This is my fifth or sixth shredder, so I've seen a lot of these....

Most shredders barely work & give you the feeling that they aren't going to last. I've had more expensive shredders than this, stop recognizing paper.... or just sense phantom paper at random times and make a lot of noise suddenly.

This one has the autosense feature as well as an override, so you don't have to worry about the paper-sensing mechanism breaking.

Haven't had to clear a jam yet in the 6-9 months I've had it. I've been spoiled, so before seeing the "doesn't jam" checkbox for this review, I forgot that I did clear jams and/or the teeth of every previous shredder daily.

Still hums rather than screams when it shreds...

A winner!!

Even though my pros and cons are about the same it is a good shredder. I just know that I can't put as much in at one time and that I can't over use it at one time. The first time I used this product I overheated it, it takes 20 mins. to cool off once it has overheated. I purchased this shredder because our last one died, (we had it for years). I would have repurchased that old one but couldn't find it. Overall it is a good product, just can't do to much at once.

    Comments about Fellowes Powershred® 79Ci 14-Sheet Jam Proof Cross-Cut Shredder:

    The office shredder in the reception area finally died. I do the ordering of the office supplie, so I went to Staples website and started reading some of the reviews on shredders. I decided on this one because of all the favorable reviews and the actual product information. I was really surprised when my monthly catalog of "All Of You" came and they had done a review of shredders and this one was rated Number 1. At the time I bought it, I bought it solely on Staples reviews, not on any other. This shredder is much quieter than any we have had in the office. It handles more pages than the others, easy to empty, and has not jammed. Very nice shredder.

    Comments about Fellowes Powershred® 79Ci 14-Sheet Jam Proof Cross-Cut Shredder:

    After shopping for a shredder I have learned that our old shredder, which was over 10 years old, was very sturdy and reliable. I'm guessing it was a higher cost shredder in its day. This unit has been reliable, and is yet to jam. The bin fills up faster than I would like, but overall a good purchase.

      Comments about Fellowes Powershred® 79Ci 14-Sheet Jam Proof Cross-Cut Shredder:

      This is a great shredder for the price. Included is a large bin so it does not have to be emptied often and I especially like the 14 sheet capacity. I have been using it for about 3 weeks and have not run in to any issues at all. The motor/shredder unit weighs over 10 pounds (at least it feels it does) and I thought it might be a little top heavy with the large bin but it has been very stable even when bumped by my dog as she runs through the library sometimes. I also like the convenient see-through slot so you can easily tell when the bin gets full. Just make sure to use clear bags or otherwise it is useless.

        Like the fact that the shredder is able to shred for a long time and it has a short cool- off time after overheating. The only complaint I have is that the bin capacity is quite small.
