Sorry. I would not recommend this model. I am very disappointed in this new shredder. It has a difficult time shredding 6-7 papers at a time. Forget putting a credit card through it. This is absolutely not the shredder for an even semi-busy office. However it may be useful for home shredding daily junk mail two or three sheets at a time.

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.

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.

Fellowes makes a great shredder. I purchased the powershred 79Ci and I'm very satisfied with my choice. It is the quietest shredder I have ever owned. Powerful enough to shred 16 sheets at once. I like the safety features which protects you from injuries. It is compact and durable. The Jam Resistant feature was a big consideration in making this purchase. For the price it offers a lot.

This shredder was purchased to replace a fairly new non-Fellowes product that was a constant headache to use. I had owned a Fellowes in the past in a different location and remembered how well it had done the job for me. I purchased another one and have not been disappointed. My PS79Ci runs quietly, smoothly and the jam proof feature works well.

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!

Just replaced our Fellowes shredder with another new Fellowes shredder after using every day in my office for over 9 years. The other MAIN reason we buy Fellowes shredders is the fact it has the safety if anyone (small children or out pets or others with long hair, etc.) stops in and should accidentally go near this shredder it immediately stops. This should be a law that all shredders have this. I saw a video years ago when a dog got his tongue caught in a shredder and I never got over that site. Thank god not our dogs but regardless the thought that it can happen is more than enough reason to purchase only a shredder that has this safety feature. The replacement unit seems slightly upgraded with a timer that shuts the unit off if not in use a while and starts right back up if you insert a paper to shred (leaving that safety factor still in tack). The shredder is definitely a winner for all the above reasons

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.

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.

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.
