Having owned at least 3 shredders and never been satisfied with them, I am extremely pleased to finally have found a well made shredder that is capable of a large amount of paper feeds at one time w/o having it jam. The shred time before it needs to cool down is more than adequate. I had a multitude of documents to shred dating from 2008 onward and this shredder greatly facilitated the job unlike no other shredder I have owned or currently own as I was using both shredders to do the job. Too much jamming and need for cool down with my other one.

I have been using this model for over a year in a consulting room where parent let their young children roam freely and touch everything at their height. I have seen the Safe Sense monitor cut in every time a toddler touches the cassette and feeder, and I have never seen it move a micron even if little fingers go near the feeder. My only bugbear is that an anatomical model fell onto the paper guide and broke it - the shredder still works fine but I have had to araldite the guide back together several time - this item needs to be beefed up or else a spare included.

Our old Fellowes shredder finally gave out, after well over 5 years of service. After handling several estates and all the paper shredding that entails, we knew we wanted a sturdy, dependable, non-jamming and quiet new shredder. Quality and value were important to both my husband and me. We knew we wanted to choose another Fellowes brand shredder, since our old one was a workhorse. After checking several retail websites and reading many online reviews, we decided the 73ci model had what we wanted. Fortunately, that model was on sale at the local office supply store, and they were happy to match the price of a local competitor. We got the new 'fellowe' home, plugged it in, and got to shredding. Setup was simple, and we were shredding in minutes. We were immediately impressed by the quietness during its operation, as well as the safety features on this model. It's funny how excited a couple can get by buying a new, quality shredder for a reasonable price!!! We expect to get many years of service out of this fellowe, and value the 2 year manufacturer's warranty, too. Great choice for home use (or small office) if you shred almost daily and need a durable model. We would have selected a light beige color if offered (shows less dust we are sure!), but the black is okay. The design is sleek, too. You can feel confident making this selection and we will recommend this model to others. The bulldog image shown on the box aptly described the 73ci !!!

The Fellowes 79Ci shredder is new to me but I had a backlog to shred. It handled paper, envelopes, credit card fed gently for 20 minutes. I was quite pleased. And it rolls so I can store it and roll it out to shred.. Very convenient! Only issue is the plastic piece over the credit card shredding opening is stuck in place and I had. to use the paper entry instead of the credit card entry to shred the credit cards. Otherwise, I'm very pleased with this purchase. Also, it was easy to assemble and instructions were clear.

We purchased this shredder to replace our former worn-out shredder. We love it. It is very quiet. It delivers excellent shredding of the papers and cards we have done. We have a shared office space and use of this shredder. We bought it for the 100% Jam proof features and it has done just that. We have no problems. It is very easy to tell when it is on. We also like the fact that there is a window to let us know when it is full and the pull-out drawer for the shredded pieces just pulls out to dump. Thank you for making such a excellent shredder.

I have purchase several shredders over the last 20 years. Most were inexpensive models that fit over a trash can. I burned most of them out after attempting to shred years of accumulated files. I realize the importance of data security and I decided to buy a new shredder. This model is great! It does exactly what it says it will do. I work on sensitive client files. I destroy draft reports immediately now instead of creating a shred pile in a box. The unit is fast and very quiet. I can almost get away with using it at night!

I've had the shredder for about 6 months, and it has performed well. I try not to use it continuously to avoid overheating. The bin fills up rather quickly with the many loose shreds, but one can tamp down the contents or dump them without much trouble. One has to be careful not to put too many sheets at a time in the machine, but given that, it has been working flawlessly.

I could never get the wheels to stay on the machine. The pictoral directions for inserting are simple but the wheels did not stay on the machine. They are very flimsy with poor construction. I do not use the wheels with my shredder so it is not flexible enough to move around in my room.

This schredder is great! It can handle heavy shredding loads without jamming and it is easy to empty through the front pull-out bin. I also like the built in safety features that prevent children or animals from getting into the shredding wheels. This is an excellent product and I would recommend it to anyone. Tom R,

We are now using a shredder in our office since the recycling service has ended. Haven't much opportunity to use this machine much yet, but is much better in performance, features and silent operation than the little shredder we did have for a few days. Looking forward to a long life of use.
