Better than the reviews indicate!

I love my new Fellowes 79Ci. It is a replacement for a less-than-two-year-old Royal shredder that stopped working; it was of similar size and shredding capacity to the 79Ci. As to the reviews I read before purchasing this shredder: (1) Some reviewers had trouble getting the casters in. I had very little difficulty; with just a little wiggling of the caster, it slipped right in. (2) Reviewers complained about the bin not shutting if it is partially full with shredded paper. The bin shuts solidly even if mostly full. Just push it in at the middle of the drawer--down about 4-5" from the hand-hold. (3) Then there were complaints about having to open the bin periodically to push the shredded paper down. Yes, I do have to open the bin and mash the shredded paper down fairly often. However, it is less often than with the Royal shredder I had and the 79Ci stops taking the paper when the bin is showing full and needs to have the paper pushed down. The Royal kept taking the paper and then it jammed, requiring a lengthy process of removing the pieces of paper that were stuck in the shredder blades. I'm very glad I ordered this shredder.
Pros: Jam Resistance, Quality Construction, Quiet Operation, Safety Features, Secure Cut Size, Sheet Capacity, Shreds Credit Cards, Staples and CDs
I would recommend this to a friend!

very quiet, love the pull out drawer to empty the shredder bin and you don't have to lift the HEAVY motor every time to empty or push paper down to fill more.

I was concerned spending a little more on a shredder but changed my mind after three cheap failed units. Best thing I ever did! Why Fellowes 79Ci? Because all the reviews I read said it was the best. And they were not wrong!!

Best Shredder 79 Ci
on September 26, 2017
Posted by: Researcher
I bought 2 Staples shredders, but had to replace them almost yearly. After research I decided to purchased a Fellowes and have been a very happy since then. The shredder was used daily and performed very well for over 5 years. It started to be sluggish and decided it was time to replace it. I would never buy anything but a Fellowes, so I bought another 79 Ci. When you find a winner you stick with it !!!
