Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Fellowes 3229901 PowerShred 99Ci 17 Sheet Cross-Cut Shredder

Customer Review: One mean paper shredder
Summary: 5 Stars

I've used small, weaker paper shredders but faced with a mountain (90 file boxes packed full) of files that had to be shredded, I knew I'd need a better, more powerful shredder than I've ever used. After looking on the internet and reading the comments of many folks, I decided to buy this model. I am very impressed with this agressive shredder. It gobbled up everything that the owners manual said that it would do in quick order. I haven't finished the entire job yet, but at this point, I highly recommend the Fellowes SB-3229901 Intellishred 99Ci shredder. It's one mean machine.

Customer Review: Hefty 30 Gallon bags fit
Summary: 5 Stars

My PS55CC lasted me 10 years so I knew I would be buying another Fellowes after it died. I replaced it with a PS-79Ci but after 5000 pages over 1 weekend I decided I needed something larger. So far I've been very happy with this one. I wanted to point out that Hefty 30 Gallon Twist Tie Blue Large (2' 5.75" x 3') trash bags ($4.59 for 24 at a midwest home center where you save big money) fit this shredder. I think for this size of shredder you need to use a bag. The bin is large and unwieldy and it is rather difficult to invert and empty it into a garbage bag.

Customer Review: SB-99Ci Works as Adverstised
Summary: 5 Stars

I was a little hesitant because a few reviewers said this shredder would not shred 17 sheets and was too noisy. Both were wrong, so I assume that they fixed these problems (as well as the interlock pin, and the ease of installing the wheels).

The machine works fine. It hasn't overheated with continuous use. It detects when it is overloaded and stops and backs up and tries again, usually sucessfully, on the first retry.

I have only had it a few weeks, but if it continues to work as it has so far, then I will be completely satisfied.

Customer Review: Effective, effortless and safe
Summary: 5 Stars

The prior home office shredders had short life spans---too many jams, too little capacity, etc. I felt a larger, stronger shredder would be the answer---and so bought this one. It arrived fully assembled, except for the rollers (I needed help to install the castors). So far: perfect. Quiet. Safe--authomatic sensor shuts the machine off should fingers and paws get too close to the slot. Takes multiple sheets in larger quantities. Window allows me to see when basket is full. This is a new model for 2008 and I am very pleased with it!

Customer Review: GREAT Shredder
Summary: 5 Stars

This thing is GREAT. All shredders exaggerate the number of sheets that can be shredded. This one does do about 15 sheets of normal copy paper without issue but no more consistently. It is very quiet and does have a long run time. It is good that it has a large waste area as it powers through lots of sheets quickly. I was cleaning out files and ran through 3 full waste baskets and it never overheated or even slowed down.

Note dimensions, this thing is large.

I am very pleased with it and highly recommend.
