Great Office Shredder! Reviews Fellowes 3229901 PowerShred 99Ci 17 Sheet Cross-Cut Shredder

This Fellowes 3229901 PowerShred 99Ci 17 Sheet Cross-Cut Shredder is a beast! For the money we paid we wanted something that would handle what we considered a medium work load and this shredder has not disappointed. It does handle up to 17 papers pretty easily but it can work and work and doesn't seem to give us any problems.

The main thing I liked about the SB-99Ci is the Safe-Sense technology that shuts off the shredding blades when a hand (or any other body part) gets too close to the blades. The Safe-Sense technology is extremely effective. I did not realize that it works by detecting fingers etc. when they come into contact with the metal trim that surrounds the shredder mouth (I thought the trim was just decorative...but it is functional).

Love the safe-guard technology that saves your fingers. The metal that surrounds the paper slot is heat sensitive to your fingers or any other body part and immediately stops the machine. It takes 17 pages at once and most shredder bags and some recycling bags fit into the bin.

All the other shredders that I own, I had to constantly tamp down the paper and shred again cause the paper piled up in the centre and never filled the bags on their own. This may seem small, but i have other things to do than to sit there tamping down paper, unjamming slots, and shredding 3-5 papers at a time. One thing though, don't forget to oil the Fellowes 3229901 PowerShred 99Ci machine. Fellowes is excellent on their warranties. An added bonus is how quite this machine is.

Based upon our actual users, they have not complained about it being excessively loud, it has not been disruptive to the work area, it is used everyday, it has not jammed and our shredder 'usage' has actually increased with this product. The waste capacity is satisfactory for our office (we have to empty the basket about once per week).

Overall, our office has been extremely satisfied with this Fellowes 3229901 PowerShred 99Ci 17 Sheet Cross-Cut Shredder product and I would highly recommend it.
