Review: The 79Ci will set you free! - Let me start by saying that I was very reluctant to spend so much money on a shredder, despite the fact that I clearly needed a decent shredder and despite my bad experience with a cheap, low-end shredder. I kept going back and forth, thinking that if I somehow just got "caught up" on my shredding, that once that happened then I would be fine with an inexpensive model for my weekly shredding needs. So why spend so much money on a shredder? It's not like I'm a business! Why would I NEED such a professional level shredder? But then I'd remember how annoying, time consuming, loud, and slow it is dealing with sub-$50 shredders. And, really, it's a huge difference, especially in time. Having to open everything, and feed in only two or three sheets at once--that takes some time! So I had this shredder on my wish/shopping list for something like a year before I finally pulled the trigger on it. And let me tell you, I am so glad that I did! This thing is AWESOME! I shredded about TWO full lawn and leaf bags worth of material over the course of a few weeks--hours worth of shredding--and this thing handled it all with ease. (Although, I will say that if you shred non-stop for long enough that you will trip the high-temperature interlock on the unit, which will then need to cool down for 15 minutes before shredding can resume. This happened to me only once, and only at the beginning when I was just hitting it non-stop with material. After that, when I was spending just a bit of time deciding what should, and what should not be shredded, it never tripped off on over temperature again) As others have said, this shredder is quiet and powerful, and will handle most credit card offers whole and unopened. The jam-proof sense system works exceptionally well, as does the system that senses when your fingers are too near the opening. In all my shredding so far I have only had one false activation of the jam sensor, and I just pushed and held the forward feed button to force it to chew up the paper anyway. Everything works, and it works well. And quietly. Very nice. And I am now into that once-only-dreamed-of state of having NO backlog of materials to be shredded. (And God, doesn't it feel good! The 79Ci really will set you free! LOL!) But even so, I still very much appreciate the 79Ci. Even just as a once-a-week use shredder, it's advantages still shine through and make a difference. Very happy I went ahead and purchased this shredder! As for oiling, yes there are no instructions in the manual for how to do so. Here is what I do, FWIW: first I make sure there's at least a covering of shredded paper in the bottom of the bin (to absorb any oil that drips through). Then, I push and hold the reverse-feed button while applying a drop of oil every inch or two into the paper-feed slot. When I get to the end of the slot, I stop, and switch to pushing the forward-feed button for 5 or 10 more seconds. Easy, simple. And you really can't do it too often. Paper and paper dust is hell on shredder blades so do NOT forget to oil your shredder or you will seriously decrease its working life. As for bags, they are ridiculous and more trouble than they are worth in my experience. Just let the paper fall directly into the bin, and be sure to empty the bin BEFORE the full light turns on (you can see the paper level through the plastic window in the front of the bin). I would just pull the bin and dump the shreds directly into a lawn and leaf bag then push it back in and be off and running again. Yes, you might get a few stray shreds here and there, but there's no avoiding that, I don't think. Bags just make it worse. And create a possible issue for people who don't have single-stream recycling. Anyway, there it is. Just wanted to share my experience and encourage others to divest themselves of the dead weight of unwanted, but propriety paper materials!
Review: Work horse of a shredder. No problem in 4 years. Buy the latest model - It's worth it! - I have had the work horse of a shredder for 4 years now and I have never had 1 single problem. I don't think they make it anymore. I paid $200 for it and it has been an amazing piece of equipment. I got so tired of the cheaper machines that jammed and were basically unusable if you wanted to put 5 sheets in at a time. Think this machine can handle 15 sheets at a time. Excellent, fast, easy to empty. I also ordered a bottle of shredder oil and followed directions once a month to make sure it was oiled properly. Seriously, this might be the last shredder I ever use. A friend's mother died and I told her to bring me the paperwork and I'd shred it for her. So easy and it's kind of fun to just get it done with NO PROBLEMS, no jamming. If it gets hot, it stops and cools off. Noise level is fine. I highly recommend this shredder or the latest version. I wish I had paid $200 10 years ago because I wasted so much money and this shredder it so worth the price.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: can it shred stickie notes without jamming?**
A: Not recommended, but have shredded documents with stickie notes attached; no jamming.

**Q: Is this shredder size appropriate for home use? The dimensions seem large. This would be for a person who shreds a small amount several times a week.**
A: It is larger than a typical home shredder, but I love it.  If you are shredding several times a week, this is a good model.  Only, don't shred junk mail envelopes with the cellophane windows.  They melt as the shredder gets warm during use, and it can clog the shredder.  I found that out the hard way.  Otherwise, really terrific machine!

**Q: On a scale of 1-5 and 5 being the loudest...how noisey is it?**
A: Small cheap shredder at home = 5.  This one = 2.  This is located in a cube farm, and it is not offensive even though I have direct line of sight at a 15 foot distance.

**Q: I'm having trouble putting in the casters. They don't snap all the way in, then they fall out easily. Do I need to remove the O-ring from the stem? -- thank you for the answers!  A BIG shove did the trick!!**
A: I happened to have a rubber mallet in my tool box. Good tool to own. Turn the shredder upside down, place the casters in the hole and push down firmly by hand and then a couple of light whacks with the mallet and they go in all the way. It is very obvious when they are seated completely. DO NOT remove the O rings/ washer.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great. Cleaner shreddings.
*by H***L on July 29, 2026*

I'm happy with the way it runs. It's a lot quieter than my old shredder. It shreds a lot more papers with ease than my old. My old said 12 papers, but never liked more than 4 papers at a time. This seems to deal with a lot of pages as promised. I had lights to tell you warn you if you are trying to put to many in it. My late husband left me 20 years and paperwork. I've been shredding little by little. I let it cool off so it doesn't overheat. My only complaint is I'm not a strong person. I had a terrible time putting the wheels in it. I asked my neighbor and even he had some trouble. They should make it a little easier. I mean really? Plus wow the motor. I love that instead of getting light confetti that can be hard to pick up. These shredding are course and you can pick them up. If they are on the floor it isn't a big deal. I really appreciate that. I also appreciate the fact it shuts off if you don't use it. You have to turn it back on if you don't use it after so much time. That's great for saving electric! On con I had was trying to put the wheels on the lifting the motor. But it's set up now. One thing I don't care for is the bin seems cheap. My old bin I felt I could take it to the trash and tap it while it's full. I'm a little leary to do this. It feels cheaply made. I just lift the shreddings out by hand to solve the problem. The light let's you know if it isn't in all the way. It also lets you know if it is full. I really appreciate my new shredder.
