Customer Review: Almost a 5!
Summary: 4 Stars
This shredder was bought for a small office. I love the 17 page capacity and safety features it has built in. The second day we had it a toddler put his fingers by the shredder slot. Thank goodness the safety feature works!!! The only downfall I can see with this shredder is that when you empty the waste basket, you have to kind of play with it to get it to go back correctly. Not a big deal, but is a minor inconvenience. It will not work unless the waste basket is reinstalled correctly and tightly. It is a level 3 security shredder, munching up 17 pages with ease. Mine came with oil for the blades and 3 waste basket liners. The Amazon ad said it came with 36 liners, but that was a misprint and I believe they have corrected that. Even so it was a great deal and $80.00 less than the office supply store wanted for it. Best shredder I found for the money!!!!Customer Review: Fellowes SB-99Ci

We bought the shredder for a small office averaging about 2-3 (18) gallon bags per month. Nice and quiet, does the job, and has worked as promised for 6 months. Can't understand why some say it won't shred more than 6 sheets of paper. Unless it is the type and thickness of paper. So, I took a copy of a magazine, and 15 pages disappeared like beaver eating an aspen tree. But, if I put some of our 24# letterhead 25% cotton stationery, it's crying for mercy at 10-12 sheets. This does not take a rocket scientist from Penemunde to figure out.
But, (there's always a but, isn't there?) it stopped working: no lights, no motor, nada, bupkis, Machinen kaput! Called Fellowes, they are sending new machine and will pick up the old one. Vee vill zee vhat hoppens zoon! (yeah, I know, I'm mixin' my Russian with my German...)
Customer Review: Finally got "THE" shredder!

I've had a lot of shredders over the years, but they always seem to burn out after a year or so. They are never nearly as heavy duty as you hope they would be and get jammed constantly.
Even though I've only had this shredder for a month or two, there is NO DOUBT that this shredder will not be like that. It's MUCH BIGGER than the standard ones I've gotten at the big box stores. It has a MUCH BIGGER motor and feels VERY heavy duty. It's so large that the motor isn't even working that hard to shred, so its not even running loud. It's very quiet...more so than any shredder I've used before.
Stop spending $[...] bucks every few years on a new shredder, and get the good one now. It will be cheaper in the end and definitely less hassle.
Customer Review: MEDIUM POWERED SHREDDER
Summary: 2 Stars
This is the 3rd shredder I have owned. I ungraded from a Staples $150.00 shredder which I owned for about 3 years to this higher price Fellows shredder at Amazon for $221 (office depot $250.00 staples $350.00) hoping for a more powerful and quiter machine.
The Fellows SB-99Ci was quiet but lacked power. I at first was shredding only about 5-8 sheets and after about one month it started to jam on a regular basis. I would clear the machine and tried to use lubricant shredder sheets to speed it up and stop the jamming.
I finally was shredding at max 5 sheets and experienced frequent jamming. I decided to return it to Amazon.
Amazon was very helpful in returning the defective shredder.
Customer Review: don't listen to the negative comments on this one!

Maybe there were problems in the past with this shredder, I can't say if there has been any modifications to it. I was leary buying this because of some of the negative reviews but it turns out none of negative reviews appear to be valid any longer. The wheels were a snap putting on (literally 30-45 seconds to do) and the bin closes snuggly and the tab appears to be strong. In a nut shell... I couldn't expect more from a shredder. There were also complaints as how to oil the blades but Fellowes website explains it. This thing chews up CDs and credit cards like there paper and it can shred the number of pages they claim. If you're thinking about buying this shredder... just do it... you'll be happy you did!
