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.

Shreds EVERYTHING. Small problem getting a 'bite" on slick retail receipts, but grabs in second or so and finishes them off in short order. Great value. I have my own business and do quite a bit of shredding. I have had two other shredders that worked poorly, jams, etc. and on one the power button just quit working, that did it. This is my first Fellowes, I wish I had bought this one in the first place.

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.

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.

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!!!

i have gone through a number of shredders over the years. this was just going to be another regular $50 shredder purchase until i decided to go up a few levels in quality. AMZAZING!!!! that's all anybody needs to know. it's extremely quiet, but yet at the same time extremely powerful. the sensor for overloading works great!! unlike other shredders, this sensor actually lets you know when you're overloading BEFORE it starts shredding the paper. i also have two kids and the Safesence Technology works unbelievably well. i'm guessing it's heat sensored, but whatever the case may be, the Safesence works so well that not even the tinyest finger can fit in the opening without the shredder turning off it's grinders. quite frankly it's amazing. this machine is the very best shredder you can possibly buy and it's very affordable at the same time. spend the money...it'll save you $ in the long run i promise. shredders don't last forever, but you'll go through 2 or 3 regular shredders before this one gives way, that's for sure.

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.

I have owned about 6 shredders in the last 5 years. The PS-79ci I have had for over a year of that. That alone should tell you how good it is. I have not had one single problem from this shredder and would recommend it to everyone. I would also like to share a piece of advise for future shredder owners. Do not shred sticky notes. They stick to the teeth and mess things up.

While I have had this product for a short while, it handled all I fed it and indicated when I tried to put more than I should have so I didn't cause any problems. If this machine continues to do as it has it will have earned the rating I gave it and more.

I liked the sturdiness and quality of the Shredder. Just started using it but immediately saw the difference in performance versus the "bargain" machine I had. Would recommend to anyone who wants a machine for home office and especially one that will last.
