Just got this 99Ci to replace a 15 year old low grade/snail speed over a waste basket shredder. Have a lot of paper to shred and a local shredding company wants 10 moola for each shopping bag full, I figured I'll shred myself and get something out of it in the end.
I was debating between this model and the AmazonBasics 24-Sheet Cross-Cut, finally decided on this, mainly due to the 100% Jam Proof, SafeSense, 10 FPM speed (no speed info on the AmazonBasics) and the larger 9 gallon bin features, plus it just looks more well built with better features that the AmazonBasics.
Pros
- Well built, feels solid for its price range.
- The casters were easy to install by myself (this is a man's job)
- Instructions were clear and easy to understand (this is also a man's job)
- The bin slides in and out easily.
- The capacity indicator is pretty cool, handy if trying to insert too many pages, which prevents jamming.
- The SafeSense feature, good for safety, plus if you keep your hand on there for more than 3 seconds, the machine actually turns off completely.
- First tested with 20 pages of 20lb copy paper, it was too thick and the capacity indicator was in the red, shredding would not even start, until I got down to 18 pages, then shredding went through without any problems.
- My first real batch of shredding completely filled a 12"x12"x8" box, lots of old invoices and statements, took about 25-30 minutes, almost ran it continuously. The shredder finally overloaded right when I finished, went into cool down mode, but I noticed that the overload red light went off about 15-20 minutes later, but the motor felt pretty warm still. I have many more of those boxes of paper to go.
- Within the 25-30 minutes of shredding, only one jam due to too many pages, hit the reverse button to back it out a little, then forward button to finish shredding it.
- When shredding lots of pages, you can tell that the sound of the motor is stressing, but just a little though, still pretty quiet and will shred the 18 pages quickly, does not really slow down much at all.
- 10 feet per minute seems pretty fast for this level of shredder, compared to my old snail shredder.
- Junk mail: I luv it that I can just throw the average junk mail (unopened) right into the shredder.
- Did try to insert stacks of paper in crooked, so that it'd fold during shredding, but it never got jammed once.
Minor Cons
- Even with a 9 gallon bin, because the shredded paper is pretty fluffed, it gets full pretty quick, even though the paper gets distributed in the bin pretty evenly by itself. Within the 25-30 minutes, I filled two bins and had to pad down the paper around 4 times per bin and oiled the blade at least twice per bin. If you are using a bag to hold the paper and you pad down the paper as much as possible, when you pull the bag out, the inside part of the bin window have cornered edges, which will rip the bag, but of course this will most likely not happen if you do not pad down the paper.
- You have to insert the paper about 2-3 inches into the slot before it'll start shredding, but you'll get used to it quickly.
Miscellaneous
- Instructions state that it should be turned off when done shredding, not a big deal with a simple push of the on/off button.
- Since the bin gets filled pretty quick and you are supposed to oil the blade with every emptying of the bin, make sure you get yourself a nice big bottle of shredder oil, or vegetable oil (non aerosol) and get an applicator with a long nozzle.
- This model does have the Energy Savings Feature, it's not stated on Amazon, but it's on the manufacturer's site.
Conclusion
- As long as it last for years to come, am very happy with the purchase. I believe I read about a plastic gear that was used in the previous model SB-99Ci, hopefully the issue with that is now fixed with this current model.
- Now that I have a much better shredder, shredding is "ALMOST" fun.
BTW: I'm just kidding with the being a man's job comments, I believe in complete equality. You go girl!
>> UPDATE 1/21/2015
Just out of curiosity, I just had to find some DVDs to shred, which I found about 10, threw each one into the shredder, one after another, no problems at all, it was actually fun and enjoyable, at least this first time.
I was also curious about the shredding oil, so I called Fellowes to get more info, here is what it comes down to:
- Any vegetable oil will work.
- Typically, one found at super markets will have a smell to it and one found at office stores will not. The ones with the smell is for cooking, the only difference is that it has a smell, but both work the same. I prefer no smell, so I guess I'll have to pay a little more for that one.
- The manual suggest that every time the bin indicator lights up that it's full(without padding down the shredded material), you should squirt some shredding oil on the blades. But, if you want to pad down the shredded material every so long, to prolong when it is actually completely full, so that when the bin is finally truly full even by padding down the shredded material, you can then squirt some shredding oil on the blades, so that you do not have to oil it as often.
I luv this shredder, so far.
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!
