I have had a Fellowes shredder for about 10 years and it is still working perfectly. Recently, I've had the need for a large capacity shredder due to a massive cleanup of my office and attic. Instead of buying a very expensive large scale shredder, I decided to buy this one as a supplement. It has a greater shredding capacity than my previous one, and using them both together gives me the running time and capacity that I need. I decided to choose the two-shredder alternative because of the long-term service and reliability of my first Fellowes shredder.

I had years of old credit card bills, bank statements, tax papers and more to shred. The 99Ms is doing an excellent job. After reading the directions, this particular shredder needs to be oiled more frequently that is the only draw back I see now. The 99Ms is a replacement for a 12 year old Fellows which still worked but kept jamming and paper wouldn't fall completely off the shredding knives which required frequent cleaning. I have none of that with the 99Ms.
works well. i wish it was less messy. How about bags that fit better?
Pros: Quality Construction, Jam Resistance, Safety Features, Secure Cut Size, Sheet Capacity, Shreds Credit Cards, Staples and CDs
I would recommend this to a friend!

I've had this new shredder a little over 6 months. It's a very good shredder generally, I had no problems installing the casters, as another reviewer said, they snap in. I've moved this shredder between 50 - 100 *feet* in its short life, on solid, flat, hardwood floors that are smooth as glass. BUT, the "housing" around 2 of the casters, separately from each other, have broken for no reason, and the housing around a 3rd has a smaller crack. See the 2 photos. I tried multiple layers of duct tape, but because the breaks are right at big and at two insertion points, it doesn't work. This is a huge annoyance to deal with. Other than these problems, the shredder is fine. I'd give this 4 if there were no caster problems. It gets 1 star because this is really a pain in the butt.
Pros: Quiet Operation, Secure Cut Size
Cons: Quality Construction, caster quality
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
