I' VE BOUGHT MANY 30 DOLLAR SHREDDERS OVER THE YEARS. IF I WOULD HAVE BOOUGHT THIS ONE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MY FISRT AND LAST NOT JUST MY LAST. IT PREFORMS PAST EXPECTATIONS. IT'S QUITE, STRONG AND BIG. IT JUST GOBBLES UP 14 SHEETS AND WILL FILL THE 6 GALLON BIN UP WITH OUT GROANING JUST A LIGHT PURR.
I'M A SMALL BUSINESS PERSON, THE FIRST WEEK I ELIMINATED 10 YEARS OLD OLD PAPER WORK, NOW ANYYHING IT WILL HANDLE IS LIGHT WORK.
THE LAST ONE I'LL EVER BUY

Works great!

Pros: features, easy to use, Performance

Very good machine. Only small gripe is that the casters were a bit difficult to attach. Other than that it's all great. Like the fact that it stops working when the bin gets full. My previous one didn't, which caused the shredded paper to get inside of it and jam. This one cost twice as much as the previous one, but it's worth the difference. Most of these things give you a page limit and then handle about half that amount without jamming. This one seems to be right on. Gets my recommendation.

Fellowes® Powershred® 79Ci 100% Jam Proof 14-Sheet

Pros: pull out waste bin, 12 minutes on cycle, shreds cds/dvds credit cards paper clips

Cons: heavy 29.5 lbs, not all-in-one unit

I see most reviewers really like this shredder but it didn't work for me. The biggest CON is that the top is NOT attached to the waste bin. You have to lift it out of the box and set it on top of the waste bin. It probably weighs 25 lbs and due to a medical condition, I am not strong enough to get it out of the box. I did not see it stated anywhere on the website that it came in separate pieces. If I had known I would not have purchased it. On the positive side, it does have a pull-out bin for emptying. It is probably a good shredder, but unless you are Popeye strong (or have someone who can help you) beware. I had another model (Fellowes 99Ci) which quit working after 3 yrs but I am going to purchase the same one again. I will have to get help to take it out of the box.
