Pros: Sheet Capacity, Quality Construction, Warranty, Shreds Credit Cards, Staples and CDs, Safety Features, Jam Resistance, Mess Reduction
Cons: side mount paperholder comes off too easily.
"We stay paperless at the house, but (with 3 kids and countless accounts) have a lot of stuff to archive on the NAS and shred. I was tired of wasting time disassembling and cleaing out lesser shredders; and the others fell short when it came time to shred a credit card or CD (I used to keep a box in the car to take to the office shredder).
The 99Ci is exactly what we needed. It chews tirelessly at document after document. It can eat that super-thick salesmail from American Express, AAA and anyone else who thinks a card in the envelope will force you to open it.
It has a page limit, but when it comes to magazines, you can usually just through it in there or, worst case, tear it in half and throw it in.
All the while, when the two year old walks up, I don't even get excited as the sense technology works and keeps fingers safely clear. I'm almost afraid he'll get used to not being corrected and someday find himslef near a lesser shredder.
Staples, CD, DVD, BDR not a problem.
We use the shredded material for shipping and save cost on those static friendly foam peanuts.
Perfect match for a scansnap kind of house or business! Well worth the cost."
