The Fellowes PS-79Ci is fast, efficient and powerful. We call it our R2D2. Perfect for a home office or personal home use. Was looking for a shredder that didn’t constantly jam and could shred and power-thru multiple sheets at a time. The PS-79Ci does the trick. Easy to assemble, plug-in and get started. Shredded my documents in no time. Fills up fast but easy to empty and get started again. Looking around the house for other things to shred. Its fun!

Our office has used the same shredder for about 5 years. The old one simply stopped working. (When you pressed the "on" button, nothing would happen.) The new one is quieter. It's been an excellent product for our office. Four stars instead of 5 because there's always room for improvement. (Why did the old one stop working? A shredder never seems to handle as many sheets as they claim.)

I had been through 3 shredders prior to this purchase - mostly your standard office shredder. After the third break down, I finally had it - I was determinined to find a decent shredder that was not too expensive. What a nice improvement - quiet, easy to use, easy to dump, and a wonderful machine that handles my whole office shredding need. I would recommend this shredder to anyone in need.

Honestly, purchasing a shredder wasn't exactly at the top of my list of fun things to do. But my receptionist "burnt" up the last shredder we had in the office so it had to be done. What a great purchase!! The indicator lights at the side show how many sheets of paper have been fed into the shredding teeth, a wonderful feature. And the motor just purrs as the papers are chewed up. I love this shredder.

This shredder is worth what the price said. I have never had a shredder that was quiet and not loud like the previous one that we purchased. I like that the "safe sense" lights up when you touch the plate. I like the basket that you can dump the shredded paper. I truly don't have to use the bags, it is just so easy just to take it to the trash box and empty it. This is the shredder of my life.

This shredder is perfect for your office! It is compact and it is so quiet. You do not need to worry if someone is on the telephone while you are shredding a document. Easy setup and clean-up. I would recommend this model to anyone who is looking for an office shredder. I am in an office of 80 people and it works perfectly for everyone.

The 79Ci supplied materials were incomplete. Four languages microprinted, but missing the absolutely necessary maintenance instructions- including oiling instructions. Very stupid oversight. Had to go online, download, and print. To me that equates to a ~$10 mistake for my time and effort. Solid performance but expensive realtive to a consumer purchase from China.

So far I am very pleased with this purchase. I bought my 79Ci about 2 months ago. It made it through my annual tax time cleanup where I shred 100's of papers (some with staples) at a time, without an issue. I am most impressed with how quiet it is compared to my old shredder. The sheet capacity is also impressive. This is a work horse for any home or small office. The basket helps a great deal minimizing the mess.

This shredder is so efficient and quiet. The whole building no longer has to hear when I shred documents. My only issue is that for as big as it is, it seems to want to be emptied earlier than even my small one does. That being said, it does tell you it is full, instead of jamming like my old one does. Would recommend it.

Only got my Fellowes 79Ci shredder yesterday - but had a big pile of documents awaiting it's delivery and set-up as my previous $40 +/- Ativa (sp??) shredder had gone up. Set-up was simple - aside from having a little trouble getting the casters to lock. Found the trick was to wiggle a little bit and then a quick, deliberate push (or wack)... Anyway - it went through the pile easily and quickly; filled the basket up twice. The capacity indicator is a great feature - really helped me to guage the # of sheets as I went. Can't tell you how much I appreciate a good quality shredder that can go through the volume of documents this one did yesterday with zero (0) hiccups. No way the cheap one I had previously would have accomplished that - even when it was operating at it's best. Well worth the money provided it lasts at least a few years.
