Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Purchase for the New Office With expanding our office and being a new building, we needed an upgrade. With such positive experience with Fellows in the past as well as our old shredder being a Fellows too, knew it would be the best to go that route. Now, we can say Fellows does not disappoint. Plenty of safety and guards, quiet running and decent size drum for shredding. It has been a bonus in the office and another reason why it was worth the money to invest in our staff for a more efficient product to keep the ball rolling!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Simply the Best We purchased the exact same one as we had that finally stopped working after 10 years. We really used the last one every day. We have been amazed to the fact it just kept going.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Literally Best Shredder I've ever owned I wouldn't go so far as to say it was my Best Purchase Ever, as the example would suggest, but it is by far the best shredder I've ever purchased. It is quiet, the SafeSense feature gives me peace of mind with grandkids running around, and it just massacres paper, credit cards and cds. Best feature?? I don't even have to open the junk mail to run it through the shredder. Just feed the unopened stuff right in.. Great job Fellowes!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic Replacement Choice I purchased the Powershred 99Ci shredder as a replacement. I expected something comparable to the previous product. I was in for a surprise. The Fellows Powershred far surpassed my expectations. The shredder is quiet, efficient, and I love the safety features. I only regret not making this investment sooner.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Rugged machine This is our second machine. The first on lasted for about 6 years and started having minor problems with jamming. Overall it lasted for about 7 years before we needed to buy a new machine. Near the end of it's life cycle, we had to cut down to about 5 sheets of paper in order for it not to jam. We replaced it with the same machine because we feel that it served us very well and lasted a long time for how often we use it. Brand new it performs perfectly and is very jam resistant.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I bought another Fellowes Shredder I had my last Fellowes paper shredder since 2005. It still works, but I thought it was time for a new one. The only brand I considered was Fellowes because of the dependability and the longevity of the product. At one point when that shredder was about two years old something went wrong with the motor and customer service immediately shipped me a whole new head for the product. Great customer service means alot to me! The new shredder is very quiet and really can shred 18 sheets of paper. Not that I intend to do that all the time, but I just had to check it out. The bin is much larger than my old one and I like that it pulls out from the front. I had to lift the head off the bin on my old one, so this is a big improvement. I am very pleased with this purchase and would recommend your product to anyone! Hope this one lasts as long as the other one...

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Value In my garage there were 7 file boxes containing health insurance records many with my social security number for everyone to see, credit card statements, bank statements and payment records from my employer again with my social security number on them. These records dated back to 2003 and for 15 years I've been dreading disposing of them and unwilling to pay the outrageous price to have a contractor shred them. In one week's time working about 1 hour a day I was able to shred all these documents. I no longer keep paper documents only secure files on the cloud. My shredding requirements going forward will be minimal and the 99CI Jam Proof Shredder will handle the work load just fine.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from problems with pull out basket This shredder is quiet and does the job we bought it for good. the only problem we have had so far with it, is the buttons on the pull out basket will not intact and the basket will not go back in properly. We actually had to tape the area so be can get the basket in and out.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from POWERSHRED 99cI The unit operates as described in sales material and description. It is quite and responsive. The safety features exceed needs but are reasonable to stop mis- use and injury. I have only two concerns. One, it is not clear where and how to shred a Cd, credit card, etc. And two, dust -the bin is not bag friendly even though bags are provided.The bin should be redesigned to hold a bag concealed and reshaped to facilitate empting in to a large bag and minimize dust while in operation.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect Papyrus Muncher! We stay paperless at the house, but (with 3 kids and countless accounts) have a lot of stuff to archive on the NAS and shred. I was tired of wasting time disassembling and cleaing out lesser shredders; and the others fell short when it came time to shred a credit card or CD (I used to keep a box in the car to take to the office shredder). The 99Ci is exactly what we needed. It chews tirelessly at document after document. It can eat that super-thick salesmail from American Express, AAA and anyone else who thinks a card in the envelope will force you to open it. It has a page limit, but when it comes to magazines, you can usually just through it in there or, worst case, tear it in half and throw it in. All the while, when the two year old walks up, I don't even get excited as the sense technology works and keeps fingers safely clear. I'm almost afraid he'll get used to not being corrected and someday find himslef near a lesser shredder. Staples, CD, DVD, BDR not a problem. We use the shredded material for shipping and save cost on those static friendly foam peanuts. Perfect match for a scansnap kind of house or business! Well worth the cost.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Strong, relatively quiet operation I purchased this shredder to replace a Royal 12x crosscut shredder that died on me. The SB-99Ci is a lot quieter and stronger than my former shredder. Although this shredder is rated for 17 sheets per pass; the best I can get is 12-13. But that is ample for my home office use. My Royal could only do about 7 sheets per pass, with a lot more noise. The floor casters that come with this shredder make moving the shredder easy, with very little effort.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Voracious What an appetite! Gobbles paper like the cookie monster eats cookies. REALLY beats using the incinerator for destroying sensitive records. The safe thickness indicator is also a time saver by eliminating Jam-ups.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The Beast This shredder is an animal-it works like a quiet pitbull. I've only owned it for a short time, but you can tell when something is quality made. I only use it at my home, and it's probably a little over kill, but I've gone thru 2 smaller shredders and I'm tired of them breaking after about a year. This unit will save me money in the long run, and it really doesn't take up much space. I would definately recommend this shredder.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good Shredder Over the last ten years, I tried quite few shredders most of which would die in two or three years. The last one was a staple 20 sheet shredder. It lasted one year and suddenly died. I am so far satisfied with Fellowes and I hope it will last for a long time. The most important thing about it is that it makes no noise and is very clean and safe.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from POWERSHRED 99Ci My previous shredder failed to operate after many shredding cycles. I decided I needed a high powered shredder to enable continuous shredding within the limits of the shredder. So far the POWERSHRED 99Ci has performed as advertised. The only issue noticed is that the shredding's collect on one side of the Pullout Bin and pile up which gives a false full indication resulting in having to extract the Pullout Bin and manually spread the shredding's by hand.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Runs Good I really like how this operates. The sheet rating is a bit high, but works much better than my other less-expensive Fellowes shredder. First two units came defective from Amazon. Not sure if that was shipping or what. Fellowes customer service was excellent in resolving the issues. It almost made me want to go with a different model, but the third works great. Nobody dreads the shred anymore!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 99Ci is an Awesome Schredder We purchased this product to replace a very old Fellowes shredder that was still working but didn't have the power to handle our current needs. Donated it to charity. The 99Ci impressed me with it's well thought out features and design. It is fun to use very quiet, never jammed and I just destroyed about 10 years worth of documents. Also loved the CD DVD shredder. That surprised me how well and painless it was to use. The safety feature was a brilliant idea. Also like the fact that it shows you when your paper basket is full. Like it so much I'm running around looking for more things to shred. This product gets a thumbs up from me. Thank you Fellowes!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from SUPER QUIET I just purchased this shredder as I had a mountain of personal papers to shred from my parents (also annual clean-out of kids and personal items). I wanted something that could operate for more than 5 minutes without a cool down period. This shredder fit the bill and is amazingly quiet. I would highly recommend this shredder to anyone who has a fair amount of shred on a regular basis.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worth the Price This used for my home use. I am so glad I took the leap to the higher end model. I got tired of the constant jamming of my previous model, yes it lasted a long time but this will outlive me. I appreciate the safety features of this model as well. Give this model a second look and if you do your homework as far as price you will be able to be the winner at a great price for a quality product. The shreds are larger than I thought they would be but provide needed security. Never have to open the junk mail anymore it eats it up in one swoop.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Purchased today I had a smaller Fellows shredder for many years, but it broke. This model is a big upgrade in features, size and cost. I used it today for a stack of a variety of paper types. Very quiet and shredded well. It's a bit more difficult to feed than my old one, but not bad. The waste bin is very large, but I found that you often have to tamp down the shredded paper, and some of it ends up on the floor or behind the basket. Better than the old one but still messy. My expectation is that this will be the last shredder I'll ever need.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good Office Shredder The new shredder is quieter. The disposal bin is large and doesn't fit our regular kitchen size trash bags like the old shredder. My only complaint is when shredding 1 or 2 sheets; the paper won't feed into the shredder. You have to shred 4 or more for it to feed into the shredder.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Poorly made piece of Garbage UNBELIEVEABLE - did not find out until after using for a while but the 99Ci is a piece of garbage. I own a small business and thought spending the money on a larger shredder would end up being economical as the "personal" shredders don't last very long. BIG MISTAKE jams all the time, the shredded paper clumps inside the basket and you constantly have to pull out the basket out and "rearrange" the shredded paper and there are sharp objects inside the basket that if you use liner when you go to remove it the bag gets slashed and all the contents go all over the floor.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good Shredder This is a pretty reliable shredder, but we ended up with a jam that could not be undone. This shredder is very safe. If you have small children, I would recommend this product. Thus we are receiving a new shredder as ours was still covered by the warranty.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Product I finally wore out my old shredder and bought a 99Ci. Very happy. It is quiet and much faster than my old shredder. I have had no problems with sheet capacity, at all. I also like the large bin. However, the shredded material tends to stack up quickly. So, I routinely slide out the bin and gently compress the fluffy pile of shredded mat'l. I looked at the video on this web site and I noticed that I did not receive a paper storage tray with my new shredder. Also, I have not been able to figure out which plastic bags that I should purchase for my shredder.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from GREAT!! i had a shredder from an office store and the jamming every time i put in more than 3 sheets of paper in....then sitting for an hour with a nail file and tweezers trying to unjam it......I had it! i went all out and got the 99ci and oh boy what a great machine!! it was a little pricy but well worth it! Quite, great quality...a little larger than i had anticipated but it still fits in my space where my other one was. i would definitely save your pennies for this one! great product! i haven't shredded credit cards yet but i have no doubts that it will do a tremendous job on those too.

