We've only had this new shredder for a few days, but it works perfectly. Our previous shredder jammed all the time, and just quit working after about a year of using it. This product has not jammed yet, is easy to use, and has a fair warranty (unlike our old machine).

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.

It fits great in my office and is well designed. Shreds great and have not had any jams! Is so pleasantly designed you don't even notice it sitting in the corner. Other shredders in our building are big and noisy. This one is a nice size and is soooooo quiet!

This is a good shredder and lives up to its name and function. I have confidently shredded several documents that were personal, and I am pleased with the result. Just not sure yet on how to use the credit card/CD shredder.... working on that one. I would recommend this to someone who wants a decent product. It is a bit noisy, but as soon as the shredding is done, the shut off is automatic, so not going to complain.

Fellowes Powershred 79Ci cross cut 100% jam proof paper shredder is jam-packed with special features that make its use easy and safe. It delivers a generous amount of security for a deskside paper shredder and is rated as security level 3 machine. The 79Ci is quite similar to the Fellowes Powershred 73Ci, which comes at a slightly lower price. The 79Ci has a larger sheet capacity of 14 sheets compared to 73Ci that can take 12 sheets at a time. Moreover, the Powershred 79Ci with a feed opening of 9 inch is able to easily shred letter and legal sized documents. The 79Ci is also not as sleek as the 73Ci, in fact its designed in a boxier shape, which makes it a perfect deskside paper shredder for personal use at home or office. Equipped with SafeSense technology that stops shredding operation when hands touch the feed opening! 100% jam proof technology allows you to experience problem free shredding, as the 79Ci shredder is equipped with a paper overfeed indicator. If the indicator turns red, that means you are trying to shred too many sheets. It has great warranty with 2-year parts and service warranty and a lifetime protection the cutting heads! SilentShred offers ultra-quiet performance for shared workspaces, but the shredding process is not silent! The caster wheels are very difficult to install, they do not snap in, and no instructions provided on how to install!

had other machines that jammed or overheated quickly. After taking the machine out of the box the instructions to assemble were straight forward and easy to follow. What a relief.Then I put the unit to work. The quiteness, capability of shredding and the non jamming may me a believer in this product and that I had purchased the right machine.Although I had the opportunity to purchase a less expensive machine, I hit the lottery on this purchase and recommend it to anyone looking to buy for the first time or replace.

Was tired of replacing my shredder in my home office every year and decided on this model after reading the reviews. Unit is very durable and I think this might be a keeper. It works really well and is very safe. Few things could be better- gets hot and shuts down after about a half hour of heavy shredding but cools down in about 15 minutes- also, it is really messing dumping the unit as the bag gets stuck in the pail and rips. It has a front draw to get the pail out(one of the reasons i bought this model)however getting the bag out causes some problems- all in all I like this unit.

I brought this shredder home, unpacked it, plugged it in, and started shredding without any problems. A few months later, and it is still going strong. I was undecided on whether to buy such a powerful unit, but when I needed it, the unit came through for me. I lost my Mom recently, and when we cleared out her place we were left with years worth of documents. The documents were out-dated, but still sensitive in nature. So, I put the PS-79Ci shredder to very good use. I blasted through piles of documents in no time at all. The jam-proof feature is foolproof, because it is based on the overall thickness of the paper(s) being fed in. If it exceeds a certain overall thickness, it just won't shred it. Pretty simple. If it doesn't like what it is fed, it stops, backs up and then continues shredding when it can. It also prevents little fingers from being hurt, by shutting off when it senses any fingers near the opening. Pretty slick. Since I recycle paper, I shred just about everything that comes across my desk, regardless of the sensitivity rating. It makes trash day much easier. Instead of putting it into my waste basket, I just pop it into the shredder. I pour the shredded paper into a brown shopping bag, squash it down, tape it up, mark it "SHREDDED PAPER" and toss it into the recycled paper bin. It takes up so much less space! The only thing that I'd like to see, is a better way to empty is, without getting paper dust all over the carpet. It would be nice if the shredder had paper bags available, so that it could be caught as it was shredded, folder over, taped and recycled!

The name says it all, FELLOWES. The best is to be expected with such a brand name, and that is exactly what I found to be true with this shredder, the POWERSHRED 79Ci. It is well worth the cost. I am very happy I made this purchase. It is a quiet, jam proof, safe shredder. The caster wheels make for easier movement around the the place and the pull out draw is conveniently located too. I had a number of things to shred, from stapled papers to CDs. The POWERSHRED 79Ci has taken care of all of these things efficiently. The advertisement was true to its words about the POWERSHRED 79Ci. I look forward to the long use life of this product.

I have been very pleased with this purchase. The quietness in its operation is remarkable. Working in a police department, we can't afford for sensitive information to be accidentally released, this shredder does the job a cross-cut shredder is suppose to do. It's great for home or office use. With the added safety features it quiet simple the best.
