Fellowes Powershred 79Ci

B
Ranked #11 in Paper Shredders
Backed by 2 cited sources
Covered by 2 outlets

A fast (140 sheets/minute), user-friendly mid-size Fellowes with the brand's jam-proof and SafeSense features, but lab testing found it jams when fed its full advertised 16-sheet capacity - a meaningful mark against it at this price.
