Fellowes Intellishred SB-99Ci Jam Proof Shredder - 3229903
Cross Cut - 17 Per Pass - 9Gallon Wastebasket

I bought this unit to replace a broken one. What a difference! I can now talk on the phone while shredding, it's reasonably quiet. My touch-it-all 3-year old sometimes is in the office with me and I no longer have to worrry about little fingers near the shredder, that one actually stop shredding once you touch it - Great feature if you have kids! Jam-proof is the other main feature I like...So I recommend it! It's worth the money and shipping was fast!!!

Having owned shredders from two other major companies in the last few months (both failed inside of 5 months) this one finally appears to be built as advertised. This shredder also appears to hold more shard before giving the "bin full" alarm which occurred prematurely in all of the other shredders I have owned.

After throwing out two so-called shredders this one finally does what it says it will do, and does it quietly and higly efficiently. Nice size and easy to relace bags. Also, it doesn't leave an ugly shreeded paper trail all over. This is the only brand I would recommend. Both previous ones were wannabes.

After spending more time clearing the jams then shredding with my previous one, I decided to upgrade to something beefier. After some feature comparison shopping, settled on this one with a decent price for the features I cared for and the cutting capacity. Came in double boxed from buy.com. Outer box was damaged the courtesy of FedEx but the contents stayed protected. It is pretty heavy so don't try to pull it up from the box but rather put it upside down and pull the box up, if you care not to hurt your back. After removing the stickers and shipping tapes, the rest is plug-n-play. It's very quite but not sure about the stated 17 page capacity. I didn't try the full capacity when I jammed a bunch of random envelopes, it sounded like struggling. It is not the safest cross-cut shredding it does but I think it is good enough for piece of mind. Not all goes into the basket. For the little shredding I've done to test, there were quite a bit outside the basket. You may need to vacuum it every once in a while. Basket is tricky to insert back; you need to lift the rear end while pushing it in all the way in. Did I say it is big? ;)

I bought a SB-99Ci for my my small office last fall. It is much quieter and convenient than the model I replaced. As my home shredder began failing last month I bought another Fellowes SB-99Ci to replace it as well. My wife is so pleased with the purchase, she had me place it in her home office. This is an excellent product and value from Buy.com.

The price I paid for the SB-99Ci shredder was the lowest I could find at the time. I have been using the shredder for a few weeks now, and here are my thoughts about the unit. Pros - No jamming, easy to empty the bin, and it is quieter than my old shredder. Cons – The bin bag tears easy when removing the bin. YES, I would recommend this unit to others.

The price I paid for this shredder is definitely good, compared to other brand of similar shredder. I've been using it for a few weeks now, and here are the pro's and con's I've noticed: Pros - No jamming, easy to empty the bucket, and that little tray on the side makes things easy. Cons - a little on the loud side, and doesn't take as many pages as expected. Over all I'm satisfied with the machine. Would I recommend it to others? Yes I would.

EXCELLENT PRODUCT. Well worth the money.

This is a real fine shredder ... literally and figuratively! Because the pieces are so small, you get more compaction than the strip shredders, so less bag emptying. It is not quiet, but has a lower rumble as opposed to the usual high-pitched whine. Haven't jammed it yet. Comes with three bags and a small bottle of cutter lubricant, so don't feel rushed to buy these accessories.

I have had many shredders over the years and the price performance of the Fellowes Intellishred SB99Ci can not be beat. It has 17 page large capacity feeder, a motor powerful enough to actually shred 17 sheets of 24LB paper all at once, best available safety features and also easily shreds CDs / DVDs / Credit Cards.

This is the shredder I should always have had but I guess you have to have a few bad, cheap ones to make you know it's worth the money. I've had 3 shredders before this one. I would have spent a lot less if I had bought this one first. This shredder does all it says it will. It shreds 17 sheets of paper and it doesn't sound any different than when it shreds one sheet. It's reliable and fairly quiet. A regular Glad tall kitchen 13 gallon bag fits over the top edge and works just fine. I haven't had my shredder long enough to fill it up but I don't forsee a problem with that because I used them with my other shredders. In fact with them, that was the only thing about them that worked well. Since I bought it from BUY.com I got a good deal. It was a good buy and well worth the money.

I had 20 years worth of documents to shred. After looking at many shredders, the Fellowes Intellishred SB99Ci seemed up to the task. I shredded thousands of pages of documents in just a few afternoons with virtually no issues. Great machine for the money!

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 don’t 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 isn’t 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 I’d make to this shredder is that the throat size (~9” wide) be about a ½ inch wider to get those envelopes that are 9.5” wide through them in the horizontal instead of the vertical.

The Fellowes SB99Ci shredder has to be the best in it's class. Powerful, quiet and above all dependable.

I paid a little more than I hoped to in order to get the safety feature of an automatic shutoff when fingers get close to the feeder. I wasn't worried about myself but my year old grandson who might toddle into my home office. The unit is noisy, but handles paper much more efficiently than my old, less expensive unit. Whereas before I could only feed at most two pages at a time, this will chew through eight to ten pages at a time at a faster rate. Consequently, I use it more, protecting both my and my customers' privacy. Money well spent.

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.