This one works the best of any I've had. I deal with the medical community and destruction of records/files which may contain PHI or HIPPA data is important for my clients and my small consulting business. I would highly recommend this machine for anyone or small businesses that may need to destroy records/data when the expense of large destruction companies in not an option.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A Good Chioce of Shredders I bought this 99Ci to replace an older DM65C that stripped a gear (and no parts can be had). It is much quieter than the old one and handles more paper at one time. I like the larger bin, but there is not a system to hold the catch bags in place so you have to drape them over the top of the bin. I have notices that the shredded paper seems to land on one side and cuase the bin full indictor to light despiet being lots ofroom in the bin. Then you have to open the bin and redistribute the cuttings to continue. A minor annoyance, but the only reason I gave it a four star rating on the operation feature. [Myolder DM65C was worse and tended to build up cuttings until they began to jam the cutters - the reason it finally failed. ] I bought cutter oil as well and hope to run this shredder for years!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good Replacement This is my third Fellowes Shredder since 1999. This shredder replaced a DM8C which has given good service. The 99i which has casters gives mobility that was not offered by the DM8C. The bin is easy to use and remove and dump when not using bin waste bags. The Jam Proof System assists one to optimize production and will prolong the shredders life.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Quiet & Fast My previous shredder, which I killed by shredding an unopened envelope containing a quarter (who knew?), was another brand, which I bought because it was quiet and used for 5 years. This Fellowes SB-99Ci is even quieter AND FASTER.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from So much better than my old shredder! I've only had this shredder about a week but I think it is great so far. It shreds just about anything I try to put through it. If you attempt to insert too many pages it will let you know so you can take a few out. If they start through and get too tough for the shredder it will stop back the paper up a little then power it through. I've shredded bank statements in the envelope-- no problem--- old tax papers in the envelope--also no problem. This machine also does it's work quietly. I'll just have to wait and see if it lasts. I believe it will.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sweet Shredder The Fellowes SB-99Ci was my 4th shredder purchased and to say the least, the old adage of you get what you pay for comes to mind from the less expensive shredders purchased in the past. From paper jams to blade damage, the other brands all had problems after a lot of use even with me doing the recommended maintenance. Since I work from a home office and I often have my oldest daughter (10 years old) helping me with things like shredding paperwork, I was looking for a shredder that incorporated SafeSense Technology while at the same time allowing for loads of papers to be shredded at the same time. The Fellowes SB-99Ci provides me with that and much more, although I'm not too sure about the 17 sheets per pass. From what I've seen it's more like 10-12 sheets, but then again, I do shred a lot of envelopes along with papers as well. Overall this is a very sweet shredder. With it being safe, first and foremost, quiet and dependable I can say that I'm very satisfied with my purchase thus far.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love it! I have years' worth of records to shred and had completely worn out my old Fellowes P-5+. Went to the 99Ci and am delighted with how well it works in comparison withthe old shredder. It definitely is jam resistant, eats up staples like candy, shreds old credit cards, CD's, etc. as well - and shreds the pieces much better than the old strip shredder. It does a lot more sheets at once than the old shredder - but not as many as it advertises. I like that it shows me if I am trying to shred too many pages at a time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Purchase This is a replacement for my previous Fellowes shredder. This new one is very good and does an excellent job of shredding into tiny pieces. Good quiet operation and fast and a good price. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good shredder to use in their home for personal use or home office business.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very Satisfied I have no complaints about this product at all. It has lived up to all my expectations. The one criticism stems from the protection of the shipping carton. The edges were well protected, but the sides were not. UPS, tried their best to damage the unit with holes in the sides, that were not protected.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Shredder We bought this shredder for a small office to replace our old one that started acting up. This one has a much larger capacity and works well. It is much quieter than our older fellows shredder but it is not silent as advertised. It is nice that it has wheels so we can easily move it around. It looks like it will be very easy to empty but it does drop paper behind the trash bin sometimes so that will need to be cleaned out from time to time. It is not as messy as our old one but like other shredders it is not 100% mess free.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Purchase Ever I work in a very busy office. Of all the shredders we've had in the past, the Fellowes 99Ci is the best by far. It is extremely durable and lasts a long time. The wheels make it easy to move around and it shreds the papers so there is no chance of confidential information being exposed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent decision Being a sheriff, I budgeted two (2) shredders in the FY '08-'09 budget. These "commercial" shredders were purchased from a locally owned office supply business, who we had and continue to do business with. Within months, both developed problems. One with a motor and the other with the cutters. The business would not stand behind these shredders and as a result, I refused to purchase anymore shredders from them, for the office. The local business also knew I was unhappy with their lack of service and support on the shredders. When I researched the SB-99Ci and the excellent warranty, I gave in and purchased one (1) unit, as a trial. This unit is in my office and I along with my office manager are very pleased with its performance and the warranty that came with it. It is my intention to purchase another one in the near future for the office.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Pretty good not great My spouse and I are cleaning up years of paperwork that our parents accumulated. The shredder was delivered to our front door Sunday after lunch. We had 5 thirty gallon bags of shredded paper by the end of the day. Jammed it a few times and tripped the overheated safety a couple times but quite a load in one day. Downers - the paper bin fit wasn’t perfect, the paper bin was messy to dump, and you’ll need to vacuum up a small amount of small paper particles that don’t stay in or make it into the bin. Also the bin is a little on the cheap side - several of the plastic rivets that fasten the corrugated plastic bin to its frame came apart and had to be pressed back together- hope they stay together. Otherwise they might get lost in a bin dump. I didn’t use the bin bags - too small for the large quantity we shredded.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Schredding made simple We are a small office with daily schredding. Years ago we purchased a schredder from an office supply company. It was one belonging to the office supply company. Although under warranty we had to take it back for a replacement 2 or 3 times. Finally, they gave us the option of taking yet another one of their schredders or to apply the replacement price towards another schredder. I chose Fellows as I have a small one at home and it is a work horse. I have had it for years. As the person given the task of purchasing a new schredder.....it was a no brainer. It was going to be a Fellows. That purchase was made some 5 or 6 years ago and when it finally "died" (This is the Grief Recovery Center), once again I chose Fellows.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from null I was ready to test the claim to quietness and the number of pages it could shred at one time, and yes, it certainly does what it says. The sound while shredding almost 17 pages at once (some with staples in them), was like a quiet purr, and it shredded with ease in no time. I haven't tested the CDs or credit cards yet, but I have a good feeling, I'll not be disappointed.

Best thing we've purchased for the office in a long time!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent shredder for small office Quiet and efficient shredder. Has wheels to move around easily. Can shred up to 17 sheets at one pass. Height is good so you don't have to bend when using it. Only drawback I have noted is that you really need to buy/use the plastic bags to catch the cut up paper as they are so small and fall everywhere when you empty it when in full. This creates an extra expense. Overall happy with the purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best shredder I've ever owned! The Fellowes 99Ci arrived 3 days after I ordered it through Amazon. It had great reviews, but it was a little over my budget. Because I have owned at least 4 shredders in the past, which never lasted more than a year, it was time to bite the bullet and find a good one. I am not disappointed! This shredder surpasses all my expectations and was well worth the money. It was a little taller than I expected but it fits perfectly next to my desk. It is super quiet, the design is one you want to show off and the bells and whistles are outstanding. I know if I'm putting in too many pages by the indicator light and it shows when the basket is getting full. It will even shred small paper clips and staples! I just love this shredder and would recommend it to anyone.

