Fellowes Powershred 79Ci Cross Cut Commercial Shredder
The Fellowes Powershred 79Ci is a medium-duty, deskside cross-cut shredder built for small offices with 1-3 regular users. 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, the 79Ci also shreds staples, credit cards, paper clips, CDs/DVDs, and junk mail, so documents don’t need pre-sorting. A 100% Jam Proof system detects and powers through tough feeds instead of just reversing them, while SafeSense Technology automatically stops the shredder when hands touch the paper entry — a safety feature worth highlighting for shared workspaces.
