I love this unit! Its powerful and very quiet. I'm pursuing a paperless, clutter free workspace and purchased (from B&H) a Fujitsu Scansnap IX500 scanner. I scan everything and then trash the paper.

This shredder is well constructed and very powerful. I cut a lot of papers and it did not stuck or jam so far. It works as advertised. I cannot comment on energy saving because I only use it occasionally and not 24 hours a day. I don't think the energy saving is the reason to buy this shredder.

The Fellowes PS-79Ci paper shredder is equipped with three levels of superior jam prevention safeguards. The first analyzes the thickness of the material you are sending into the slot, to be sure it's suitable for shredding.

Great shredder and very quiet compared to others that I've had.

Wow. This shredder is so much quieter than our old Fellowes. It easily shredded a 2 inch stack of papers in just a few minutes. I hope it lasts as long as our old one. We have had it 12 years and its still going strong, we just grew and needed a shredder that could handle more volume. :)

After burning out several cheap shredders I finally decided to buy a heavy duty model. After reading the reviews I bought this Fellowes 79Ci and I am very satisfied with it. I can put so many more pages into it and it does not bog down, it keeps chomping away.

impossible to jam and quiet as advertised BUT small bin capacity and overheats quickly. Good machine but not worth 2 times the Staples brand machine that it replaces. Recommended with the reservations noted above

The Fellowes Powershred 79Ci ($239.99) is a good choice as a shredder for your home office, or as a personal model for your small office or home. It's easy to use and reasonably fast.

Simple to use; Shreds CDs, paper clips, staples, and credit cards, as well as paper; Matched its rated speed in our testing

Not as jam-proof as promised; Casters are hard to attach; Unusually heavy lid

Removable bin so no mess. Perfect for home use and it's quiet which also helps.
