Our new shredder has been a Godsend. We have already filled three contractor size bags full of old documents. It is compact but packs a powerful punch and is a very quiet shredder. We feel so much more at ease knowing that our personal information is properly shredded and disposed of with our new in home shredder. We really appreciate the safety and power saving features included with this model. Very glad we chose it!

The instructions were some of the worst I've ever seen. No help with putting on casters. They don't screw in; you can't beat 'em in place with a hammer. They don't tell you they have to be in a certain position to go in. Also, there are no directions for putting trash bag in bin. We had it under the lid, but bin won't open if it's like that. Just a little help would've been nice! As for the shredder itself, the bin is kinda floppy and is hard to lock in place, but it's very quiet and powerful.

Yeah baby!.......... Just got my Fellowes Powershred 79Ci Cross-Cut Refurbished Shredder! And it`s just so simple to setup! Ultra quiet silent Shred Performance! Powerful 16 sheets cross-cut into approximately 397 particles per sheet! plus also shreds staples, credit cards, paper clips, CDs/DVDs and junk mail. With added advanced safety features and energy efficient!..........

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,

The machine works great at shredding, but it takes me over 20 minutes to clean up from emptying the bin. This is because as you remove the plastic bag full of the shredded material it catches on the hooks on the back side and the shredded pieces start falling out.

I recently replaced my old Fellowes shredder with the slightly more expensive PS-79Ci model. I wanted a shredder that could handle more paper and would not jam. Since using this new model, I have been totally impressed with the power that it has and the quiet operation. I'm still waiting for a jam to occur and it seems like I will wait a long time!

This is number 4 and the only one that has been trouble free. I had gotten so tired of all the same problems with the other shredders. The 79C has none of them. I love the dial and other warning features. You will be very happy if you purchase this one, you will love the basket with the "plastic" bag, makes emptying so much easier and cleaner. The wheels are wonderful too as I am a little tight for room and I have to move it to access some of my desk drawers. Before I had to carry it away, now I roll it a foot or so away an d then right back.

Just received and worked on the first try. Easy to put together. I recommend putting the casters on for easy mobility. The safety features are excellent. Came with the oil and a few sample bags. Tested well on the first try. It wasn't any louder than the last shredder we had for years. Seems good but just received it. It is sleek and looks great in the workplace. It does take 16 sheets of 20# bond paper. Like the pull out waste container, less mess than a device where you have to pull up on the shred mechanism to remove the waste. So far, good to use.

I have had two shredders .One was a Crocodile that lasted 25 yrs. Company went out of business Next a different model lasted 5 yrs. went to buy another one same as before ,returned it after three weeks .Decided on a Fellows 79Ci, Nice and sturdy,Quiet, Safety. All though I have had it only a few days this seems like a winner. This is for my personal use but still I want one that functions well. So many of them are just junk. Glad I found Fellows a friend has used your shredders for years .And recommended it to me.

Our office has used the same shredder for about 5 years. The old one simply stopped working. (When you pressed the "on" button, nothing would happen.) The new one is quieter. It's been an excellent product for our office. Four stars instead of 5 because there's always room for improvement. (Why did the old one stop working? A shredder never seems to handle as many sheets as they claim.)
