" We have 9 employees using our shredder. We've gone through 2 shredders in the past year. This one is working better than either of the other shredders. We work with a lot of confidential files and thus have a lot of shredding. The large waste bin is great! We were constantly cleaning out the bin on our other shredder which filled so quickly causing several paper jams. This shredder indicates when the bin is full before a jam even occurs. We are very satisfied thus far. Also, the sheets of paper capacity is great as well and the shredder indicates when you're trying to feed through too many sheets at once.

" I have had this shredder for only a short time, but I like everything that I have experienced thus far. The jam proof feature forces the user to feed paper in small quantities, but I anticipate that this means that the unit will last longer. This shredder is relatively quiet and seems very solid.

" The SB-99Ci is quite a shredder. During the last eleven years, as ID Theft and business considerations have become more important, the SB-99Ci performance has exceeded the abilities and performance of all my previously owned shredders.
The previous machines included both Fellows and two machines from other manufacturers. The SB-99Ci will continue building its reputation for quality, excellance, as well as, adding luster to Research and Development done by the Fellows Company to produce high-performance units that exmpflies the best value for the price paid by customers.
Fellows is an innovative company. Products meet and exceed the changing needs and expectations of customers. If help is needed, customer service and warranties protect the customer's investment hardware, time, and money.

" The unit was received within 2-days. I took it out of the box and set it up without the wheels which I've kept just in case I decide to install them. The handy bin to hold papers to be shredded, I'm using to hold plastic bags to line the shredder bin drawer and the lubricant for the shredder.
I've found the unit to be quiet and very efficient. I especially like the safety features of the unit.
The only drawback I've found so far is if you stick a small item into the shredder, the unit might turn on but possibly won't "grab" what you're shredding. Other than that, it's great.
You do need to open the drawer periodically to spread the shred around so that it doesn't stack up in one place but I've had to do that with all my other shredders.

" Our office has been sharing an older shredder that has simply become worn out. The SB-99Ci is a great buy! This shredder operated quietly and quickly. I have not had any jams and the basket is large and doesn't require constant emptying. I would recommend this shredder to anyone looking for the whole package.

" When it comes to Shredders I learned a long time ago you really do get what you pay for. I have a small home business and really did not need such a large shredder, but I got tired of emptying out bags and wanted a shredder with larger capacity. This shredder fit the bill for me. It is as they say 100% jam proof (but then again, why would you want to even try to jam it). And it performs all of its duties as advertised. I fits nicely in my home office. Since it sits sideways, it take up much less room than a "front loading" shredder. But what really impressed me was how quiet is is compared to shredders I've had in the past. Let's face it, at some point all shredders implode. This one seems to be well built and should last for quite a while if not overworked. I think the biggest problem with shredders is that many people pick a shredder that is undersized for the jobs it needs to handle and burns out quicker. I went for the bigger one with the hopes I will have it a while.
I recommend it.

" The Fellowes SB-99Ci was my 4th shredder purchased and to say the least, the old adage of you get what you pay for comes to mind from the less expensive shredders purchased in the past. From paper jams to blade damage, the other brands all had problems after a lot of use even with me doing the recommended maintenance.
Since I work from a home office and I often have my oldest daughter (10 years old) helping me with things like shredding paperwork, I was looking for a shredder that incorporated SafeSense Technology while at the same time allowing for loads of papers to be shredded at the same time. The Fellowes SB-99Ci provides me with that and much more, although I'm not too sure about the 17 sheets per pass. From what I've seen it's more like 10-12 sheets, but then again, I do shred a lot of envelopes along with papers as well.
Overall this is a very sweet shredder. With it being safe, first and foremost, quiet and dependable I can say that I'm very satisfied with my purchase thus far.

" The first thing that struck me about my new shredder was the extremely quiet operation. I have owned several shredders but never have I owned one this quiet. The next thing I noticed was the way the machine "straigtens out" papers which are not vertically inserted, thereby eliminating jambs. Also, the machine can "power thru" batches that are a little too thick, eliminating the need to reverse the feed, separate the pages, and feed in a smaller batch.
I like the feature which shuts the shredder down if the motor overheats, saving the machine from major overheating failure.
All in all, a great machine for the money.

" We purchased this shredder several months ago & it has worked great so far. It's much more quiet than our old shredder, holds much more & shreds staples, paper clips & CDs as easily as paper. The non-jamming feature is also great. My only complaint is that the drawer tears holes in the bags & makes emptying a problem.

" Got this shredder (the SB-99Ci) back in February 2009 and have been using it since. No jams yet, and it shreds through everything I've thrown at it. I mainly shred junk and sensitive mail and usually stock pile them and shred them in one sitting. The 17 sheet capacity on this thing is awesome! It's wide enough to accommodate most shreds without much action on your part other than feeding things to shred through.
In the past, I've used and broken several cheaper, lesser capacity, lesser quality shredders (not Fellowes brand) so I can definitely tell the quality difference between them. The initial price may be (seem to be) a bit high but it's worth every dollar.
Just as a note, I didn't check off 'Service Guarantee' or 'Warranty' for 'Pros' for this machine, as I have yet to need to use either. I did register my machine when I first got it though.
Bottom line is, if you shred things on a regular basis and want to save yourself some time and hassle of replacing jammed up shredders, get one of these. You won't regret your investment in this machine.

The one criticism stems from the protection of the shipping carton. The edges were well protected, but the sides were not. UPS, tried their best to damage the unit with holes in the sides, that were not protected.

" Our old shredder was making a horrid noise and would only shred on sheet of paper and then only gradually. This machine is wonderful. It shreds anything I put in it and the only time is jammed is when the bag was full. Once I packed the paper down, it started right up again without pressing the start button again. I love this baby.
