    Customers are mixed about the capacity. Some mention that it handles larger piles of papers (17 sheets) at a time, has a low-pitched rumble that, and makes easy work of things. However, others say that for a 9-gallon bin, it seemed to fill up quite quickly, overfilling is problematic, and the "bin full" alarm makes it less useful for large batches.

    This shredder is very reliable! I have owned one like it for the past 7 years.
    I have owned several home office paper shredders. This is the best one that I have owned by far. It is very quiet too. The noise doesn't frighten my cat, Tabitha. This model is well built.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Very Solid and Heavy Duty, Packed that way Too, Comes with Oil and Trash bags
    Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2023
    Style: 16 SheetVerified Purchase
    I was surprised at how Heavy this thing was at the local Post office where I picked it up. It is dense and solid as a brick. The Cardboard shipping box was triple the norm, and it needed to be. Its on Casters for a good reason, you will need them. - It comes with lubrication oil for the teeth when needed, each time the bin is emptied I think. And it came with three plastic trash bags to line the bin. Its basically three parts, a slideable bin you can take out to empty, a bin platform on casters that also holds up the shredding head and electronics. Flimsy is not a word I would use to describe it, but heavy duty tough plastic like an industrial trash bin is a lot closer. Its not cheap.. but its not made cheap either. - I visited their website before hand to compare to other brands and found it very informative.. they have been at this for a long time and have three classifications or categories of shredders. This was mid-tier. They make lighter weight lower cost ones,.. which I wouldn't bother with unless it were for a single person living alone who rarely shreds. And higher end, even more industrial. Putting the Casters on was the hard part for two reasons; 1. the instructions are stuff in a phamlet in the mouth or mawl of the shredder head which is wrapped in plastic and the "Last" thing you'll unwrap.. by then you will have already tried to assemble the caster platform and installed the bin to get it ready to receive the shredder head. On the other hand the operating manual (which does not cover assembly) is in a flat plastic bag tossed in the bin.. this is almost backwards.. 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. "What's the first thing they'll want to shred? The instruction manual.. so they put the assembly instructions in there instead.. what a sense of irony. - 2. Putting the Casters on they have a complex interlocking system where the poles they are attached go to.. and a locking ring. Its not very intuitive, but you first have to align all the different pieces along the length of the pole and precisely aim it thru both the top hole and the hidden unseen inner hole, rotate the caster so the majority of the wheel body is over hanging (or facing away) from the body of the platform.. and only then start pressing down.. its a lot less pressure if you do all these things than you might think. I used the palm of my hand and my body weight and it just sort of when "ca-chunk, chunk" interlocking first through the outer most hole and finally in the inner unseen hidden hole.. so its secured at two points along each shaft of each caster.. this should help a lot with stability and prevent "wobble". All four casters need this "over hang" treatment.. so the wheel are rotated away from the body, but while pressing down you have to keep the shaft absolutely straight.. or it will lock thru the outer hole, but run into a wall on the unseen hidden inner wall and not find the inner hole. The shafts all have to be pressed "straight" not at an angle.. there is no alignment or cone shaft to guide the shaft thru the inner hole.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Expensive Worth It but Bin is Cheap
    Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2024
    Style: 18 SheetVerified Purchase
    Expensive but will last longer than three or four shredders lifetimes. The only issue I have is that the company would cheap out on the shredder bin. My parents bin is made much better on there’s, which they purchased 15-20 years ago. Yes, it can last that long or longer. My bin had a broken clip within a few months. Luckily I found it and used gorilla glue on it and all the others. Shame on Fellows for saving a couple cents here when this shredder is $300+

    5.0 out of 5 stars Finally Died After 11 Years of Abuse and 3 Moves
    Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2024
    Style: 18 SheetVerified Purchase
    So, apparently I bought this in 2013, and it has survived a lot of abuse from my wife and her obsession with printing things for genealogy research, only to shred them later. Plus our usual shredding of all junk mail with our names on it. First thing to break on it was one of the wheels wouldn't stay in the bottom (move damage), and then today the shredder finally gave up.

    5.0 out of 5 stars 99Ci, Pros and minor cons...
    Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2015
    Style: 18 SheetVerified Purchase
    >> 1/14/2015
    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.
