This was a replacement for a different brand. So far, I'm thoroughly impressed. The shredder is quiet and fast. It easily has shredded a large stack of documents I hadn't attempted to shred with my previous machine because it would have taken too long and jammed at least once. I've not rated durability higher because the machine is new - I'm hopeful that, over time, I'll be as pleased with that aspect as the others.

This replaced a smaller, very loud model. We are quite impressed with how it handles so many sheets without jamming and the card slot it has for getting rid of those bothersome credit cards automatically sent in the mail! The performance is very quiet and has yet to let us down.

Only giving 2 stars to Overall Rating due to the poor security due to the size of the shreds of paper. Very poor security for this shredder. If you have paper printed in landscape mode, you can have an "entire" Tax I.D. number, etc. on a piece of shredded paper. The strips are too long. The purpose of shredding is to destroy any information on a piece of paper and this shredder does not do it. It is sturdy, handles lots of paper and is fast. Like the fact it will stop if taking too much paper. However, after 2 months, I am already looking for another shredder due to the poor security of the shredded pages.

There are shredders and, then, there are shredders. This is THE SHREDDER, the best thing I've purchased in years! Life is great now that I don't spend hours a week unjamming my shredder. I love everything about this shredder: ease of use, speed, safety features, quiet operation, portability and jam resistance. Shredding is fun and life is great! And, this is the ONE!!!

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.

Purchased the PS-79Ci to rplace an older model that overheated too often. This new machine seems to run forever B4 overheating. My older machine was a strip cut and this new model reduces the paper to a much smaller size and is easier to bag. So far, Great Machine! My only complaint is the size of the waste container and the height of the shredder. Make it taller!

My previous non-Fellowes shredder was nothing but frustration with constant jamming, My 79Ci is fantastic quickly shredding papers and the 14 page limit is high enough so that I don't have to split most of what I shred. My only complaint is that I thought the casters were hard to press in. I want to send one to my mother but I don't think she is strong enough to press them in to where they are properly seated.

I purchased this shredder after reading more reviews than I care to remember. The positive reviews were right on target. I am extremely pleased with the purchase. The 79Ci does everything as advertised. It is very quiet, refuses to jam, and shreds just about anything. I highly recommend this shredder to anyone in the market for a quality home shredder. It is absolutely worth the money!

I have owned about 6 shredders in the last 5 years. The PS-79ci I have had for over a year of that. That alone should tell you how good it is. I have not had one single problem from this shredder and would recommend it to everyone. I would also like to share a piece of advise for future shredder owners. Do not shred sticky notes. They stick to the teeth and mess things up.

This is our second unit. I apparently liked it enough to buy another one, but I was able to 'break' the first unit after a couple of years of use by simply turning it over accidentally. After this incident, the shredding gears would no longer turn and the unit would hum and quickly overheat while trying. It is solid, however, churning through whatever I'd throw at it without incident. My only real gripe with the unit is waste disposal. I do wish the bin were better designed to capture and easily dispose of without spilling any scraps.