IT EASILY GOES THROUGH UP TO 18 PAGES PER PASS AND IF YOU TRY TO PUT 19 PAGES IN IT STOPS AND WILL NOT CONTINUE THE FEED. I AM AMAZED THAT YOU CANNOT JAM THIS DEVICE.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice home use Preforms very well. Motor not as heavy duty as stated, claims 17 sheet capacity, the most I have been able to run through is 10 sheets of 20 lb. paper and machine turns off. If this doesn't bother a person no big deal, I run normally 5 sheets at a time and its fine. Safety feature is very nice for people with small kids works flawlessly. The 9 gallon bin shuts off after 6 gal but that's 2-4 weeks shredding at home. All in all a very nice machine a little over priced but nice.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fellowes SB-99ci The first thing that struck me about my new shredder was the extremely quiet operation. I have owned several shredders but never have I owned one this quiet. The next thing I noticed was the way the machine "straigtens out" papers which are not vertically inserted, thereby eliminating jambs. Also, the machine can "power thru" batches that are a little too thick, eliminating the need to reverse the feed, separate the pages, and feed in a smaller batch. I like the feature which shuts the shredder down if the motor overheats, saving the machine from major overheating failure. All in all, a great machine for the money.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A "Must Have!" I'm a math professor and also own a small business, so a reliable shredder is essential. This is the second time I've purchased this shredder model. The first one was loyal, hard-working, and resisted (almost) all of my attempts to overload it. It finally gave up and the last jam could not be fixed. I bought the same model without hesitation and this time purchased the two-year maintenance contract, just in case. :)

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Reliable This is the third shredder that we have used. All the others in comparison were Mickey Mouse shredders that last but a year. One was replaced twice within 6 months by another manufacturer. After that, we decided to stop fooling around and go for Fellowes. While it may seem pricey to some, to us it was a no brainer. When you think of the cost of replacing 3 shredders in 3 years we could have saved the cost and then some and should have went right to Fellowes. My staff many times try to grab handfuls of paper and shred them, this machine handles that - it has never jammed and will reject handfuls of paper. The CD/DVD - Credit Card shredding capability is excellent - tiny little pieces never worry about theft of data. We also like the fact that it shuts down when anything but paper or CD/DVD, Credit Cards touch the slots. Half of our shredding are CD/DVD's the other half paper. The wastebasket handles large size shredding bags and doesn't have to emptied often. When it is full it is full. No need to press down the shredded material to fill the bag. We make shredding runs once a week and the unit will shut down to cool down after about 30 minutes. Good feature that prevents overheating. The shut down lasts approximately 15 - 20 minutes. I recommend this unit without reservation - even for light users. After all, you only get what you pay for; ...and Fellowes has proven to us to be reliable and functional. With what we spent on the other 3 shredders prior to this, we could have bought 2 more units. ...Oh, and did I mention, this unit is extremely quiet - another excellent quality.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Shredder This shredder is very good quality, excellent features. Really like the "jam-proof" feature which lets you know if you are feeding too many sheets thru the shredder. The cross-cut shredding is the reason I purchased this shredder, and the silent-technology as well. Those were the two most important features, aside from the price. The only drawback I would say is I wish it would've had a larger sheet shredding capacity, but for the price we paid this cannot be beat. Overall I am extremely happy with this purchase!

It is durable, jam resistant, quiet, low maintenance, and has a high sheet capacity making for faster shredding time. I have owned this shredder for eleven months, without a problem, and highly recommend it. Fellowes shredder quality speaks for itself. I demonstrated my shredder to a friend, who bought the SB-79Ci model.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Better than expected Sleek, professional looking - this shredder is so nice. After struggling for 10 years with a substandard, cranky shredder, we scraped up money from the budget for a new one. This is amazing, it can shred more than one page...shreds CDs too. This is like going from analog to digital. Really nice! Supposedly it can shred 17 pages at one time, but I'd never try that - our employees were always jamming the shredder, so hopefully this will make life a little easier on me, the shredder unjammer! We hope to get years of service out of our new shredder. Thank you Fellowes for making such a nice machine!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Find Another Bought the Fellowes 99Ci shredder to replace another Fellowes shredder that stopped working. (Fellowes refused to stand behind the warranty on that one, even though the cutters were still covered by its 7 year warranty.) I have no idea how they rate this shredder for 17 pages per pass. If I run two 20# sheets through or one piece of card stock type of junk mail, the little meter on it goes all the way up to red, indicating that it's too much! I ran two sheets at a time through this shredder for four minutes and it overheated! WTH?! Piece of junk & I'm returning it. Not as quiet as the last one, either.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Buy! Our office has been sharing an older shredder that has simply become worn out. The SB-99Ci is a great buy! This shredder operated quietly and quickly. I have not had any jams and the basket is large and doesn't require constant emptying. I would recommend this shredder to anyone looking for the whole package.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good Buy We have 9 employees using our shredder. We've gone through 2 shredders in the past year. This one is working better than either of the other shredders. We work with a lot of confidential files and thus have a lot of shredding. The large waste bin is great! We were constantly cleaning out the bin on our other shredder which filled so quickly causing several paper jams. This shredder indicates when the bin is full before a jam even occurs. We are very satisfied thus far. Also, the sheets of paper capacity is great as well and the shredder indicates when you're trying to feed through too many sheets at once.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from WORST PURCHASE EVER This shredder is not for constant use. First thing in the morning you can shred for 15 minutes at the most and then you have to let it cool for 45 minutes. Every hour you get about 1 1/2 medium kitchen bags of shredded content. We constantly oil it but it overheats after 15 minutes of use. I even tried feeding 5 pages at a time and this does not work

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good Shredder - but question I am very pleased with the operation of this shredder. In the past several months it has begun to produce some sort of tone as it finishes a 8.5x11 sheet. It seems to be a type of warning tone. I cannot find anything in the manual that mentions this condition.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Does what it says It works. Plan and simple. It's well constructed, and performs as advertised. Catch bin is large. I have one constructive criticism and one feature request. The criticism is that the side pocket can be knocked off too easily. Not a big deal, but would be nice if, when you connected it, it stayed. The featre request is that we have an optional catch pocket we could temporarily put inside to catch DVD/CD/Credit Card shredded pieces. This way it would be easier to keep things separated for recycling purposes. But, all in all, very glad with purchase. Thank you Fellowes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 99ci just used the 99ci for the first time. most of the reviews i read were right on. had no problems with the shredder it self. preforms great. no jamming and i did 2 yrs. of business tax returns in a matters of hours instead of days. the only thing i would like to see is with the top part of the draw. when you close it, it feels like it's going to break. the top handle needs some more support. and while they are at it, they may want to figure a little better way to activate the shredder when closing the draw. sometimes you miss the little niche that they have. other then that this is a great machine.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Shredder Purchase! After our old noisy shredder (different brand) finally and thankfully bit the dust I purchased a SB99ci. I had read other reviews for a similar Fellowes shredder and decided that this would fit our needs. We have a 12 person office with about 5 people shredding on a regular basis. The machine is quiet, efficient and crosscuts efficiently. The finger guard works very well as does the CD and credit card shred function. Although we would don't shred more than 7 pages at a time, we have had only one jam in 3 months that cleared easily. I would buy another in a heartbeat!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from problem closing door I bought this machine in July 2013. It is heavy duty, jam proof, etc. The problem I have is the door is hard to close and the casters have broken twice. Fellowes was excellent in replacing the body the first time but now they have broken again. Initially I thought it was because I moved it on carpet but this time it is on solid material, not carpet. I believe the problem is that I cannot close the door without a strong push and that jars the machine and breaks the plastic material holding the casters in place. I am wondering if there are any heavy duty machines with a metal body holding the casters or is something wrong with my door.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Loving it! I bought this as a replacement for a shared office shredder that died (we had the old one for years). The complaint about the old one is that it frequently jammed, and still, some people kept trying to stuff too many papers in at one time. This shredder as an indicator with a colored scale (green-yellow-orange-red) that warns you if you are putting too much paper in. Which is a great visual for the person who kept stuffing too much in! It was easy to unpack from its package, and has a great design. We are loving it! Hopefully it will last the test of time and be with us for a long time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The correct size for a small office If you have a 12" tall pile of shredding each day, this shredder is for you. Anything less than this size is underpowered. Has a 3 prong plug, which I prefer. Indicator lights to stop you from accidentally feeding too much paper at one time. Is quiet. I'm not crazy about the clear plastic flip feed thing for CD-Roms but I guess they want you to feed them dead center and that helps. Its thick enough but I'm just afraid of breaking it. I'd rather it be a separate feed slot that leads to the same place.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from More than enough I had a middle of the line-up shredder for ten years by another company. With me having more duties at home via teleworking, that shredder finally gave out. Although I have had my 99Ci for only nine days, I was impressed how quiet it was and how easily it took care of the backlog of sensitive trash that had accumulated after my other shredder went kaput. I did a trial run with all of its features, and it was at least as good as advertised. Although I can't say much on durability after just nine days, it is solid and effortless so I do have some confidence this will last a long time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love my shredder I find shredding oddly therapeutic, all the more so with the SB-99Ci. The jam-proof capabilities are very good, though once or twice I've had to toggle it back and forth when I've overloaded paper. At first I thought the basket was a little difficult to set in place after emptying, but if I push it in from the bottom, it clicks into place. It seems durable and well-designed overall, so I expect it will be a good investment.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from For Home Use, It's Great I've had this shredder about 6 months now and am very pleased. I did give it 5 stars on everything but would have used a 4.5 rating on some items had it been an option. In other words, the unit is not perfect but it's better than just "good" (4 stars). I've never had a real jam, but it's pretty easy to get the unit to "pause" and go into reverse to "clear a jam" that's not really there. You can do that by either trying to feed in some wrinkled paper or by trying to feed some more sheets into to the unit a little too quickly while it's trying to finish up the previous sheets. It always recovers from these "false jams" and proceeds to shred the items that have been entered, with the "thickness indicator lights" all blinking. The only other problem, which has been a problem with every shredder I've ever owned, is the habit of the shredded material "piling up" on one side of the bin directly under the cutters. This requires the operator to stop shredding frequently to redistribute the shreds evenly across the bin so that shredding does not stop prematurely before the bin is full. I do like the idea of the plastic bag to catch the shredded material. When the bag is full, I empty it into a larger container. Then when that large container is full, I take to a local recycling location for disposal. When I bought the 99Ci, I ordered extra "performance oil" and have been applying that as directed in the owner's manual after each full bin of shredding. I've also run a few credit cards and CDs through the unit. I"m really happy with this shredder. It gets used almost daily and, on some occasions such as when cleaning out old credit card and other miscellaneous statements out of the file cabinet, it gets used a LOT! So far, I've had no problems worth reducing my 5-star rating.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Still messy This is at least the third shredder I've bought of various brands. This is the most expensive and is so new I hardly know how to rate it on most items. In the short time I've had it, it certainly has shredded everything I've thrown at it. It's intelligent enough to tell you when you've given it too much -- which should go far in making it jam proof. It's touchy safety feature seems to make it a little slower than the Ativa it replaced to grab onto the load and grind it up. (How much do we really need to interfere with Darwin on some of this stuff?) But I have one major gripe with this shredder that is the same as with the others: You might as well haul out the vacuum cleaner when you empty the bin because you're going to have a mess. I can buy garbage bags that will fit over the bin, but why can't a simple hand grip be molded into the bottom of these bins? Don't the designers ever empty these things?

