Great shredder
on October 13, 2009
Posted by: yccg
We purchased this shredder several months ago & it has worked great so far. It's much more quiet than our old shredder, holds much more & shreds staples, paper clips & CDs as easily as paper. The non-jamming feature is also great. My only complaint is that the drawer tears holes in the bags & makes emptying a problem.
Pros: Jam Resistance, Quiet Operation, Secure Cut Size, Shreds Credit Cards, Staples and CDs
Cons: messy, bags tear when opening the drawer
I would recommend this to a friend!

Fellowes SB-99ci
on October 20, 2009
Posted by: Blackbeerd
The first thing that struck me about my new shredder was the extremely quiet operation. I have owned several shredders but never have I owned one this quiet. The next thing I noticed was the way the machine "straigtens out" papers which are not vertically inserted, thereby eliminating jambs. Also, the machine can "power thru" batches that are a little too thick, eliminating the need to reverse the feed, separate the pages, and feed in a smaller batch.
I like the feature which shuts the shredder down if the motor overheats, saving the machine from major overheating failure.
All in all, a great machine for the money.
Pros: Quality Construction, Jam Resistance, Quiet Operation, Secure Cut Size, Sheet Capacity

Sweet Shredder
on October 25, 2009
Posted by: JoeJoe
The Fellowes SB-99Ci was my 4th shredder purchased and to say the least, the old adage of you get what you pay for comes to mind from the less expensive shredders purchased in the past. From paper jams to blade damage, the other brands all had problems after a lot of use even with me doing the recommended maintenance.
Since I work from a home office and I often have my oldest daughter (10 years old) helping me with things like shredding paperwork, I was looking for a shredder that incorporated SafeSense Technology while at the same time allowing for loads of papers to be shredded at the same time. The Fellowes SB-99Ci provides me with that and much more, although I'm not too sure about the 17 sheets per pass. From what I've seen it's more like 10-12 sheets, but then again, I do shred a lot of envelopes along with papers as well.
Overall this is a very sweet shredder. With it being safe, first and foremost, quiet and dependable I can say that I'm very satisfied with my purchase thus far.
Pros: Quality Construction, Jam Resistance, Safety Features, Quiet Operation, Warranty

You get what you pay for
on October 26, 2009
Posted by: nyrxman
When it comes to Shredders I learned a long time ago you really do get what you pay for. I have a small home business and really did not need such a large shredder, but I got tired of emptying out bags and wanted a shredder with larger capacity. This shredder fit the bill for me. It is as they say 100% jam proof (but then again, why would you want to even try to jam it). And it performs all of its duties as advertised. I fits nicely in my home office. Since it sits sideways, it take up much less room than a "front loading" shredder. But what really impressed me was how quiet is is compared to shredders I've had in the past. Let's face it, at some point all shredders implode. This one seems to be well built and should last for quite a while if not overworked. I think the biggest problem with shredders is that many people pick a shredder that is undersized for the jobs it needs to handle and burns out quicker. I went for the bigger one with the hopes I will have it a while.
I recommend it.
Pros: Quality Construction, Jam Resistance, Safety Features, Quiet Operation, Shreds Credit Cards, Staples and CDs, side profile
Cons: Secure Cut Size

Great Purchase

This shredder is great! We have a lot of shredding to do in our office and it handles it all. We can wheel it around the store too, which is nice. Handles alot of paper at once and very user friendly. I would recommend to any one.

Runs Good
on October 27, 2009
Posted by: lawoffice
I really like how this operates. The sheet rating is a bit high, but works much better than my other less-expensive Fellowes shredder.
First two units came defective from Amazon. Not sure if that was shipping or what. Fellowes customer service was excellent in resolving the issues. It almost made me want to go with a different model, but the third works great. Nobody dreads the shred anymore!

Great Buy!
on November 12, 2009
Posted by: Anne
Our office has been sharing an older shredder that has simply become worn out. The SB-99Ci is a great buy! This shredder operated quietly and quickly. I have not had any jams and the basket is large and doesn't require constant emptying. I would recommend this shredder to anyone looking for the whole package.
