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.

This shredder is excellent! It is quiet, yet powerful, and does its job! Whether I am shredding one piece of paper, or 10, the PS-79Ci makes my day! And it fits very nicely under my desk where I can wheel it out when needed, and push it under when I don't! This shredder is a class act!

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.

I had been wanting to get a new shredder and finally purchased one before the end of the year. My old shredder cut in long strips and I was worried someone would be able to put documents back together. With my new shredder I don't have to worry anymore!

This is a great shredder if you need a compact one -- and one that moves easily on wheels without tipping -- mine rolls on a tightly woven rug with no problem. The auto paper thickness measurement works well and clearly warns if you've loaded in too much. It's reasonably quiet and can also chew up credit cards and CDRs, though I haven't tried that yet. Nice that it comes with applicator bottle of shredder oil. I never knew these things needed to have the cutters oiled to keep them functioning at top capacity -- that's obviously why my very old Fellows eventually died -- but it makes perfect sense given what these machines do.

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 a small Company, when I got here there were years of old paperwork that needed shredding and so far it's been great, no jamming, it has been as good as promised. I really appreciate the reviews because that's how I chose this shredder due to all the reviews. I read many many reviews of many shredders prior to choosing this one. Thanks everyone.

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!

I am now the proud owner of my 2nd Powershred 79Ci. The first one we have owned for approximately 7 years. It was getting a bit tired, but is now in my husbands shop for his use. The new one is in my office! YEAH. This product does everything it says it will do. I have shred everything from single sheets to credit cards, to CDs with no problem. My only con is the drawer is a bit tricky to lock into place. Other than that it is perfect in everyway. LOVE IT! The Fellowes company is wonderful at answering questions and giving support if needed. They will continue to have our business.

This is my 3rd and what I believe to be my last shredder purchase. I only gave 4 stars for Performance and Durability because I have not had it long (about 1 month). I don't see any reason for it not to be durable. This is the quietest shredder I have ever had. The baske capacity is very good. If you are looking for a 1 person shredder, I don't think you can go wrong.