I have had no paper jams, no problems and I love using it. Our office has a heavy duty very large shredder that I have to walk a mile to get to, I shred a large volume of paper on a daily basis. I needed something a little smaller that would sit right by my desk and I could just turn and shred. The Fellows 99Cl did the trick. Thank you for such an easy and useful product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Replacement Purchase Bought this shredder to replace an older model Fellows workhorse that lasted over 16 years. This has a very nice design and look, and it is so much quieter! Haven't had it long, but it really seems to be a very good product. Very happy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best shredder for the money. Shopped several brands on the internet and found this model to review the best for this price range. Another family member had purchased the same model and recommended it to me. My old Royal quit and there were no parts available to fix it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Mixed review Shredder shreds well and quietly -- for 20-30 minutes, then overheats. One major problem which should be fixable with minor design changes has to do with shreds of paper getting into base of machine, under basket, then onto the floor whenever I change shredder bags. The mess from this then travels through the office and home on shoes. It should be possible to redesign the shredder basket so this no longer occurs. Also, while rated for 17 sheets, it gags sometimes on as few as eight.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worst Shredder Ever I have owned several Fellowes shredders and have been happy with all of them except this most recent one. It is supposed to have a 17 sheet capacity but the red light comes on when putting in an envelope or as little as 2 sheets. As well, where the cutting mechanism is situated on the top of the machine, the "basket full" light comes on because the shredded paper all falls on the left of the basket. I would not recommend this shredder to anyone.

I chose not to put on the wheels since I do not need to move it from my chosen location. I shredded several pieces of paper and junk mail. Works good. I am VERY IMPRESSED how quiet it is compared to other shredders I have used or owned in the past.

The unit itself is heavier and our productivity is enhanced by its greater capacity.We would be pleased to recommend it to other small offices.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from You get what you pay for When it comes to Shredders I learned a long time ago you really do get what you pay for. I have a small home business and really did not need such a large shredder, but I got tired of emptying out bags and wanted a shredder with larger capacity. This shredder fit the bill for me. It is as they say 100% jam proof (but then again, why would you want to even try to jam it). And it performs all of its duties as advertised. I fits nicely in my home office. Since it sits sideways, it take up much less room than a "front loading" shredder. But what really impressed me was how quiet is is compared to shredders I've had in the past. Let's face it, at some point all shredders implode. This one seems to be well built and should last for quite a while if not overworked. I think the biggest problem with shredders is that many people pick a shredder that is undersized for the jobs it needs to handle and burns out quicker. I went for the bigger one with the hopes I will have it a while. I recommend it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Jam Proof Purchased in March and being used ever since. Truely jam proof. If the shredder is struggling to shred the paper because too much was put in, the lights go up to top page amount and it stops. Also you can put a plastic bag in and the shreded paper falls right into the bag. Clean up is easy. Just remove the filled bag and insert a new one. Mess free! It's great. Can also shred credit cards and cds. Best shreder ever! Has great warranty compared to other brands.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Shredder! I have used my SB-99Ci for about a month now. It is quiet! No irritating loud machinery and grinding noises like most shredders exhibit. It handles over 10 sheets of paper at a time with no problems whatsover. I haven't tried to max it out yet but about 10 at a time is great for my use. It is stylish and ruggedly built. The front opening container makes it easy to empty. I would prefer a slighly smaller cut size but the current size is OK. I am very pleased with this shredder and recommend it highly.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from BEST SMALL OFFICE SHREDDER FOR THE $$$$ I have owned several Fellowes shredders in the past and all of them have withstood the test of time. The 99Ci is by far the most powerful small office shredder I've owned. The SafeSense technology is a must have nowadays. The 99Ci is extremely quite, the only noise that is noticeable is the paper being shredded to bits. Once you become familiar with the 99Ci, you can turn of the Jam prevention feature. With a 2 year manufacture warranty, I am confident this thing will last at least 3-5 years of what I consider heavy use. Good job Fellowes on another bullet proof product.

The unit's casters make it easy to move whenever necessary and the unit is steady.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A+ Shredder This is every thing that i wanted in a shredder from being able to shred large amounts of paper to the safety touch feature to the extra large 9 gallon bin. The machine is quite and it's easy to move around thanks to the casters. The machine did over heat once after 20 minutes of constant shredding but not a problem, it cooled down in 40 minutes. I shredded a 30 gallon bin of old paper that included staples but the shredder didn't even blink. I do oil it after the bin is full like the manufacture recommends and I think this will be the last shredder that I will have to buy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Looking for the TOUGHEST Shredder? If you want the TOUGHEST shredder which offers an excellent value for your dollar, then buy the Fellowes 99Ci Powershredder! Over my 35 year career in corporate America, I worked in many offices around the globe and learned from experience, that Fellowes makes the best paper shredders. So after I took early retirement and opened up my own consulting company, I purchased two Fellowes shredders for our office. These were fine and served us well over the past 5-6 years, but as my business grew, I decided I needed a tougher and more durable shredder. After much research, and reading so many positive reviews, I decided to purchase two Fellowes 99Ci Powershredders. Am I glad I did!!! These machines are incredible! Although they recommend only 17 pages at a time, I've easily shredded over 20 at a time, and it slices right through them like butter. The same goes for credit cards and DVD's! And the 99Ci is unbelievably quiet. In fact, it's the quietest shredder I've ever seen! Moreover, I love the fact it has a jam proof system. It can be such a pain when other machines jam and you have to stop and take 20 minutes to clean out the cutters. Finally, I love the safety features on the 99Ci, as I no longer have to worry about a woman catching her hair or a man catching his tie in the shredder while bending over the machine. Trust me these things can happen, but not with the 99Ci. So if you're looking for a high quality, reasonably priced shredder which is the toughest machine in the market, the Fellowes 99Ci is the one! Thank you Fellowes, for your continued innovation in developing quality products and for your outstanding customer service over the years. Sincerely, CJ MacD A satisfied customer for over 40 years

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Careful removing filled bag The SB-99Ci does a good job of grinding up paper, regular staples and CDs which is why you buy the thing to start with. 17 pages pushes the limit but it does work well for personal use. The “jam proof” feature works. Problem is the disposal system needs improvement. As you grind away a large ball of shredded material accumulates under the cutting mechanism and the red light comes on and the machine stops. You open the drawer and clear the machine by pushing the cut up material to the bottom. You do this several times and the bag becomes filled. Then, when you start to pull out the bag full of shredded material it gets a large rip in the side of the bag, Turns out the little window they provide on the side of the machine to let you see when it is full protrudes into the basket and has a sharp edge which snags the bag into which you have pushed the ground up paper. Remedy is to change the bag more often and not to compact the waste too much.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Happy I finally invested in a new shredder! Not only did I simply need a better shredder that would consistently shred, I needed one that did not require me to lift the heavy "lid-motor" to empty the small paper bin. The only problems I had setting the Powershred 99Ci was pulling off the box (because I could not lift out the 99C1) and then putting on the wheels. The directions only had drawings, so I did not know if I could pound the wheels in. Yes, you can --- A heavy shoe with a rubber sole did not crack wheels yet got them firmly into the holes. Love this machine - it does its job!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Satisfied with Purchase My office was replacing a very old 19-gallon Fellowers shredder that had been out of order for quite some time and was taking up too much space. We went with Fellowers again because it's a brand we trust and are very satisfied with our purchase. The smaller size fits our needs (office of 8, with minimal day-to-day shredding) and this model is a lot more attractive then the previous. The jam resistance was a major drawing point and has not disappointed! I have yet to try the CD/DVD guide, but appreciate the capability. I am only disappointed that paper cannot fit landscape through the shredder and with the noise level. While not as loud as other shredders I've used, it certainly is not a "silent shred" as advertised... more of any angry grinding (yes, even when oiled).

