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 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.

My Fellowes PS-79Ci has turned out to be the best shredder that I have owned. It truly performs like the Bulldog on the Fellowes logo. It is compact and rugged! I particularly like the "Safety Sense Technology" since my grandchildren frequently visit my office. This is the beginning of a wonderful relationship. I highly recommend this product.

When I accidentally overloaded my previous 12 year old Fellowes there was no question what brand of shredder would be the successor. The only problem was which model? After a short tour of a local office supply store I settled on the PS-79Ci After just a few days I'm so happy I selected what I did. I didn't know shredders could be so quiet while doing such a thorough job through so much accumulated waste. I don't know how I survived just a few days without my shredder.

This is one of the few items I have bought in the last 10 years that does exactly what it's supposed to do. We had to shred all the legal papers of a relative that passed away let me tell you it did that so easy and so quickly it was unbelievable. If you're looking for a great Shredder that is easy to use with no hassles check this one out this is the one

I am so glad I purchased this shredder because it has solved all my problems when it comes to saving time in shredding important documents that are paper cliiped and stapled. It use to take me an hour to just get rid of the staples and paper clips. Now I don't have to worry about that. I also love the fact that it shreds CDs and credit cards with no hassles.

I have owned a number of shredders previous to this one. Never fully appreciated how noisy they were until I tried the Fellows PS 79Ci. Its quiet operation allows one to be shredding and still hear the radio in our home office. Solidly constructed, with good capacity that doesn't require frequent emptying this was a great addition to our home office environment.

I love my new Fellowes 79Ci. It is a replacement for a less-than-two-year-old Royal shredder that stopped working; it was of similar size and shredding capacity to the 79Ci. As to the reviews I read before purchasing this shredder: (1) Some reviewers had trouble getting the casters in. I had very little difficulty; with just a little wiggling of the caster, it slipped right in. (2) Reviewers complained about the bin not shutting if it is partially full with shredded paper. The bin shuts solidly even if mostly full. Just push it in at the middle of the drawer--down about 4-5" from the hand-hold. (3) Then there were complaints about having to open the bin periodically to push the shredded paper down. Yes, I do have to open the bin and mash the shredded paper down fairly often. However, it is less often than with the Royal shredder I had and the 79Ci stops taking the paper when the bin is showing full and needs to have the paper pushed down. The Royal kept taking the paper and then it jammed, requiring a lengthy process of removing the pieces of paper that were stuck in the shredder blades. I'm very glad I ordered this shredder.

I purchase this machine just for my home to shred junk mail, but as it turned out I changed jobs and needed to destroy reams of paper work. needless to say I put the 79Ci through its paces. all the proclaimed features worked great, especially the jam proof & temp sensor. I am very satisfied with this purchase.

Overall this is a very good shredder for the price. I've only used it for a month, but so far it has not jammed - it even shreds credit cards and CD/DVD's! I really like the safety features too. My only complaint is that for single or really thin sheets of paper you have to really push it down into the shredder so that the sensor can activate the shredder. Other than that, a good value purchase for the money - 4.5 out of 5 stars.
