I purchased this shredder to replace a similar model (PS80C-2) that I have been using for the past 15 or so years. This 79Ci does an excellent job and seems to be as reliable as the old one. For the price, I don't think you can find a better shredder, especially for home use.

Safeguarding yourself from identity theft is of paramount importance today. The proper shredding of compromising documents is one of the single most important safeguards a person can take to help prevent such a tragic event. Before upgrading to my Fellowes PS-79Ci shredder, I failed to shred all such documents, as my old shredder was far too slow, jammed easily and was just unreliable. In addition, it was not a cross cut model, so even the few documents I did shred, were not adequately destroyed. Now with the Fellowes PS-79Ci shredder, shredding has become almost effortless and is no longer the laborious exercise it once was. I now have in place the fast and reliable means to shed all of those compromising documents that would otherwise be vulnerable to identity theft. The addition of the Fellowes PS-79Ci shredder is one of the soundest investments that I have made.

I’ve been very favorably impressed with the 79Ci shredder’s performance. It is fast and is much quieter than other shredders I have used. The paper sensors are very useful and the storage bin is easily removed. The only problem is the Safesense safety light does not light when you touch the paper opening. The paper storage bin seems to fill very quickly, but a larger bin would of course mean the whole unit would have to be much larger. Overall I am very pleased with the 79Ci (except for the non-functioning safety light) , and would highly recommend this unit.

This shredder is excellent! It is quiet, yet powerful, and does its job! Whether I am shredding one piece of paper, or 10, the PS-79Ci makes my day! And it fits very nicely under my desk where I can wheel it out when needed, and push it under when I don't! This shredder is a class act!

I am replacing my Fellowes PS-77C shredder. This was a very good shredder for my office for my home business. As I am now retired, I decided to purchase a newer and larger capacity shredder to start destroying my business records. I bought the largest one available from the retailer I use. The Fellowes shredders I have always used in the past have done me a great job and I expect no less from the 79CI. Spend your money and pick the Fellowes shredder that fits your lifestyle. You will not be disappointed!

bought this to replace a similar shredder from another manufacturer. so far this machine has worked extremely well and has given me and my staff little trouble. I wish the bin were a little larger , but then I guess it would have taken more space that we don't have in this small office.

I love my new Fellowes shredder. I have always tried to do with cheaper shreaders and always burned them up. With the PS79-ci, it does all my heavy duty shredding as long as I stay within the max. number of sheets. I like the way it digests the heavier work rather than just stopping. I will never buy a cheap shredder again. Well worth the money. You do need to make sure you lube it occasionally with the special oil you can buy. If you do a lot of shredding, you might consider a machine with more shredding capacity.

I bought this shredder to replace an older one that became jammed with too many pages. I wanted a shredder that would do a decent number of pages at a time as well as have a good duty cycle, and this one fit the bill. I've used it quite a lot so far and it has performed as advertised, including not accepting an envelope that was too think...it just stopped and backed it out...no jam! I would recommend this as a good, medium duty shredder for a home office.

I have totally falen in love with the ease of use of my PS-79ci. I deal a lot with exxtremely sensative documents and the capability of having a shredder that makes little chips of paper gives me piece of mind that none of the information cah be resonstructed. Thank you ever so much for such a great piece of equipment.

I upgraded from a Fellows shreader purchased about 10 years ago and what a work horse. Easily shreads 10 pages no trouble. Credit cards and staples just vanish into waste. I like the light feature showing you how much of a load the shreader can handle before stopping and doing damage to the motor or gears. I would reccomend this shreader to anyone that needs to trash personal imformation. A very safe piece of equipment for home or office use. NO HOME SHOULD BE WITHOUT ONE OF THESE!!!
