Great Shredder

This shredder is quiet, powerful, and creates very small particles. It's a great deal for the price. We use it daily, but have only had it a month, so its durability is yet to be determined. It's attractive and was easy to set up and operate. The only minor issue is that paper sometimes flops over as it's feeding in and triggers the safety mechanism, stopping the shredder. It doesn't happen often, so it's not bothersome.

Excellent shredder

This seems to be an excellent shredder and I am very pleased with it. I chose it because I have a Fellowes at home and never had a problem with it. The one at home never jammed and I did alot of shredding. This one seems to be an even better quaility if that is possible. It is very quiet and clean. I am quite pleased! Thank you Fellowes

Never buy fellowes again

From the first day of use, I have hated this shredder. I still have the fellowes shredder that I purchased 15 years ago, and it works circles around this piece of junk. This is the messiest shredder that I have ever worked with. Never again will I purchase a shredder from fellowes.

Happy with purchase

Decided to go with a better name brand and happy I did! love the features on this product especially the power saver. Caught up with all our shredding with no problems. Love the fact I was given instructions on how to oil the product with a small bottle included.

So Happy!

I just got this today and I am already thrilled. I went thru a huge stack of shredding in less than 10 minutes with only one mishap, but that was me trying to test the limits. It handled it beautifully. So quiet compared to my old one. My old one kept overheating and could only handle a few pages at a time. It took me up to an hour for the same size stack of paper. So, I am thrilled to have made this purchase. Just wish I could figure out how to put the casters on! Hopefully, there is something on line to help.

Great shredder

Nice styling and color. Shreds 16 pieces of paper with ease. I even tried 20/22 sheets of paper and the machines jamb proof system indicated I was shredding too many papers but still shredded them. The machine is so quite that I shredded papers at 1:00 AM and my wife did not hear the machine(and she is a very light sleeper). The bin is very easy to remove and empty and re-install. The safesense operation of the machine actually works. I tried that operation several times and the safesense worked every time. Another plus for the shredder are the casters.

PS-79ci

After purchasing the Fellowes PS-79ci, I do like the performance BUT the power light is to BRIGHT. Also you need to push the paper in quite a way before it starts to shred, once the paper is in there it will shed it with ease. those are my only to minor gripes with this unit. The unit is quite when shredding.

Say goodbye to junk mail

My prior shredder jammed and then completely stopped working so I needed a new one. One thing I do not like is junk mail. With my old shredder, I had to open every piece of mail, junk mail included, and then feed no more than 6 sheets in it at a time. Shredding took a long time and was a chore that no one wanted to do. Researching the various shredders on the market, I found the 79Ci and, based on other reviews and its specifications, I purchased it. Just received it and started shredding 'unopened' mail and this shredder handled it with ease! The 79Ci is quiet when shredding and has a gauge on the right side that indicates how close you are getting to its maximum number of pages it can shred. Very handy to know. I am just very pleased that I can just shred the mail while it is still in the envelopes. Thank you!!!

Third Fellowes

Have had two previous Fellowes Shredders: Both were quiet, strong, and capable. Tried a "store brand" before this purchase due to price and mocro-cut capabiliity. Had it home one day and returned it due to poor construction and extremely noisy operation. Fellowes is far better for quality construction and quiet operation. I would, however, prefer a Fellowes micro-cut in a more affordable price range for home office.
