Excellent Choice for Small Office Document and Media Disposal Security
Would RecommendI always research extensively before making important purchases. I have been wanting to add a shredder to my small home office for quite some time and finally came to a decision on the Fellowes Powershred 79Ci. Glad I did. Amazon.com had the best price and I was even able to get even more of a reduction on the already low price by using my American Express Membership Rewards Points! The Fellowes Powershed 79Ci Crosscut Shredder arrived in only 2 days from Amazon.com. The first thing I noticed is...

Good Shredder
Would RecommendJust purchased but is running great so far. Bin fills up pretty quickly tho

Good shredder
Would RecommendWorks well. Does not jam or is easily "unjammed" by reversing. Doesn't really eat up "heavier" paper products, as you may need to clear the shredded strands or the "bin full" light will go on. Still, the machine does it's job. Would not recommend for a multi-person environment. Spend the money and get a larger capacity shredder, if more than one user.

Finally a Shreder that is Emily Proof
Would RecommendI love this shreder. I have a tendency to break things. I broke our office shredder before this one. I jammed it several times until it just quit working. Then I was on the hunt for a shredder that was 100 percent jam proof. I found this one and it did not dissapoint. Anytime I put in too much paper a red light would appear to gently remind me that I have put in too much paper. I was able to shred all of the documents that have been piling up over the last year and it didn't take my entire day! ...

Best Shredder
Would RecommendThe 79Ci Jam Proof Cross-Cut Shredder by Fellowes is the best shredder I have purchased in the last 20 years. I have tried every home-business shredder on the Market. The 79Ci is quiet, size is great, and the design I can put it anywhere and it don't look out of place. And to make it even more valuable it shreds anything I put in it. From credit card offers to old credit cards.

Would Recommendhad 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 fi...

Quiet Operation
Would RecommendWe love the quietness of this Fellowes shredder...our only complaint is that the size of the pieces after shredding would be better if they were smaller. This would allow them to pack down more and the bag not fill up as fast.

Thank you for your recommendation, Goatmama! We appreciate and value your feedback.
Fellowes is the best
Would RecommendThis Fellowes 79Ci is replacing a Fellowes PS 60CC shredder we bought in 1996, which has finally given up. If this new one lasts half as long, I will be happy. So far, the new shredder is living up to it's praises. The one small complaint I have is that the basket fills up too fast and I think that is because the cut size is larger than our previous shredder. It is quieter and safer to use. I wouldn't buy a shredder unless the Fellowes name was on it.

Replacing my old Fellowes MS-450Cs
Would RecommendI had my Fellowes micro shred MS-450Cs for years it still works but the blades must be getting worn out cause the temperature cut off occurs too soon. This 79Ci is the replacement I picked. Not as quite as the MS-450Cs but still gets the job done. Furthermore it can handle 16 sheets instead of 5 sheets.

We are pleased that you are so pleased with your 79Ci shredder!
so far so good
Would Recommendbought 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.
