"This shredder replaced our old one. We have owned 3 with this one. This one really surprised us on how soft it sounds. We have tested it with 1 sheet of paper to triple fold credit apps. One time the junk mail was a bit thick , the shredder stop, reversed and finished shredding all by itself. We were in complete awe. NO OTHER SHREDDER WILL BE BOUGHT IN THIS HOUSEHOLD. ONLY FELLOWES FROM NOW ON.
THANKS!

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.

"I find shredding oddly therapeutic, all the more so with the SB-99Ci. The jam-proof capabilities are very good, though once or twice I've had to toggle it back and forth when I've overloaded paper. At first I thought the basket was a little difficult to set in place after emptying, but if I push it in from the bottom, it clicks into place. It seems durable and well-designed overall, so I expect it will be a good investment."

"I tried other paper shredders and returned them. This one "hums" and it much quieter than my previous one that "grinded" noise. Other one I tried did not allow for a bag "inside" of the waste bin and when you dumped the bin into a trash bag...it fell everywhere on the floor..had to vacuum to clean up mess! Who has time for this in an office! This DOES have bag liners and you just lift, tie bag and trash it ! I love the "light" that lets you know when "bin" is full ! Anyone who uses a paper shredder everyday in a office, appreciates this features. Just love my new shredder !"

"You should check out our new shredder! Our Fellowes SB-99Ci shredder is so easy to operate and slides right under my desk, but the most important thing to me is the cross-cut feature that allows our office to shred non-essential documents that might have codes, numbers, or other confidential information that actually makes you feel good about getting rid of unneeded paperwork. Thank you Fellowes for once again making such a great product!"

Cons: makes a mess when changing bags, often gags on more than 8 sheets (rated for 17)
"Shredder shreds well and quietly -- for 20-30 minutes, then overheats. One major problem which should be fixable with minor design changes has to do with shreds of paper getting into base of machine, under basket, then onto the floor whenever I change shredder bags. The mess from this then travels through the office and home on shoes. It should be possible to redesign the shredder basket so this no longer occurs. Also, while rated for 17 sheets, it gags sometimes on as few as eight."