The older machine required the door to be closed on the room it occupied, and other people near by could not talk on the telephone during operations. We are very impressed and hope that we will get many years of service without jams.

I had records and receipts all the way back from 2003 and had to get rid of all that paper. This purchase was definitely worth it and it never jammed and shredded right through all of the staples.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Super Quite I could not believe how quiet this shredder is compared to my last one. Seems to handle thick stacks of paper with no problems. I hope this satisfaction continues, I highly recommend this shredder. I believe you could shred beside a baby sleeping and it wouldn't disturb it. 2 year warranty is an added plus.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Shredder for the money I have ever seen I was in need of a new shredder. I went to client that had just purchased the Fellows 99Ci 100% Jam Proof Cross-Cut Shredder. I watched them as they shredded their records and I was sold on the product. I left their and went directly to Office Depot where I made the purchase. When I got it home I set it up and immediately started using it. It was awesome. It preformed perfectly. I could not be more pleased. I would strongly recommend this shredder to anyone who needs a shredder.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love it, love it, love it!!! I had had it with the rooty-poot shredders. When I decided to open my business that must honor HIPPA guidelines, I knew I had no time to mess with paper jams or only shredding 3-5 pages at one time. Enter SB-99Ci. I chose it because it claimed to be 100% Jam-proof...it was not just a claim...it is fact! It really does shred 17 pages. I have no problems with the shredder-it shreds flawlessly. I even find myself looking for things to shred...the thicker the pile the better! And it is so quiet! It is amazing! I can't comment on the warranty because I have no need for it, but it does come with some type of warranty. I also love that it is compact, has a side pocket to store paper "to be shred" and it really does shred credit cards, too. Love it, love it, love it!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Unbelievable Shredder From the moment I opened the box, I was impressed. The overall look of the the shredder is sleek and modern, while also looking like it is built tough. After the easy setup, I ended up burning through a decent stack of papers in no time. Even the person in customer service who usually does the shredding was impressed. It is extremely quiet. So quiet in fact that anyone can use it while other people are on the phone. So for a small office consisting of 6 people, it's a perfect fit. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a durable, good looking, quiet, and inexpensive shredder.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The Last Shredder You'll Need I've owned this shredder for a few years now - it replaced a series of shredders that sit atop a waste basket. I just finished shredding my 2017 files and was amazed (once again) at how flawlessly it shredded - no jams, no overheating, no anything other than powering through everything I fed it. I routinely put through enough paper to raise the sheet feed level to red, and, still, it takes it all. I shredded for about an hour without pause except to empty the container. Yes, it's a little big for a home office, but given how well it works, and works, and works, it's a small price to pay. I don't think I'll ever need another shredder and recommend it highly.

Just easier to empty the basket

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic Fellows! After making purchases of average low cost shredders and burning them out I made the leap to a higher price more commercial type shredders which was a lower cost shredder by FELLOWS and yes brought it to it's death after a long extended use. Being a satisfactory unit and performing quite well searched for the same manufacture but step up to it's better model the Fellows 99CI. We have used it extensively since the purchase and this is a Fantastic Fellow performing even better and we are pleased beyond words. Yes it's more expensive but by the time you burn out the cheap units on the market and being only capable of Shredding for short periods with the cheap versions, your time is worth more by purchasing the 99CI you can utilize continuing shredding and get the job done! Like I said it's a Fantastic Fellow Shredder!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Grandpa Shreds My 86 year old father-in-law shreds newspaper and proprietary documents almost daily. We use the shredded paper as bedding for our chickens (20) in the backyard. We simply spread the soiled shredded paper on the grass and mulch it and then it disappears as it is biodegradable. The Fellows is the third shredder we have used and just keeps on shredding and almost never jams. The chickens love the shredded paper and are delivering 16-18 eggs daily. We donate 8-9 dozen eggs to the local food back each week.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good performance This is a very good, rugged shredder that I use in my small office. The only reason I didn't give it a five star rating is because of the fact that the shredded pieces are so large that they don't compact. It shuts down when full and gets full fairly quickly for its size because of the size of shredded pieces of paper. If the pieces were smaller they would compact naturally and the bin wouldn't have to be emptied so often! Other than that, I have no negatives for this shredder. Very good product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A Jaws of a Shredder Purchased this Shredder based off reading many reviews. This is a replacement shredder, previous was an Ativa cx12w that served me well but finally gave out. If I had to make a comparison between the two, it would be David & Goliath. When they say size matters, it does when it comes to shredders. There is no comparison, this Jaws of a machine shreds like it says, is quiet, and has a huge holding container for the shredded paper. Only use this for home personal use but could easily be placed in an office environment. I take the shredded paper and then turn it into a renewable source, paper logs which we use in our fire pit during the winter months. Have never had to gather or purchase firewood. Great shredder that can handle big shredding, you won't be disappointed. Shane

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Shredder Our school purchased this shredder after our old one stopped working. We wanted one that wasn't as noisy as the old one and that would shred more sheets at one time. This shredder is very quite and it doesn't get hot very fast, so you can shred longer. I do, however, wish that the wheels had locks so that it didn't move around as easy and that the bin had a tighter closure, it seems to vibrate open sometimes. It also seems to not level out the shredded paper you still have to push it down or empty it before it is completely full.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Shred or not to shred. I wanted to supplement my existing shredder with one that could cross-cut shred and shred credit cards, CDs, etc. My existing cross-cut shredder cannot shred credit cards, CDs or more than 2 sheets of paper at a time. It has a spiral steel cutter that is not very efficient, but does micro-cut shredding of my critically important papers (shreds to 1/8" squares). The shredder manufacturer is not known. The Fellowes Powershred 99Ci shredder is clearly superior in every way for my needs as an individual. It is quiet, fast cross-cut shreds of multiple papers at a time, easy to use, has safety features and does shred CDs as well! The shredded paper is not a micro-cut, but is fully capable of providing security protection for important papers. The Fellowes 99Ci Powershred unit I believe is more than capable to meet the needs of most families for protection, security and privacy.

