Reviewers say the Fellowes Intellishred PS-79Ci is the best paper shredder. Reviewers, including Popular Mechanics editors, say that Fellowes's boast -- it's claimed to be jam-proof -- holds up under torture tests. In addition to paper, the PS-79Ci also shreds CDs, credit cards, staples and small paper clips. The only notable complaint from reviewers (aside from this unit's high price) is that the liner bag used to catch the shreds often rips on the rough interior, making a mess when you go to empty the bin. If you've been frustrated by cheap paper shredders in the past, reviewers say the Fellowes Intellishred PS-79Ci may be worth the expense.
The best reviews of the Fellowes Intellishred PS-79Ci are found on sites such as Amazon.com and Staples.com. Slate.com also likes the model, comparing it with five other shredders through testing methods. The "100 percent jam proof" claim is tested not only by owners posting to Amazon.com and similar sites, but also by the editors of Popular Mechanics.

Laura Moser rates the capacity, design and efficiency of six home-use paper shredders from Staples, Fellowes, OfficeMax and Royal. The Fellowes PS-79Ci ranks third for its great design and quiet motor, but Moser is disappointed that it can't shred unopened junk mail.

Popular Mechanics editors set out to disprove Fellowes's claim that the Intellishred PS-79Ci is "100 percent jam proof" by shoving cardboard, crumpled paper and CDs into the machine. The shredder turns off when misfed, but never jams.
