We replaced the previous shredder in our two person law office with the PS 79 c, and it was a significant upgrade...so much more quiet (with a deeper less annoying sound) it does handle all 12 sheets as advertised, and it is a very solid piece of machinery, very comforting to know that a small staple might slip in and not destry the shredder...only negative aspect is that it is difficult to unload the shredded paper; tried it with the bag (which took some extra time to secure) and without the bag, and ended up with lots of paper on the floor, just a comment, overall, really a good value for the price, and has made office life better.

I like to make a purchase and be done with it. I want the product to last for several years after the purchase. A Fellowes shredder does the job, does the job well and it keeps on going and going and going...just give a little oil and that is all it requires. Thanks for a great shredder!

Compared to anything else I have stuck things in to shred this by far has been the best machine for the money. My brother-in-law recommended Fellowes to me, so I did a little research and found out that this company out of anyone I have heard of tops all makes and models of shredders, Hands down! The set up of this machine was so easy and simple to use.

I purchased this machine for shredding paper to use as bedding in a llama operation. It is very time consuming to use this machine. After about 4 bins of shredded paper, I have to wait for it to cool down. I shred paper every 2 weeks, and it takes me a good 3 days to get the volume I need shredded. Not what I was hoping for or wanting. For a "desk job" person, this machine would be great for anyone wanting to have a machine that can produce volume of shredded paper, this is not it. It was probably my fault, I should have spent mega bucks and bought a large commercial shredded in the beginning, but this machine said commercial use. My bad and their bad - not enough information for my needs. Now, I have to spend mega bucks to get what I want and need.

Did not like the rollers that came with this. Found out I had to "hammer" them in, which was not in the instructions. Took numerous times to do this before they would stay in. This is my 3rd Fellowes shredder so I hope this one holds up as well as the others.

This shredders' performance is outstanding. I and other family members use it on a daily basis. With proper,simple maintenance instructions to follow, this shredder is functioning at optimal levels. The most important features I look for in a shredder is safesense technology and jam proof systems. I have no regrets for purchasing this shredder.

I purchased 2 of these; one for our library branch and one for another of our branches. The main reason for purchasing this particular model was the decibel level. Being that we are public libraries we need them to be as quiet as possible. My expectations were exceeded. The noise level is very minimal and hasn't jammed.

This is the second Fellowes shredder that I have purchased for the office. This Fellowes shredder bags do not fit nicely in the receptacle. You have to really fight it to get the plastic liner bag to fit inside. The receptacle for catching shredded paper doesn't seem to work very well as it fills up very quickly again I think it is a poor design. I did just minimal shredding and I had to open the door and push the shredded paper down before I could continue. Not thrilled with this unit.

Our shredder was delivered on May 13, 2010 and now, three years later, we are still singing its praises. We have never had an issue with it--its performance has been flawless. When our Albany office needed a new shredder a year or two ago, we recommended they get a Fellowes because we have been so pleased (particularly with the speed and relative lack of noise). I wish I could write a review like this for ALL of our office equipment!

I have been using this shredder for over 2 months and like it a lot. The shredder is fast, powerful, and very convenient to use. It can handle up to 12 sheets of paper without any problems. The motor is powerful and does not get hot or stall out. Overall, a great purchase.