I was pleasantly surprised with how quiet the unit is when shredding and with its ability to shred a reasonable stack of papers smoothly. I do wish that there was a more secure way to attach the included bags in the bin as the paper pushes the bag edges down as it fills the bin even with the plastic 'pegs' on the front corners.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Ordeal by fire! I run a large apartment complex, so the volume of shredding goes on and on! This product doesn't cough or gag on paper like the cheap units do. I have been punishing the heck out of this shredder, and I give this producrt a 2 thumbs up vote!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great shredder, does what is advertised This shredder takes triple the volume of the last shredder which was also a Fellowes. It makes the job that much quicker, Only downside is when you empty the drawer of shredded material, the leftovers from the shredding mechanism falls on the bottom of the unit which you have to brush out before replacing the drawer. Great overall and fast to use.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Product, Repeat Purchase Working in healthcare, we depend on shredders as much as any other product. The Powershredder 99ci has been awesome for our clinic. We never have issues. It's lightweight, but also incredibly durable--for the amount of people using it, we should have experienced more issue, but the intuitive and easy to read design helps us avoid jamming issues. It worked so well, that I ordered one for our executive leadership office.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Really good purchase so far First day owning this shredder and so far has worked really well. No jams, nice big bin, stylish and classy. I'm putting in some envelopes to be shredded and it's powering through them. Every once in a while the envelope is a little to big to handle and I have to coax the machine to take it and that is the only downfall. I guess i'll have to see if it still works the same way a year from now and if it does then i'll be a happy customer :) Very Quiet and love the safety features.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Machine I had another brand of H.D. machine and it was a total pain to operate. It would jamb almost continually and I would have to take it apart to clean it out. The last time i used it and shut it down it refused to power up and would run in reverse only before it totally gave up running in that direction. I made as on-line search and found out the company also gave up. Thus I started looking for a company that was still around and decided that Fellows was the way to go. I have not used the machine a lot thus far but it seems real nice to have one that doesn't jamb up! It runs quietly and cuts the paper up nice and small. I am very satisfied thus far.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 99CI Terrific machine, but needs a larger pull out bin to keep up with the volume of paper it's capable of shredding. I would have given it 5 stars if I didn't have to continually adjust and/or remove bin contents- which also increases the volume of shredded pieces ending up outside the bin.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from SB-99Ci Shredder The unit was received within 2-days. I took it out of the box and set it up without the wheels which I've kept just in case I decide to install them. The handy bin to hold papers to be shredded, I'm using to hold plastic bags to line the shredder bin drawer and the lubricant for the shredder. I've found the unit to be quiet and very efficient. I especially like the safety features of the unit. The only drawback I've found so far is if you stick a small item into the shredder, the unit might turn on but possibly won't "grab" what you're shredding. Other than that, it's great. You do need to open the drawer periodically to spread the shred around so that it doesn't stack up in one place but I've had to do that with all my other shredders.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from SEAMLESS This powerful little shredder is both quiet and intelligent. It doesn't just inform you when the shredding bag is full, but also when you've inserted too many documents. This helps prevent any paper jams and results in a superior and seamless shredding performance. My only complaint is that it is somewhat difficult not to make a mess when changing the bag, etc.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The Powershred 99Ci This machine operates very efficiently and quickly, with very little noise and virtually no jamming. Only on one occasion did some paper get caught, but following the easy instructions to release the paper solved the problem immediately. I am very please with this purchase. The only difficulty was attempting to attach the rollers. They did not snap into place and I could not get them to stay in place, even after several attempts. However, the machine operates well without them.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Jam Proof Sensor Restrictive My only complaint is that many times the jam proof sensor will inhibit shredding when sheet thickness is less than 17 sheets, sometimes as low as 2 sheets or the thickness of a regular envelop with nothing in it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Powershred Recommendation I like the shredder. It is very quiet, the bin is nice and large and it works as promised -- shredding 17 sheets in one pass! When I first got the machine it did not work, so i called the Fellowes support staff. They were patient and very helpful -- knowing just what to do to recalibrate the machine since shipment. Like with all shredders, the paper gets behind and under the bin and onto the floor but that is to be expected. I have only had it for about 2 weeks so I cannot speak to the durability of longevity of the equipment, but so far, I am very pleased.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A Cut Above This is my first larger sized Fellowes shredder and compared to the smaller Fellowes, this is definitely a shredder that is a cut above (pun intended). I'm impressed by how many sheets this shredder can handle without choking and how quite it is. I also like the fact that I can put plastic bags in the bin compartment which definitely helps with disposal of shredded paper. This is the most money I've ever spent on a shredder, but it's definitely worth every penny.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good but poor design I purchased the 99Ci shredder since I needed a bigger one to meet my needs. I was happy when it arrived. Overall it is a good shredder but it seriously lacks the quality necessary for the build. In particular, since taken out of the box (before the first use even) the drawer (where the clippings are stored) is very hard to close. In fact, at times it takes multiple tries in order to properly close it. This shredder is expensive when compared to the others for home office/household use so I was expecting a higher quality build. Unfortunately, that was not the case. While I am happy with the shredding capabilities, I am very disappointed with the design. I would likely NOT purchase this same shredder again.

It's compact, has wheels, and fits into a small corner near a desk easily. Definitely one of my better purchases online.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Quiet Workhorse After tearing up our last shredder, this one seems to be holding up so far. If we can keep it oiled and give it time to cool off, I think it should last a while. Don't expect perfection. The opening for paper is very tight for 8.5x11 and it won't let you shred more than 17 sheets, so patience is required.

