got .. used product papers were already there in the compartment

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.

This shredder is much quieter and more efficient that my earlier one. Once in a while it flashes a light showing that the basket is full. Don't believe it. Open in and pull the shreds loose that have not fallen off the motor, and block the sensor, I hope this is not a permanent behavior, but just an...

I'm very pleased with the shredder it is perfect for home or a small office. I had bought several other brand shredders before and they did not last. This shredder does everything it says it will do.

I wanted a shredder with a windowed bin and one that would accept clear waste bags, but with a bin full indicator we are using regular kitchen bags now (much cheaper). Too bad that the window is really nothing more now than something to rip open an overstuffed bag.

Works as advertised; Can be turned off when not in use; Quiet operation; Jam proof features work; Shreds many papers at once; Shreds credit cards; CD/DVDs; staples; Large capacity basket; Indicator lights include paper capacity; overheating; hand sensor (too close); bin full and other...

Don't bother to overfill the bin, it just makes a mess; When it indicates it is full, it means it; You can shred a couple more items by sliding your hand in and shoving material over from under the teeth, but you will tear the bag upon removal if it's overstuffed.

Fellowes makes a great shredder. This one is pretty quiet and easy to use after you read the manual to figure out the controls. I use white kitchen garbage bags in it so the window indicating the level of shredded stuff is pretty useless.

Love this Fellowes PS 99CI model shredder for our home business. It's fast, quiet and does its job well. I was thrilled when I put in too much paper at once and it stopped, backed out and continued shredding without any intervention from me. My old shredder would jam after every single sheet.

The Fellowes Powershred 99Ci 100% Jam Proof Cross-Cut Shredder ($299.99) is an excellent choice as a heavy-duty shared shredder for a micro office or small workgroup. It's speedy, it has good paper capacity, it cuts paper into pieces small enough for disposing of sensitive documents, and unlike many...

Quiet; Fast; Large waste bin; Can shred close to 20 sheets at once; Handles staples, optical discs, plastic cards, and junk mail in addition to paper

Large and heavy; On the pricey side; Not secure enough for secret documents
