Having owned at least 3 shredders and never been satisfied with them, I am extremely pleased to finally have found a well made shredder that is capable of a large amount of paper feeds at one time w/o having it jam. The shred time before it needs to cool down is more than adequate. I had a multitude of documents to shred dating from 2008 onward and this shredder greatly facilitated the job unlike no other shredder I have owned or currently own as I was using both shredders to do the job. Too much jamming and need for cool down with my other one.

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!

The cross-cut PS 79ci, only has 1 drawback. When the basket is full, unless you have changed the bag before,you wouldn't know this. You must carefully stick your hand down the front wall, as the bag gets stuck underneath the viewing window and tears when pulled out, making a mess. The overall size of the inside basket may seem small, but the paper is really compacted, holding quite a lot.

Great shredder! I have been used to using < $100 basic home shredders, so this is a huge upgrade. The sturdy metal shredding teeth are much more durable than cheaper machines. The 16 sheet capacity makes bigger jobs quicker. The features of the Safesense (turns off motor if fingers touch feed slot) and Jam Proof (automatic reversing and refeeding if a jam is detected) are not necessary, but add to the worry free and speedy operation of the machine. I am very happy that this time I replaced my shredder with a tougher machine!

The Fellowes 79Ci shredder is new to me but I had a backlog to shred. It handled paper, envelopes, credit card fed gently for 20 minutes. I was quite pleased. And it rolls so I can store it and roll it out to shred.. Very convenient! Only issue is the plastic piece over the credit card shredding opening is stuck in place and I had. to use the paper entry instead of the credit card entry to shred the credit cards. Otherwise, I'm very pleased with this purchase. Also, it was easy to assemble and instructions were clear.

My 20 year old shredder gave up the ghost. I took it apart and found two broken gears. Called customer service and talked with Alan who informed me the gears are no longer available. Checked with him on my needs and decided on this model to start shredding old IRS and work files. New model is great with larger capacity (16 pages), doesn't heat up like the old one, is quieter and emptying the pull-out container is much easier. I plan on following the instructions on oiling each time after emptying the container. Am very satisfied, although would have considered doing the repair work had new gears been available.

I was very pleased with the operation of this shredder. It worked exactly as advertised and as the owner's manual said it would. When I contacted Fellowes through their web site to ask a question, I received a response the same day. Carole N. was quite helpful and my question was answered.

I bought this because I was tired of jams and broken down shredders. I use my shredder mostly to shred mail with my personal info on it. but at the end of the year i use it to shred a lot of old papers and old bills. while this isn't a frequent task it is an important one and one I don't want to spend weeks doing. It was important to me to find a durable shredder that would not jam and let me get this job done as quickly as possible. this shredder does that in spades!

This Home/office shedder (79Ci) has proved to be the best shredder I have ever purchased. I have NEVER had any sort of issue with this shedder which I purchased roughly 6 months. It never jams, is able to shred CD's and credit cards with a sense of total ease. IF you are looking for a shredder I highly recommend this product!!

I purchased a new Fellowes shredder, because the older Fellowes model that served me well over the past 10+ years needed retiring. I never considered another brand other than Fellowes, because not only did I have a reliable home shredder, but also at various financial offices I've worked in used Fellowes shredders. Their reliability and durability for home and small businesses is unsurpassed as far as I'm concerned. I would definitely recommend Fellowes and this particular model, PS-79Ci, for home or small office use. I researched various Fellowes shredder models, and the PS-79Ci came out on top. One important note that most users ignore is oil the machine as often as directed—this shredder will last a long time if the simple maintenance procedures are followed.
