This is my 2nd Powershred 79Ci It is such a great product!
on June 17, 2020
Posted by: SassyShredder
I am now the proud owner of my 2nd Powershred 79Ci. The first one we have owned for approximately 7 years. It was getting a bit tired, but is now in my husbands shop for his use. The new one is in my office! YEAH. This product does everything it says it will do. I have shred everything from single sheets to credit cards, to CDs with no problem. My only con is the drawer is a bit tricky to lock into place. Other than that it is perfect in everyway. LOVE IT! The Fellowes company is wonderful at answering questions and giving support if needed. They will continue to have our business.
Pros: Jam Resistance, Quality Construction, Quiet Operation, Safety Features, Secure Cut Size, Service Guarantee, Sheet Capacity, Shreds Credit Cards, Staples and CDs, Warranty
Cons: you have to really push the drawer into place.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Powershred 79CI
on February 16, 2021
Posted by: Slider
Purchased a Powershred PS14CI a number of years ago and after probably a ton of paper the unit finally gave out. Moved out of state and after getting set up purchased the Powershred 79CI. I believe that this is a new and improved version of my previous shredder. Quite operation, pull out collection bin, handles up to 16 pages at a time and shred size is roughly 5/32" x 1.5" of crosscut paper. Can't praise this item enough.
Pros: Jam Resistance, Quality Construction, Quiet Operation, Safety Features, Secure Cut Size, Service Guarantee, Sheet Capacity, Shreds Credit Cards, Staples and CDs, Warranty

Best Shredder I've Ever Purchased
on November 5, 2021
Posted by: thebanker
First piece of home office equipment I've ever had that doesn't have any "Cons"...just all "Pros." Quiet, efficient operation, excellent safety "Stop" feature, handles all my junk mail, card brochures/pamphlets, safely stores shredded material in a plastic bag easily accessible by pulling out bin from the front, no worry about removing staples or paper clips, modern style, fits perfectly under my desk. Highly recommend to others.
Pros: Jam Resistance, Quality Construction, Quiet Operation, Safety Features, Secure Cut Size, Sheet Capacity, Shreds Credit Cards, Staples and CDs, Warranty

A Startling Surprise
on September 23, 2010
Posted by: AuntZee
I’m a collector, an octogenarian, so have for many years saved cards, letters and poetry from my husband, mother, children and friends; love letters from old boyfriends; receipts, and records of work and business, all too personal to throw in the curbside trash.
Did I want my children to encounter this mountain of paper clutter? NO! So I bought three shredders one-by-one. By file fifteen, or less in one case, they clattered, stopped, had to be begged to take one sheet at a time. Finally growing discouraged I started looking at other people’s opinions of better shredders; perusing reviews by those who’d tested several shredders and discovered the Fellowes PS-79Ci had a good reputation. I bought one, however I was dubious of its staying power. I am having a grand surprise.
To empty the previous shredders I had to lift off the tops which were awkward and heavy. And they all filled much too quickly. My Fellowes container is large enough to hold one stuffed file which works for me, the weight being just right to manage as I slide out the basket and dump the pieces into a garbage bag.
Too often the other shredders were hot, quit working, always before I could get the contents of one file folder through them. This shredder gets hot after about three stuffed files. That’s just right, too, for I’m tired of sitting by then, ready to walk around for awhile, smell my roses and admire the moss rose … or start lunch, drink a cup of coffee, relax.
Forty-six large black garbage bags of shredded paper later, I am thankful to all of the people who suggested I buy one. I estimate I have forty-six more bags at least to go, but now have the faith … my Fellowes is up to the job. And happily, in a final win-win, a nephew is plowing under the shredded material as mulch for his next year’s garden so my lifelong collection of memories will live on. I visualize them now … as tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers.
Pros: Quiet Operation, Sheet Capacity, Quality Construction, Safety Features, Secure Cut Size, Jam Resistance, slide out container
