A Startling Surprise
Iām 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-o...

Don't Buy 79Ci
Because is not a micro-shredder, the volume produced when shredding is huge. But capacity of bin is too small, so you end up having to hand-compact the shredded product and to empty the bin too often. And emptying the bin is very messy, so prepare to vacuum and clean after. If you have very little to shred, it can be ok, otherwise, don't buy it. I regret being convinced...

THE BUCKET THE SHREDDED PAPER COLLECTS IN; IS VERY SENSATIVE; IF EVERY ASPECT OF THE BUCKET IS NOT TIGHTLY SECURED; THE SHREDDER ITSELF WILL NOT TURN ON

Not What I expected
For the price I expected a better performing shredder. The bin doesn't close correctly and the paper doesn't shred as fine as I would like which causes the bin to fill up faster. Only order this one because they were out of the Tru Red which performs way better and is cheaper.

Years vs usage
Iām replacing same product due to malfunctions, not shutting off after completing shredding, issues with cds, etc. I think the product worked great according to the specs for a whilecbut although Iāve had it a few years (10+) I didnāt use it regularly, hardly ever. Therefore I didnāt expect to have issues with it now. But Iāll see how the replacement does. Iām also ...

Adequate
This device performs adequately but has two negatives. First, with a plastic bag inserted in the bin, the bin has a difficult time activating the shredder. Second, there is a protrusion in the bin that rips the plastic bag upon removal. I taped a piece of cardboard over the protrusion.

Good shredder, bin placement is tough.
This shredder is quiet and works well. The only issue is that it can be hard to get the bin to go in all the way and hit the safety switch that allows the machine to operate. Another department has the same machine so I know it should "break in" over time.
