    this paper shredder is the second one I have had. The first was perfect. no problems and had it for years. This one I had trouble getting the castors on and it did not have the back pocket for storage of bags and oil. I guess I was spoiled by the first one. I am keeping this one because I need a shredder now. Would be nice if you sent me the back pocket. If you don't, I guess it is what it is. :(

    3.0 out of 5 stars Bin doesn't compact and hard to close
    Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2021
    Style: 79Ci - 16 sheetVerified Purchase
    The other shredder we had for 15+ years was better, but unfortunately died recently. After an intensive Google search for highly recommended shredders in 2021, we got this one. For the price, I'd expect more. The bin is smallish, and they didn't build the bin to 1) compact the shreds nor 2) manage trashbag lining. There's nowhere to fold the bag evenly and therefore gets stuck when trying to close the bin. The bin is not graceful closing either, usually takes 2 or 3 attempts to close it properly. Because of the lack of compacting, it has to be manually packed in (meaning more opening and closing battles) and the bin size is relatively small for the overall large size of the whole machine. If it weren't a pain to return, we'd return it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A shredder than can cope with several sheets and oh! so quiet too. Brilliant!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 9, 2014
    Style: 79Ci - 16 sheetVerified Purchase
    This shredder replaced a run-of-the-mill shredder the likes of which you'll see in supermarkets and the DIY stores - OK for a couple of sheets of A4 but struggle with anything more.

    This was not bought on a whim, not at this price and it's for home (rather than office) use. But I was so fed-up of my old shredder baulking at anything other than a couple of sheets of A4. So after much research I dived in.

    What's to like?
    ---------------
    Does what is says on the box. Just about. 13 sheets of A4 (as per the video review from another satisfied customer!) were chomped through effortlessly.

    Quiet. Compared to my old shredder which sounded like I was digging up the road this is pretty much whisper quiet. Bliss. No disturbance to anyone so would be great in an office too. And it doesn't feel strained either.

    Jam proof. Well, let's clear this up. If it gets stuck with the 22 invoices you've forced into the slot it will stop, show you the red (naughty) light, reverse the paper then try again - and I've never had it fail at this point so I'm *well* impressed!

    Removable bin. No lifting off the head unit here. Just remove the bin to empty it. Or be real clever and line the bin with the supplied bags (or kitchen bin liners would do) and there's no confetti mess to clear up afterwards.

    Movable on its four castors. That's a neat feature if you want to bring it closer to your desk, for example.

    Dashboard lights telling you what's going on. So if the bin needs emptying the light for this will come on. The lights telling you how 'loaded' the machine feels as it chomps through your bank statements is just fantastic. You'll see what I mean when you get one.

    Good length mains cable reaches across the floor to an under-desk socket, no trouble.

    Did I mention how quiet the shredder was, even when chomping more than a dozen sheets of 80 gsm A4 paper? You can gather that this impresses me greatly.

    What could be better?
    ---------------------
    I had terrible trouble getting the castors onto the base. I had to exert considerable force to get one of the castors to seat (they 'click' into place). I can only assume that the plastic moulding was not perfect. My wife would NEVER have managed to do it (no sexist inference implied, but if it required all my six foot strength to get it seated that was too much). It would have been better if the castors had been fitted at the factory.

    Stingy supply of bags (just three) came with the unit. OK, I knew this and bought the supply of 100 with it but I think they could have given ten with the machine.

    Stingy supply of oil came with the unit. You're supposed to oil the shredder via the paper slot every time you empty the bin so the supplied oil was enough for a couple of bins. I knew this and bought the big oil bottle with the unit but they should have given more with the machine. It's not worth being mean here if you want the machine to last the many years it should. Be religious in your oiling to get good service.

    But even these minor quibbles don't lose it a star.

    Conclusion
    ----------
    Certainly the best shredder I've ever owned and one that finally shreds a decent amount of paper in one go without complaining. I shredded all my year-end receipts and bank statements and it just romped through the lot. Absolutely fantastic. I can only recommend this for home use and small office use too.

    Did I mention how quiet it was?

    4.0 out of 5 stars Powerful And Good Looking
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 11, 2016
    Style: 79Ci - 16 sheetVerified Purchase
    When I ordered this shredder I must admit that I wondered if I was doing the right thing, paying so much - but it was on offer! After my husband put the wheels on and after a good read of the manual, I started to shred a LARGE pile of paperwork which had been building up for ages. All was going well for about 6 minutes when, disappointment, it overheated and stopped.

    Well, one of the reasons I purchased this machine was that it stated that you can continuously shred 'for up to 20 minutes'. So I was a bit miffed to say the least. Anyway, we let it cool down for a hour and half and then resumed the shredding only to have it stop after five minutes. I didn't think this was good enough and so I rang Fellowes for advice. After a short chat with a very helpful young lady, she asked me to return the shredder and order a replacement, which I did. By the way - keep the outer cardboard box for a while in case this happens to you, we had to tape ours back together which wasn't much fun as it was, by now, in many pieces!
    The replacement shredder arrived yesterday and my husband put the wheels on...................................

    Guess what - it overheated in ten minutes this time. Oh well, I guess that is as good as it gets. The reality is that I don't often have huge piles of paperwork to shred and as it just soooooo quiet compared to my old machine, I have decided to keep it.

    It is quite large. I knew it would be as I got the tape measure out before I ordered it but on actually seeing it, it does take some getting used to but easily fits under a desk. Quite a nice looking machine and, as I previously said, it is nice and quiet. As it was quite costly, I shall be oiling it regularly and I would suggest that you purchase some at the same time and, if you do a lot a shredding, the bags, too. I am a bit disappointed that the shredding doesn't ALL go into the bag so after a long session, I shall have to get the vacuum cleaner out.

    So it's 4 stars from me as it doesn't quite do what 'it says on the tin' and then there is the overflowing shredding. If it doesn't live up to expectations I shall get back to you.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Good balance between bulk personal shredding and ongoing use
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 28, 2017
    Style: 79Ci - 16 sheetVerified Purchase
    I spent considerable time hunting for a suitable paper shredder and eventually landed on this one for my needs. It's more expensive than some but I think it's good value for what I paid.

    Before buying a shredder you need to think hard about what you need it for and how often you will use it. In my case I had a huge backlog of papers and then moderate ongoing use. Both required secure shredding (i.e. smaller pieces).

    All shredders have a limit on how long you can perform continuous shredding before you have to let them cool down. I realised this but was happy to shred my backlog of papers over a few days rather than use another method such as burning. I did my papers in batches, wandering off to do something else in between and coming back to it, which meant that the shredder never overheated or jammed (and I didn't get bored) but I never pushed it to the limit so not sure how long it will continuously shred before having to cool down.

    The shredder so far has been great. It's quick enough for me and I like the indicator that tells you if you have too many or too few sheets before you feed them, so ensuring you shred the optimum number of papers to maximise shredding speed but avoid jams. The waste tray is easy to remove and replace. It's plenty large enough for ongoing use although obviously when bulk shredding you empty it frequently. There is an indicator light to tell you it needs emptying but by crushing the paper down in the bin you can increase the amount you do before emptying. I use shredder bags for ease in ongoing use but didn't bother when doing my bulk shredding to sped up the process.

    The machine feels robust but the wheels mean it's easy to move it around and overall I am very pleased with it.

    I have used shredder oil to keep the blades in good condition, which apparently helps avoid jams so am not sure how performance might change without it.
