This was a Christmas present and the best one I got. Having had a stroke, it is difficult for me to do things with one hand. The shredder is so easy to use I can insert my papers and it practically works on its own - very quiet, very easy to use, and well worth the money. Should go a long way to prevent identity theft. Thank you for a quality product. This is my third shredder and by far the best one.

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.

I purchased this shredder because I got tired of how my previous Insignia shredder would jam even when trying to shred less than it was rated for. The Fellowes 79Ci is much more powerful than my previous shredder and will even tell me if I am trying shred too much at once before it has a chance to jam It can also stop and back up really thick stuff automatically to continue shredding without me having to do a thing. Overall I am happy with this shredder. The only two items I would improve is the bin needs to be a little bigger and the automatic sleep mode is a little confusing. These aren't issues really but just a couple of improvements for future versions.

I am impressed with the quality of this product and the extra features that are included for the price. It detects the number of pages being inserted with a scale of lights from green to red to let you know if you are inserting too many pages. There is a safety light and a light to let you know when the basket is full. It has had no problems shredding CD, credit cards and papers with staples and is very quiet also. Makes the chore of shredding much easier and faster when there is no constant jamming like with other less expensive shredders.

I purchased a new Fellowes shredder, because the older Fellowes model that served me well over the past 10+ years needed retiring. I never considered another brand other than Fellowes, because not only did I have a reliable home shredder, but also at various financial offices I've worked in used Fellowes shredders. Their reliability and durability for home and small businesses is unsurpassed as far as I'm concerned. I would definitely recommend Fellowes and this particular model, PS-79Ci, for home or small office use. I researched various Fellowes shredder models, and the PS-79Ci came out on top. One important note that most users ignore is oil the machine as often as directed—this shredder will last a long time if the simple maintenance procedures are followed.

The Powershred 79Ci's sleek design adds a touch of class to our office. The credit card, CD disc and staple shredding capabilities are enormous key features. The Jam Proof indicator is extremely helpful in eliminating any question of feeding to many sheets at one time. The added castors make it easy to move around for others to share. I know I will be ordering another Fellowes Powershred for my home and my husband's business.

I just recently purchased Powershred 79Ci. It was so easy to assemble right out of the box. Just took a few minutes and I was ready to shred. So quiet compared to the one I replaced. Love the size of it. Does not take up much room and can easily slide under my desk. I also like the fact that I don’t have to worry if a staple or a paper clip goes thru and that I can shred up all that junk mail. You won’t be disappointed. It is a great shredder.

I researched shredders until I was bleary eyed. After watching a video of the 79Ci I decided to order it the other night around midnight. Well, Sam's delivered it faster than stated or expected. Ordered Wednesday night and it was here on Friday. Simple unpack and install. Nice. Comes with bags and oil. having had two fellowes 80's before where the separators broke rendering the shredders useless, the separators on the 79Ci are new material and beefier. It's quiet, smooth, takes large numbers of pages. So far so good. I'm not anticipating any issues. And the Sam's price was better than any other on the Net. Only issue is bin is kind of small even though the say it's 5 gallons.

This Fellowes shredder appears to have a stronger cutter motor than the HSM shredder it replaced. This shredder has all the bells and whistles that one could ask for in a desk side shredder. It also has a convenient waste bin that is easy to pull out so that it can be emptied without having to worry about getting paper shredding everywhere. Thanks Fellowes for making such a reliable and convenient shredder.

Hands down the best shredder I've ever owned. The last one broke on me within a week. I had two large trash bags of personal information that I need to get rid of and the 79Ci went through it all in a few hours without a hitch! Only thing I really wish it had would have been an auto feeder but really was a value.
