Paper shredders are a staple in all professional office settings, but they are also important for home businesses and frequent personal use. Think of all the substantial documents you print off your computer and receive in the mail. Your monthly utility bills, information about your mortgage, property taxes, insurance, credit card bills, bank statements, and the list goes on; every one of these things contains personal information that no one ever wants someone else getting a hold of. While you may have been simply recycling or throwing away these documents for years, doing this does not guarantee that the information printed on those pieces of paper is kept confidential. That is where the importance of a paper shredder comes in.

The first personal paper shredder was designed and manufactured 22 years ago, in 1990 by Fellowes, Inc. Considered the category leader in product innovation, they have continued to stay at the forefront of the technology that is responsible for making shredding easier, safer, and faster. This attention to detail and top notch technological design is what has made Fellowes remain a trusted brand over the past two decades, and it is what you can expect from their newest personal paper shredder, the Fellowes 79Ci.

This new personal shredder was created to address shredding needs in the home, home office, or small and shared business settings, and it has some really impressive features.

The number one complaint with any shredder is jamming. Fellowes is the only brand on the market with 100% Jam Proof Technology. A sophisticated sensor measures the thickness of a paper stack and automatically stops a paper jam before it occurs, saving you time and a whole lot of frustration while maximizing productivity.

Fellowes Cross-Cut Technology uses heavy duty blades to shred one single piece of paper into 399 different pieces, making it nearly impossible to piece back together and keeping all of your personal information strictly confidential. Because this shredder is meant to be used in either a small business, shared workspace, or home environment, the SilentShred™ Technology ensures that the shredder is as quiet as possible with the use of a whisper-quiet motor. With this technology, you won’t be disturbing people working alongside you or waking the baby up from a nap every time you need to shred something. Speaking of tiny fingers, the SafeSense® Technology uses an advanced electronic safety sensor that automatically disables the shredder when hands touch the paper opening, ensuring that the shredder is completely safe to use in any and all personal spaces without fear.

The Fellowes 79Ci is available now at Staples for $239.99. What technology features of the Fellowes 79Ci have you most excited about this personal paper shredder?