The SB-99Ci did everything I could ask of it. Even if I pushed and overloaded it a little, it hesitated, backed up a little and then powered through. In two days I had 12 large trash bags of shredded paper out at the curb for recycling. This is one impressive unit and still going strong.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Shredder I've Used to Date Got this shredder (the SB-99Ci) back in February 2009 and have been using it since. No jams yet, and it shreds through everything I've thrown at it. I mainly shred junk and sensitive mail and usually stock pile them and shred them in one sitting. The 17 sheet capacity on this thing is awesome! It's wide enough to accommodate most shreds without much action on your part other than feeding things to shred through. In the past, I've used and broken several cheaper, lesser capacity, lesser quality shredders (not Fellowes brand) so I can definitely tell the quality difference between them. The initial price may be (seem to be) a bit high but it's worth every dollar. Just as a note, I didn't check off 'Service Guarantee' or 'Warranty' for 'Pros' for this machine, as I have yet to need to use either. I did register my machine when I first got it though. Bottom line is, if you shred things on a regular basis and want to save yourself some time and hassle of replacing jammed up shredders, get one of these. You won't regret your investment in this machine.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from PowerShred 99ci This is my second Fellowes shredder. Last one was acquired in 1989 as Surplus US Government property.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Herculean Performance! With the passing of our parents we are faced with the Herculean task of shredding boxes full of sensitive papers. Our little old shredders couldn't even begin to meet the task. In fact, one of our little shredders fried and died trying. Now we are plowing through the mountains of papers. The only thing slowing us down is emptying the bin every 10 minutes. Love it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Replaced same model that worked very hard for 10 years! This is the perfect size and model for a home office where I shred both personal and business junk mail and documents. I had a good 10 years with the last shredder of the same model. I told myself to always buy Fellowes as they were always there to help whenever I had a problem. Three years ago when I thought it was time to get a new one, a wonderful gentleman walked me through some easy steps and I was surprised to see the shredder was working again and lasted another 3 years! The customer service is very helpful, even long after the 2 year warranty is finished. I just unpacked my replacement today and needed to ask a couple of questions about attaching the wheels and registering the new model. There is never a long wait on the phone and the people who answer are easy to understand and very helpful. This new shredder is much more quiet than the older model of the same number. The only thing different is the bin is made of a lighter weight material. This is not a negative thing as it is lighter to pick up and empty. I am keeping my old bin from the 10 year old model as a spare as it fits this newer one. The new shredder does have the small holes on the side to attach the small holder on the side, but the holder is not included with this newer one. I use this to keep extra plastic bags and my oil bottle handy. I just attached the one from my older model and all is well! As I use this every day it is important to me to have a product that is good quality and has great backup help when I need it (which is only about every 7 -10 years of use) No complaints! Thank you Fellowes!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Shredder I've Ever Had I love how quiet it is and the safety and cutting features it has. Shredding junk mail with credit cards etc is so much faster because I won't have to spend so much time opening up the envelope and taking out things that can't be shredded. It is also the perfect size for our home. I love that it has wheels so we can tuck it out of the way when it's not in use and moved to where we need it when it's needed. I am so glad it has a pull-out bin. That makes it so much easier to empty then my old shredder where I had to lift the shredder up off the bin. That was always so awkward and messy. I am so happy that we bought it and would recommend it to every household that gets junkmail and doesn't want to worry about identify theft.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Terrible experience with Powershred 99Ci Ten days after delivery of the 99Ci, the machine has become unusable. Although I remove all staples and paper clips, the machine has stopped shredding. Seven days after purchase I was forced to insert no more than four pages or the machine would jam. Next, the shredded paper would not drop into the paper bin causing it stop working, sensing the bin was full. The final straw was on the tenth day when shredding stopped—holes were punched into the paper inserted, not shredded.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Growing the business I did NOT want to spend this much for a shredder! I am a small business owner and every dollar spent is a direct impact on net operating results. Our old shredder gummed up after five years of great service. Didn't think to oil it or it would probably continue to operate. I did a lot of research and even brought a different one home, only to take it back to the store. Once we bought and used the Fellows, even my wife (the CFO) was pleased. Spent a little more and got back a lot more. We couldn't be more pleased. Who would of thought that a shredder could be exciting. Spend the extra $ and don't look back!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fellows Shredder 99CI It is all about your expectations. This shredder works well for its intended audience; if you’re about to shred the Library of Congress it is the wrong machine. I’ve cut up to five sheets at once without issue. As for the noise, it is better than anticipated, not bad at all; keep in mind you are spinning reciprocating cutters, so expect some noise. If your needs are greater than shredding twenty minutes out of every hour, this unit is not for you. While it might shred 10 or 11 sheets at once, expecting that performance continuously may overtax this unit. You buy this unit for the security provided by the end product and this shredder gets it done. Go for it you won’t be sorry.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Suggested Design Change Before purchasing my Powershred 99Ci, I read numerous reviews on various web sites. Nearly all of them gave an excellent rating, which is unusual. I have observed that the preponderance of product reviewers only post reviews because they have had a bad experience. But, based on so many positive reviews, I decided to make the purchase. Overall, I think it was a good decision and I am mostly very pleased with the machine. It is extraordinarily quiet. My last shredder, a Fellowes SB-15C, was so noisy that I could not use it if anyone in the house was asleep as they could hear it. But this new machine is so quiet that it cannot be heard in the next room, even with the door open! I have been amused at the debate over whether a shredder can truly shred the maximum number of sheets as declared by the manufacturer (17 sheets for the 99Ci). Since so many papers come in different weights, I might be able to shred 25 very light weight (thin) sheets, while another person can only shred 10 sheets because their paper is much heavier (and therefore thicker). Perhaps manufacturers should declare a maximum and then specify what weight paper that maximum applies to. I have also found that when you shred large groups of sheets one after the other, the bin will appear fuller faster because the particles clump up as they hang from the blades and do not have much chance to fall into the bin (true of all shredders, regardless of brand, in my experience). Shredding fewer sheets at a time, even if you feed them continuously, allows time for the particles to fall into the bin without clumping. My main reason for writing this review is to suggest a couple of design changes, and hope that Fellowes sees it: The 99Ci has a basic problem when the bin is full and the "bin full" indicator light comes on. When that happens, the natural action is to pull the bin out and push the shredded material down into the bin, and perhaps to compress it to give room for more shredding. But, when you pull the bin out, as the rear of the bin comes forward, it dislodges whatever excess particles are clumped and hanging from the shredder blades and they fall behind the bin (see attached pictures). If you don't pull the bin out far enough, you don't see those particles, and when they build up too much, you cannot push the bin back in fully. To get around this, I tried pulling the bin out partially and reaching in to grab the material hanging from the shredder blades and push it down into the bin. I was sort of successful, but the inside of the upper front portion of the bin has many sharp edges, and I found I have to be very careful not to rub my arm on them or I will get scratches or cuts on my arm (see picture). My recommended design changes: 1) Make the edges of the inside of the front top of the bin rounded so you can reach in without getting scratched or cut. 2) Change the bin design so the top of the bin is substantially lower, say 6 inches lower than it is currently, and put the "bin full" detector at the top of the bin rather than on the underside of the shredding motor housing. This would result in either a smaller bin, or a taller machine to accommodate the current bin, but it might give more vertical space to give shredded particles a better chance to fall clear of the blades. "Bin full" would then indicate a truly full bin and not just that a bunch of particles are clumped and hanging from the blades, a "false indicator". AT THE SAME TIME, OR ALTERNATIVELY, change the bin design so that when you pull it out, the back edge of the bin "scrapes" the hanging particles into the bin. This might prevent the particles from falling behind the bin. OR, ALTERNATIVELY, change the mechanism so that when the bin is full, the machine "self-clears" the particles hanging from the blades, perhaps by running it in reverse for a few seconds. Perhaps, in this way, a "bin full" condition would only happen when the bin was truly full and not when the shredded particles have clumped and are hanging from the blades. Despite what sounds like a great deal of negativity on my part, I still love the machine! I will only have to deal with the bin full situation being annoying when shredding large amounts of paper, such as when I do my annual file drawer clean-out. I do not foresee this problem being an annoyance for normal day to day shredding. And, as a way to alleviate this problem, I will probably also shred fewer sheets at a time. My only other comment is it would be nice to have a more secure cut size at a lower price than is currently available.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not As Good as Old Model SB-99Ci I purchased this PowerShred 99Ci to replace a SB-99Ci which I have been using for the last 8 1/2 years (since January 1999). The older machine was superb. This updated version of the 99Ci is not nearly as capable as the old version. The shredder motor is not nearly as powerful as the old model. Paper is much more difficult to feed because the feed slot is much narrower than the older model. Likewise, it will not accept the advertised 18 sheets of paper. And the pullout bin keeps popping out when shredding. If I cannot resolve these problems within the next week or two, I will return this shredder to Fellowes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Pleased with Fellowes Products Just got the shredder in. Simple and easy set up. I am very pleased with the power and ease of operation. I had a Fellowes DM12C that has served me very well for over 8 years but needed something that was more powerful. This fills the bill. I shopped on line, read reviews, compared brands and settled on this Fellowes 99Ci. I am very happy I did. If this one serves me as well as my first Fellowes I will be a happy camper.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome shredder Out of the 4 shredders I have purchased in the past this is hands down the best shredder. It is unbelievably easy to use and is a true work horse. I absolutely love how quiet it is. I wish I would have found it 3 shredders ago.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best paper shredder on the market I purchased a shredder for our office and it is used frequently by everyone in our office. Never had a jam or any problems with it. Liked it so well we purchased another one for another office. I won't buy another brand!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great shredder, room for improvement I have an online friend who got one of these and loves it, so when my sister asked for help picking one out, I chose this one. I have used it a few times myself and love it. The 14 year old shredder I had in my office was jamming and not cutting well, so I decided to get this for it the day that this went down around twenty bucks in price. I just got through setting it up and will do a little review. It is very quiet. It is more quiet than my ductless A/C and Laser printer, but not as quiet as the dorm refrigerator if that gives you an idea of the volume. As far as the casters, I was able to put them in just using my hands and a little pressure (then again I am the Hulk ;-) ) Most went in the first time or two, but one took a little extra to push all of the way down. Whether that was the position it was (left side, furthest away) or a little difference in the slot or caster is beyond me. Still, it is nothing to complain about although I am sure even using a rubber mallet would be a little awkward. At first I thought that they measured it wrong, because of the shape of it etc. but it does barely fit under my desk (which at its lowest point) is not quite 26 inches off from the bottom of the drawer to the floor. This is taller and not as wide. One strange thing though is the slot to fit the paper is from front to back instead of side to side (due to how narrow this is.) I suppose I could flip it around, but it would be awkward. As it is, I have to pull this out from under the desk for use anyhow (but I don't shred even every week, so it is a hassle I will put up with as my space in here is limited), and I don't have another good place for it. My old shredder didn't have casters, so I guess I could have not put them on, but his thing is pretty hefty and I like the convenience of having it on wheels to have the carpet vaccumed underneath. One way I thought was a little cheap is that the majority of the bucket seems to be made from corrugated plastic instead of tougher plastic. At least it reminds me of my corrugated plastic LP boxes. This does make it a bit lighter (which would be helpful for some to empty), and yes, I suppose it would be fairly easy to unscrew the tougher plastic that attaches to it and replace the corrugated plastic section (presuming one could get a replacement). Still, I expected a bit more in that department.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Shredder This was our second Fellowes shredder. The prior one provided consistently good service for 12yrs until it finally gave up. This 99ci replacement is a bit larger, handles more capacity per run & is a cross-cut, security level 4 machine. Our last one was a strip cut, level 2, so this is definitely a step up. The advanced technology allows the machine to operate much quieter than the prior machine, which is a huge plus in the office. It also comes with optional wheels that are very handy. The only drawback is the awkwardness of emptying the pull-out bin into the plastic bags when it is full. Probably because we were used to dealing with strip cuts, the cross cut material seems to make more of a mess when emptying the bin into the bags. However, we still are very pleased so far with this model. If we can get the same life span out of this machine as we did our last one, it will be awesome.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from best shredder yet As my business grew I needed a faster, more powerful shredder each time. The other day I shredded 500 pages with this shredder continuously doing anywhere from 5 to 12 pages as a time. It didn't overheat, shut off or jam. I had to empty the basket during this project and fill it again. It is quiet. it rolls well on its casters. it is easy to empty the basket . I am recommending it. The safety feature shuts off the shredder if the finger touches it. It is not the most micro of particles that come out but they are small enough to evoke privacy. If you would need more privacy or shred stuff with tiny lettering then choose a micro shredder otherwise this one is good.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from SherFL This is my second Fellowes shredder. I am very pleased with this one, especially the fact that it has rollers and has a large 9-gallon bin. It was easy to assemble and to start using. The only problem I have is getting the bin positioned correctly in the shredder. I shred and it opens back up. I'm beginning to get the hang of the angle it needs to be at to make it stay in.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent product I do a great deal of shredding and typically burn out a shredder every couple years. I researched to find a great replacement and discovered Fellowes. The controls are easy to use and well located. Docs are shredded into tiny pieces, and the colored lights keep me from jamming my machine. I expect to have a long relationship with my new Fellowes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Its my 2nd one & I love it ! I tried other paper shredders and returned them. This one "hums" and it much quieter than my previous one that "grinded" noise. Other one I tried did not allow for a bag "inside" of the waste bin and when you dumped the bin into a trash bag...it fell everywhere on the floor..had to vacuum to clean up mess! Who has time for this in an office! This DOES have bag liners and you just lift, tie bag and trash it ! I love the "light" that lets you know when "bin" is full ! Anyone who uses a paper shredder everyday in a office, appreciates this features. Just love my new shredder !

