Fellowes Intellishred SB-99Ci Jam Proof Shredder - Cross Cut - 17 Per Pass Sheets - 3229901

If you do a lot of shredding like I do, and I shred everything, this product thus far is worth the money. Not only does the shredding protect you from identity theft, but also most local humane societies can use the shredded paper for use in their cages. The touch sensor is a great feature and works great thus far, sometimes a bit annoying, but a great safety feature. Although I dont leave the shredder in an area where the kids can get to it easily, it is still peace of mind knowing that the shredder will not function if little hands are near the throat of the shredder. The jam proof system works really well too, and I have not yet been able to jam the machine. The only negative I have with this machine is that the bags that are used with the machine rip in the front when removing them from the basket. The rip comes from the bottom of look through window that is used to see how full the bin is. To fix this I tapped a piece of fiberboard from a cereal box to the bottom of the look through window; the fiberboard does block the bottom half of the look through glass, but so far this seems to help. This isnt that big of a deal considering the shredder tells you when the bin is full. For the money they charge for this machine and the bags, you'd think they'd have designed basket to prevent the bag from ripping; almost defeats the purpose of putting bags in the shredder basket. The only other change Id make to this shredder is that the throat size (~9 wide) be about a inch wider to get those envelopes that are 9.5 wide through them in the horizontal instead of the vertical.

The Fellowes SB99Ci shredder is compact, sturdy, and reliable. I love the clear panel in front which shows the level of shredding completed so it is not necessary to open up the drawer to view.
