We were determined not to have limitations of previous inexpensive shredder and were not disappointed. My wife enthusiastically shredded several years of materials over several days. The machine never hesitated or overheated. We believe the difference in quality was well worth paying for [this machine was not as expensive as some others we looked at from a well known office store supplier].

All Lights remain on to include the Auto light. I've checked for jams (none), I've read the instructions on how to clean and oil. What would be the reason that all lights would light up and remain on. Also note that even though the auto light is engaged (on), I still have to use the manual feed in order to shread.

This is my "third" shredder. The others were not Fellowes shredders. They didn't last very long. I wound up with jammed shredders and two waste baskets. Then by a stroke of luck { I hadn't heard about Fellowes} I purchased this Fellowes shredder. I have a habit of pushing things, but this shredder has withstood me. No matter what, [even if I have to turn it off for a while] it comes back.Is it possible to love a shredder???? Thanks Fellowes for a product that defies me [ and gratefully so] Carol Slotnick

This is my fourth shredder, and by far the best in all respects. It is well constructed, quiet, and will not jam, not just sometimes, It Will Not Jam...period. I would and have recommended this shredder to anyone looking for a dependable shredder. I have nothing bad to say about it.

I was first impressed by the low noise level. Secondly Its size was convient for me being able to fit into the space I had available. I was a bit disappointed in the limited continious operational time but this didn't seriously effect my anticipated operation.

I purchased this Fellowes 79Ci Crosscut Shredder because my previous shredder, a single cut Fellowes shredder finally died. The shredder had worked well for about 3 years before it It had a lightening caused electrical short that fried the electric transformer in the wall. I replaced it with a variable transformer from Radio Shack, and it worked fine for another 8 years.before it jammed on a stapled over thick packet of paper. I never even thought of purchasing any other brand the a new Fellowes! So, I logically thought of a cross cut machine that could cut staples--when necessary--as will as CD's,old credit cards, and 16 sheets of paper at one time. Great product!

The Fellowes PS-79Ci is fast, efficient and powerful. We call it our R2D2. Perfect for a home office or personal home use. Was looking for a shredder that didn’t constantly jam and could shred and power-thru multiple sheets at a time. The PS-79Ci does the trick. Easy to assemble, plug-in and get started. Shredded my documents in no time. Fills up fast but easy to empty and get started again. Looking around the house for other things to shred. Its fun!

I bought this shredder to replace one that was a piece of junk. After five or so years of use, it would jam continually. The 79Ci is nicely build, it can easily shred more than 15 sheets of paper; it can deal with staples or paper clips and it's nice and quiet. I bought it when I saw that our department office had one also and they were really happy with it too.

i've had it for about two weeks now and have learned that this is one rugged, productive shredder. i have pushed it to its published limits and it has performed. as you can imagine, there is an inclination to attack lots of paper waste that has accrued - i've just finished shredding about 15 years of reports on heavyweight paper - a stack about 10" tall. the shredder didn't balk, but promptly produced several baskets of high-security waste. i'm using it at home, but i can see how it makes an ideal deskside machine. the basket does have a lot of static cling (dry house) - i'll spray it with a release agent. highly recommend!

I was amazed at how this machine performs. It is fast, is safe to use and very quiet. The shredded material would not allow anyone to decipher any information on any documents shredded. I am totally satisfied with this product and would recommend it to anyone. This machine is well built with a lot of features and durability to last.
