 Really chews up paper well September 6, 2010
John W. Krosnes (Germantown, TN United States)
I've burned up several lesser products and have purchased a larger unit each time a lesser one fails. I believe I'm going to have this one for awhile. The tip-out bag holder makes this one easier to use than most, and it seems strong enough for home use. While some may find the safety features annoying, I found that it's quite easy to learn to feed the paper without turning the unit off. When faced with a large job it occasionally stops to cool off before it approaches burn-out. If you can accept this by taking a short break yourself, then this unit should meet most of your home office needs.
Pretty decent shredder August 31, 2010
I use this in my home office. Gets used several times a week (probably empty the bin every 2 weeks or so).
I have had it for 3+ years with no issues. It occasionally jams (usually when I try to shred too many sheets at once).
It is great for home use, but for high volume shredding I'm not sure it would be the best bet.

The review below was written after a very poorly handled Tech Support Call to Fellowes. Since then, a "Product and Quality Liaison" contacted me by phone (I'm difficult to catch and she was VERY persistent). She had listened to my telephone tech support call and said I was mis-informed. She asked for more details and submitted that to Fellowes' Engineering Support Team. They believe this is an isolated failure and actually wish to see my defective shredder. I am sending it to them for evaluation and they are sending me a replacement...a PS-79Ci which is similar in specs to the PS-77Cs but has the Intellishred Jam Proof Technology. The composite plastic/metal gear which broke shouldn't have (see original review, below). The unit is engineered so the motor will stop before any breakage occurs in the shredding mechanism (makes sense) so this IS likely an isolated event. This all just came through in the past hour but I can't say how impressed I am by Fellowes' multiple attempts to contact me and the satisfaction they have delivered. I was bummed with my experience with the PS-77Cs because the reviews are so good...no one has reported this type of problem on Amazon. In light of this development, I WOULD recommend the PS-77Cs shredder. Other than the fact a gear broke (after nearly 4 years), it worked great, had good capacity and was pretty quiet. The "Safe Sense" safety technology is wonderful even if you don't have kids! I will submit a review for the PS-79Ci when I have a chance to use it. In the end, I'm most impressed by this because Fellowes practically owns the small office/home consumer shredder market (just try finding a highly rated medium duty/small office shredder that isn't a Fellowes) yet they listened to my tech support call, found my review out of 382 reviews for the PS77-Cs on Amazon.com, then took action to satisfy the customer if they could. They did!! Thanks Fellowes!
Original review follows...
"I purchased the PS-77Cs 4 years ago for simple home shredding. As a guess, I have had to empty the bin less than 8 times in that period. A few weeks ago, I attempted to shred a CD and it got about 1/4 the way through the CD and stopped shredding. The motor was still running but was obviously labored. I finally got the disk out and when I began shredding paper, found that I could shred no more than 2 sheets of thin paper or 1 sheet of heavier paper without the same result. Being rather handy, I disassembled the unit and found that the gear which drives the cutter was split. That gear is a composite gear; the actual teeth of the gear is a ring which is pressed over a plastic inner component. The hole in the plastic part is hexagonal and fits over a matching hexagonal shaft which is the drive bar for the cutter. The plastic part of the gear split which allows it to slip around the hexagonal cutter shaft so when too much is inserted, the cutter doesn't turn but the motor and gears continue to turn. I sent an inquiry though the "Contact Us" link at Fellowes but heard nothing. I just called their support number. They sell the gears in a kit, not separately and the cost was between $50 and $60. I mentioned that I was hesitant to spend that much because that gear was obviously a problem and I would never want to shred a CD or DVD. It was at this point the support person asked if I oiled my shredder regularly. I said yes but she continued to ask for more detail. She mentioned that you should oil the cutter after every bin full of paper. I said that I understood that and did but I don't use it very often. She again asked about my oil and I said that I have Fellowes oil and the bottle is about half full. She said that because I don't use it often, I should oil it before each use because the "oil will dry out". I disagreed and stated that the reason the cutter dries out is due to paper going through it and taking the oil with it. I said again, "oil does not dry out". She directly refuted that claim and said again that "oil DOES dry out". At this point, I hung up.

Bought this Shredder Fellowes PS-77Cs from Amazon.Com / J & R Music & Computer World for $124.00 plus no shipping.
It's a great unit, Very will made & runs quietly. Would have been nice if it had coasters. Manual is poorly written as most are. Should have included a can of lubricating oil & a few Confetti bags. Also I had to learn how to reinsert the confetti Bin after emptying it. You need to lift up & push in.
If you are only going to use only for a sheet or two once in a while you probably can find a unit for half the price. Don't get me wrong the PS-77Cs is a great unit & I would highly recommend it, except it may be over kill for some people.