Rated 5 out of 5 by from good product - problem with manual I have only used the product to shred three bins of waste so my review may be a bit premature. My only complaints thus far - (1) the manual provided with the product is missing the portion that discusses the paper feed monitor (when you include too much paper or can insert more) and how to oil the machine. (2) The oil provided also does not tell you where to cut it to open it and I cut too low and now the cap does not fit. (3) the waste bin is flimsy and I do not know how it will hold up in use.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Why didnt I buy this Shredder before Over the last few years I had purchased a couple of different brands shredders, we never ran a staple or paperclip thru them, and hardly ever shredded more than 2 or 3 sheets of paper, And always emptied them appropatly. A few times I had to manually clean the cutting mechanisms to get them to operate correctly, even thou we tried they both eventually failed catastrophically. thou I have only owned and used our new Fellowes 99CI shredder for a few days , its already apparent that is a higher quality design, constructed well and will operate better and longer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Locking the Waste Bucket Very Difficult When closing and locking the waste bucket back into the machine it will not do so intuitively or naturally. You have to guide it back shut a certain way or else it will not close back shut and you have one side of the bucket not latched on. This gets very annoying after the 3rd or fourth time and it will happen more than once. Although my previous lesser model shredder from fellows was smaller and would jam more often it did not present this difficulty with the non-latching bucket. If push came to shove I would probably go back to the smaller fellows machine though regretabbly.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good replacement but 2 minor drawbacks My old Fellowes DM17Ci came to an end of a brilliant life and the 99Ci seemed to be the new version. It was reassuring that something so similar was still available which of itself was a good sign. I am pleased with the new one especially that it takes more sheets at a time and so far hasn't triggered the red light at all. However there is no cord tidy to wind the cord around when not required. I hate trailing cables. The other issue is that the drawer is cardboard rather than smooth plastic the the DM17Ci had. This makes it far harder to pull the full bag out ready for disposing of. It catches on the plastic fixings. Otherwise I have no complaints.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from JUNK! several issues right out of the box I've had several Fellowes shredders over the years but this one is just not functional. Isues are, first, it runs continuously. will not stop for any reason other than powering off, overheating or safety switch activation. Second, will shut down after only 2 to 3 minutes of running with the overheating light illuminated and will not turn back on for at least 20 minutes. Third, the safety switch is so tight that a single sheet of paper will not feed through. I need to use at least 5 sheets to make it stiff enough to feed in. Fourth, when I do use 5 sheets of paper the overfeed safety activates shutting the shredder off. The overfeed lights start off 1 level away from overfeed and shutdown. Very useful! I can get more accomplished with a good pair of scissors.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Disappointed in 99Ci I have been very happy with a Fellowes 60MC but wanted more capacity, plus the 60MC overheated too often. I "upgraded" to the 99Ci, but I'm sorry I did. You have to PUSH (all caps because you have to push hard) the paper in vs. just sliding it. A container of oil was included, but there are no instructions as to how often it needs to be used. A minor issue was that a few plastic bags were included, but there was no mention of them in the instructions (i.e., are they optional, where to order more, etc.). I cannot recommend this shredder.

Looked in brand new condition to me and performed like new as well. Having purchased this shredder to replace a 10 year old non-Fellowes model I would encourage everyone purchasing ANY shredder to be aware that cellophane window envelopes, tape, Post-It TM Notes and anything that has an adhesive (including regular envelopes) can gum up your shredder and impact its life (RIP old shredder). If I follow my own rules, I would expect this Fellowes shredder to last forever.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from But for the paper basket and plug This purchase was a replacement of one I owned since 2007. The new one works quieter and is equally as efficient; however, the paper basket is made of plastic corrugated. While lighter it does not push in as nicely as the old one. I chose to insert and use the old basket and it works perfectly. In my opinion, the manufacturer got cheap. Additionally, I like the old electrical cord that could be disconnected at the shredder not only at the plug. The new one is permanently connected to the shredder requiring one to crawl under desks to plug and unplug.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Problem with using shredder bags? Is there a proper way to line the pull-out bin with a shredder bag? It doesn't seem to fit securely and is loose around the bin.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent product I needed to purchase a new shredder for home office use, but after looking around all the usual shops such as Currys etc, found nothing that was substantial enough or robust enough for our home office requirements. After wasting time in the stores I'm pleased to say that I quickly found what I needed online with the Fellowes Powershred 99ci Cross-Cut Shredder. This particular shredder is ideal for a small office or home office use. It is strong and keeps going for a decent amount of time (up to 30 minutes if necessary, before demanding a tea break(!) although I haven't personally had to use it for that long in one session myself yet). I thoroughly recommend it especially if you need to frequently shred confidential information etc. The base container holds a decent amount of shredded paper before having to empty it, but note that it does help to pull out the bin and 'Squash it down' occasionally to keep the shredder flowing freely without jamming due to shredded material accumulating under the shredding mechanism.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fellowes 99ci Purchase I've used the shredder for about two weeks and shredded approximately 15 bags of material. Shredder performs admirably, overall. I did have a couple of jams which I contribute to possibly placing too much material in the shredder. Probably suggest less than 18 pages, although it will handle this amount. The container bin is poorly made. It works but could be so much better made. Looks like the corrugated material from post office boxes, therefore the 3 stars in this area. Shreds cd's, small paper clips and staples as advertised. I reviewed several shredders at all price points before choosing the 99ci. I have many, many pounds of documents to dispose of going back more than 10 years. I have full confidence that the 99ci will do what I need and more. Were it not for the quality of the bin and some shredded material falling behind the bin when shredding or trying to pack it down when full, I would have given this machine 5 stars. Great value! I am not disappointed, and I definitely recommend it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works great! Works great! The "SafeSense" sensor really works. Runs very quiet. Love that it has casters to move around but also does not take up a great deal of space.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Monster Power Shredder ggCi We are very happy we bought the Fellowes Power Shredder ggCiI I have done many years of shredding and got pretty much done. We are so glad be bought this one. We realize there are many others with the cost of half this price. You get what you buy and that is jamming and over heating. Not with this you don't feel shredding is a stress free and enjoy doing what needs to be done. I totally recommend this one to everyone! One of the best investments we have done! You'll feel the same way too! Excellent Performance!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Hard worker We've had our shredder some 8 years and JUST replaced it with the same model (on/off switch went). We WORKED this little machine shredding box after box of old files. Running it FAR LONGER than the suggest 1/2 hour....and it kept on chugging. The empty drawer is not the most convenient... but it works. We shredded MOSTLY paper, some staples, the occasional credit card/CD and it kept on grinding. We did lube it with shredder lube. Other than leaking a bit on the floor from overzealous filling... it seemed to help. Bottom line: if you don't abuse this model...she will keep on chugging. GOOD value for the money.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Done forever looking for a heavy duty shredder for home After 3 previous shredders that started with a small basket, two others that were store branded, I'm done with cutting heads that give up and you can't get any parts for them, the motors smoke, just not beefy. This is why I bought the 99CI. First, the cutters are lifetime warranteed. Second, even if the motor quits, you can buy genuine OEM motors on eBay. I'm an engineer and the 99CI is built tough.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Defective out of the box Very disappointed. The shredder doesn't even power on...I took it out of the box- removed it from the plastic bag, and installed the wheels. I turned on the power switch on the back, and I pressed the power button on the top of the unit. Nothing happened.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect for the Office! The black and silver design is both sleek and professional. In addition to paper, we have shredded many discs with ease, and have not had any issues or jams. It shreds up to 18 documents at a time and is very quiet for a shredder.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Mom I replaced my old Fellowes shredded (2008). That thing was a work horse and I would have gotten the same thing if they carried it still. This is the 99ci, it is suppose to be an up grade. I didn't like that you have to place the paper down a bit more, but I understand safety in this day and age. It has a nice feel to it and it is fairly heavy. I just shredded a box full of junk mail and it was much faster and quieter than the old machine was. The other thing I like is the customer service. Very helpful, polite, patient and knowledgeable.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Shredder Yet This unit is extremely powerful. It is also quieter than previous Fellowes shredders. It took me 10 years to want to get a new shredder for the office. Yes, we still have the Fellowes shredder that we bought 10 years ago and it still is in service today.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing shredder This shredder is the best. We use it in our office. It is durable, shreds paper, CD's and cards perfectly! It can only be on for 30 minutes, but we can shred a lot in in this time. I would recommend for everyone who is looking for an office shredder/home office. Rather than spending money for shredding companies, this is the right product to save money and it works great! I Would give 100 stars If I could.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Needed a home shredder glad we bought this one The shredder does the job its fun to see it swallow up everything you feed it no need to worry about size or thickness of paper it has safeguards against over feeding or thickness. We call it feeding the beast. Downloaded owners manual. It was easy to set up. Like that it has casters so you can wheel/move it to the area that you want to do the shredding. Like sit on the sofa as you feed in the paper.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not 100% Jam proof- Cutters not Lifetime Warrantied Purchased in 2017. Used only for 2 member household. Shredder jams as PLASTIC strippers (that clear shredder blades) broke. Stripper (that clear cutters) is NOT covered under "lifetime" cutter warranty. We even purchased and used the (high priced Fellowes) lubricant as directed. Having used Fellowes shredders at home and work for over 20 years, totally disappointed by customer service.

I love the style and it fit very well under my desk, when it's not getting a workout. And it will get a workout! I have about 70 reams of papers to shred this year. This is a great product to help me acheive a paperless office and lifestyle. Digitize and shred!
