Awesome Shredder PS-79Ci

There is nothing you can tell me about Fellowes products. I have been happy with everything I have purchased over the last several years. We used a Fellowes shredder at work, and when I retired, I purchased one of my own. We never had a moment's problem with the one at work, and I knew I would be happy with my own. I recently cleaned out all my old files and filled several large bags of old bills, letters, etc., and my shredder handled it just like a more larger or expensive machine. I love this shredder, and by the way, it shreds old credit cards and disks with no problem.

Great Cross-Cut Shredder

Wow. This shredder is so much quieter than our old Fellowes. It easily shredded a 2 inch stack of papers in just a few minutes. I hope it lasts as long as our old one. We have had it 12 years and its still going strong, we just grew and needed a shredder that could handle more volume. :)

Love this Shredder

This shredder is really quiet - compared to my old one, it runs beautifully. The gauge on the side is great to let you know if you're trying to stuff too much in it - it kind of gives you the EYE! I do quite a bit of shredding & my time spend is minimal now. The pull out bucket in the front is very convenient & the window lets you know when to dump. Let me just say "Shredding has never been as much Fun"

Love My Fellowe's Shredder

I had my last Fellowe's Shredder for many years, and it was wonderful. It finally died, so I knew I needed another Fellowe's. This one has wheels and a few other new features that my oldie didn't have. It is quiet and has safety features that will make me feel safer with my cats around.

PS 79Ci

It seems to work generally as marketed. However, we have had a problem with the machine over heating and shutting itself down if we need to spend more than 5-10 minutes shredding documents. Obviously, the closer to the maximum sheets allowed the hotter its going to get, but I expected a little more from a machine that I thought was rated as heavy duty.

Right for the job.

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.

effective and rugged

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.

Nice and durable

Just received and worked on the first try. Easy to put together. I recommend putting the casters on for easy mobility. The safety features are excellent. Came with the oil and a few sample bags. Tested well on the first try. It wasn't any louder than the last shredder we had for years. Seems good but just received it. It is sleek and looks great in the workplace. It does take 16 sheets of 20# bond paper. Like the pull out waste container, less mess than a device where you have to pull up on the shred mechanism to remove the waste. So far, good to use.

Great Shredder

We've only had this new shredder for a few days, but it works perfectly. Our previous shredder jammed all the time, and just quit working after about a year of using it. This product has not jammed yet, is easy to use, and has a fair warranty (unlike our old machine).

PS79-Ci works well in consulting rooms

I have been using this model for over a year in a consulting room where parent let their young children roam freely and touch everything at their height. I have seen the Safe Sense monitor cut in every time a toddler touches the cassette and feeder, and I have never seen it move a micron even if little fingers go near the feeder. My only bugbear is that an anatomical model fell onto the paper guide and broke it - the shredder still works fine but I have had to araldite the guide back together several time - this item needs to be beefed up or else a spare included.
