I am a police officer assigned to a school district. A lot of the information I deal with is confidential under state and federal laws. This piece of equipment allows me to make sure no confidential information leaves my office. Great machine, works well.

This machine is a very well built unit........feels heavy duty and the reason I purchased it was for the shredding capacity as well as the price point. This was a refurbished machine. I did spend more than I wanted, however, I knew the Fellowes name is quality and was willing to spend more for the longevity.

Ho Hum, a paper shredder. Well, the old 8 sheet Xerox kept jamming, so it was time for an upgrade for this home office. And wow - I went thru a huge pile of paper that had built up waiting to be shredded - in no time at all - it humms, crunches, never jams. No need to count pages to be sure not to overfeed it like with the old one. Weird to say, but what had been drudgery suddenly became, well, almost fun. What seemed to take the most time was no longer the shredding itself but emptying the bin into plastic grocery bags (then I discovered the plastic bags that came with it...).

I have had my shredder only a few weeks, but so far it has performed extremely well. I am using the shredder to shred some old bills and bank statements(I didn't want to just put them in=the trash for obvious reasons). The machine is handling the envelopes with the bills inside with ease and doing extremely quietly. I am very happy with the performance of the shredder overall. I called Customer Service once to ask further instructions for oiling the machine and the nice young lady I spoke with was very cordial and very helpful with all my questions.

I believe in security and have been shredding my personal information at home for many years. I purchased the Fellowes PS-79ci to replace another brand. I'm hoping that this machines lasts longer than the previous machine. The Fellowes PS-79ci is quieter, but the basket is smaller than the previous, but so far I'm happy with my purchase.

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.

We were needing to replace our shredder in the office, so my husband started researching new ones. We ordered this Fellowes shredder because we'd been happy with our first one. This new shredder is MUCH quieter than our first, works like a champ, and is easy to empty. We would definitely recommend it to others looking for a great shredder!

My company purchased the Powershred® 79Ci 100% Jam Proof Cross-Cut Shredder after much deliberation; this was the first replacement in I don't know how many eon years!!! Being skeptical and thinking we will see...now we have had this shredder for quite a few months and so far it has proved us wrong...about the only complaint and is not because any fault of its own...is an issue with the cleaning crew who keep leaving the bin disengaged every-time they empty it out...but thus far, this shredder is everything it claims, quiet, efficient, and jam resistant.

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.

i love this product and it helped me out with about 100 pounds of paper i needed to shred (no joke), but this product had some downfalls it would overheat because the vents where inside near the baggage area. also it would fill rather quick, and it would be hard to put back in because the runners it went on where difficult to wrangle. but it did its job nicely and quickly and i would recommend this product to other people. the thing i would recommend to the fellows staff would be that they should design a more versatile printer that is able to be moved around and can shred without the need for a basket below. like for instance if i wanted to shred over a trashcan for a quicker more efficient job they should design a shredder that can do that or make a mount for trashcans. i feel that this accurately describes this printer. not many pro's were not mentioned for the star review i gave it but it is a very good printer and it should not be overlooked the next time you want to buy one.
