Wasn't sure what to expect after reading the negatives reviews but pleasantly surprised. Handled it no problem.
Fellows 99ci is a very quiet unit that can easily process large amounts of office records and data cds/dvds without jamming or over heating. Machine is so much quieter than previous discontinued model we had for more than ten years. It's quieter than ... Read More

Cons
I am unsure if the product i received is genuine. I had assumed, wrongly it turns out, that paying a premium price would get me a premium product. The voltage on the packaging is a different voltage from the voltage used in the importing country.

Highlights
Quality
Unit works well and have shredded a large number of papers successfully since purchasing a couple of weeks ago
This is the quietest cleanest and efficient shredder i have ever owned
My ativa commercialsize paper shredder died without so much as a whimper at the end of last week
It is dense and solid as a brick
Price
Got a great deal on it and i would buy it again
Great professional grade product at a very good price point
I know its a little expensive but its worth it
More cost than we were thinking we would want to pay for one but are very happy we bought this one
Shipping
The delivery of the shredder shredded debris plastic bags and lubricated sheets was amazingly fastthe next day
It took 2 days to track it down
Packaging/appearance
And it came with three plastic trash bags to line the bin
But i guess they figured putting the manual in the shredder ready to be consumed was asking for too much karmic justice out of the box
Damaged box condition that got me a great discount does not appear to have caused any problems
Competitiveness
We have 2 other fellowes shredders and these are officegrade units that do the job better than any other shredder this size ive ever used
I visited their website before hand to compare to other brands and found it very informative
Its quieter than the cheaper models ive had in the past
