Fellowes Powershred 79Ci Cross Cut Commercial Shredder
Paper jams are the single biggest complaint with cheaper shredders, and the Fellowes Powershred 79Ci is built specifically to solve that problem. This deskside cross-cut shredder targets small offices with 1–3 users who need dependable, jam-resistant performance rather than raw sheet volume. It shreds up to 16 sheets per pass, cutting documents into 4 x 38mm cross-cut particles rated at DIN P-4 security level. Beyond paper, it also shreds staples, credit cards, paper clips, CDs/DVDs, and junk mail in one pass, and a 100% Jam Proof system actively detects and powers through tough feeds instead of just reversing and giving up.
