First impressions lead me to give this a 5 star rating. It appears to be a solid performer & I was surprised at how quiet it was. What was important to me during the selection period was that I would be able to empty the bin effortlessly. The 6 gallon pull out bin is great. A bit on the pricey side but well worth it if it lives up to it's jam proof claim.

I purchased this shredder for my office as a replacement for one that no longer worked (other brand). This Fellowes shredder is already so much better than my previous shredder. I have had it for a month and have had no problems. I love the indicators on the top that show when the basket is full, etc. Between work and home, I have owned several shredders and this one is one of the best for so many reasons. I would definitely recommend this product to others.

bought this to replace a similar shredder from another manufacturer. so far this machine has worked extremely well and has given me and my staff little trouble. I wish the bin were a little larger , but then I guess it would have taken more space that we don't have in this small office.

Replaces a ten year old Xerox Cross-Cut Shredder. It is remarkably quiet compared to the old one and so far has not hesitated to shred what I've put in. The jam proof feature actually refuses to begin the shredding process if you give more than the designed amount of paper. This limit is based on thickness of the stack so it really depends on the "weight" of the paper and not the number of sheets. If it last as long as the old one, then it's really quite a bargain.

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.

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.

This shredder replaced an older different brand that I had for home use, the Fellows model is slightly larger but it is much better. It is definitely much quieter than other brands I have looked at. The pull-out bin makes emptying the shredded documents easy and fast. It also allows for more pages to be shredded at once - speeding up the shredding process. I feel this would even work for a regular personal office shredder - not at home. With the color lights on the right side it quickly indicates to you if you are trying to shred too much at once.

This is by far the best shredder i have used. It takes the paper staples included and does a great job if it cannot handle what you give it it stops and you just make the necessary adjustments. When the basket is full it lets you know so there's no mess. Excellent machine perfect for medium sized jobs.

I bought this shredder after owning a previous shredder made by Fellowes. That shredder was very loud and apt to jam at times. That's what finally made the previous shredder quit--too many jams. So I opted for this more expensive shredder hoping this will last much longer. I am happy so far with its very quiet operation. I hope the price I paid is reflected in its durability.

This is my third paper shredder, all of them Fellowes. This last purchase is much better than the others. I like the way the paper goes in, the safety feature and especially the thickness meter to prevent jams. The ease in empting the basket is also a plus.
