This shredder has met all my expectation and more. Its efficiency and low noise level when in operation is excellent and a pleasure to use. The design of the cabinet and the paper feed shows that your engineering and design department is "on-the-ball." I am certain that it will give many years of trouble free service. RHB

I just got this shredder from my wife today. i use the 79C1 cross cut shredder at work and i kept telling her we should get one for our own personal use. she ordered one and i put it together but the only thing wrong with it that one of the casters was the wrong type , it was a screw on instead of a snap on so it dose not even fit. i am looking on the web site to try to order one but i can not find it on the site. other than that small miner mishap i still recommend this shredder. If anyone knows where i can get the replacement caster pls leave me a comment, thank you

We purchased two shredders. One arrived and didn't work properly but we contacted the company and they are sending a replacement. THE SECOND MACHINE WORKS GREAT. Everyone in the office has been very pleased. It is quiet which pleases the boss in the office. Our previous machine made too much noise and got on her nerves. It handles many papers and won't let you put in too many. Others in the building now want their own shredder.

Great product for doing everyday or occassional shredding. Design is very nice, but the pullout holding bin could be larger. If you do a large amount of shredding there will be lots of emptying. This product was decent in price, but from past experience the product holds up very well, so the money will be well worth it. Hope it lasts as long as my last shredder, a Boston strip shredder almost 10 years old. The Name, styling, features, operation & warranty are all GREAT attributes of this product. WORTH THE MONEY FOR SURE.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Happy with the safety features for this shredder, I don't have to worry about one of my kids (3 under 3) messing with it. It's also very quiet and we can now shred at night without worrying about waking up half the house. I haven't shredded a ton of items, but definitely looking forward to never dealing with paper jams again.

Was tired of replacing my shredder in my home office every year and decided on this model after reading the reviews. Unit is very durable and I think this might be a keeper. It works really well and is very safe. Few things could be better- gets hot and shuts down after about a half hour of heavy shredding but cools down in about 15 minutes- also, it is really messing dumping the unit as the bag gets stuck in the pail and rips. It has a front draw to get the pail out(one of the reasons i bought this model)however getting the bag out causes some problems- all in all I like this unit.

Once a year, I shred a tremendous amount and burned up my shredder. I decided to spend much more hoping not to be so frustrated. I could not believe how quiet this is, and find it actually shreds the advertised amount of sheets and can do so more than 2 or 3 times without bogging down or lighting up as overheated--not so for the other shredders I have had. I have allergies, and the others produced a lot of dust. This one does not.

I upgraded from a Fellows shreader purchased about 10 years ago and what a work horse. Easily shreads 10 pages no trouble. Credit cards and staples just vanish into waste. I like the light feature showing you how much of a load the shreader can handle before stopping and doing damage to the motor or gears. I would reccomend this shreader to anyone that needs to trash personal imformation. A very safe piece of equipment for home or office use. NO HOME SHOULD BE WITHOUT ONE OF THESE!!!

i've had it for about two weeks now and have learned that this is one rugged, productive shredder. i have pushed it to its published limits and it has performed. as you can imagine, there is an inclination to attack lots of paper waste that has accrued - i've just finished shredding about 15 years of reports on heavyweight paper - a stack about 10" tall. the shredder didn't balk, but promptly produced several baskets of high-security waste. i'm using it at home, but i can see how it makes an ideal deskside machine. the basket does have a lot of static cling (dry house) - i'll spray it with a release agent. highly recommend!

I have owned several personal shredders and none of the previous ones hold a cancle to this one. It cost me a little more, but is certainly money well spent. When they say it is jam-proof, that is the truth. The display panel and lights on top of the unit won't allow you to jam it if you are paying any attention to what you are doing. You don't need to guess about anything when using it.
