front office use. We love everything about it. It is quiet, we can roll it around the office, shredds very fast. It is a perfect fit. Will definately purchase another Fellowes shredder in the future for other offices.

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.
