This shredder has a indicator light when you are putting through too many papers which is great to keep it from jamming.  Also a light comes on when the bin is full.  Very user friendly.

I purchased this mini shredder because I really have very little to shred.  I would not recommend it for those who have a lot of shredding to do because this shredder can only handle a few sheets at a time.  Nevertheless, I am satisfied with its performance thus far and recommend it.

The Royal Machine HT88 replaced a shredder I purchased at target 10 years ago. I've had it a month now and use it frequently. For the light amount of shredding I do, it works like a dream and it looks much better than the one it replaced. I highly recommend it for a home office.

Works great and haven't had any problems with it in the couple of months I had it.  I just use it for shredding junk mail and old bills.  I had a bunch of things to shred when I first got it that had built up after my last cheap shredder died and it handled it all fine without overheating, but otherwise use it pretty lightly.  I had heard good things about the Fellowes brand so hoping it will last a long time.

I am very satisfied with this shredder.  I had purchased one at a retail store years ago and I liked it so much that I wanted another one just like it.  I had a hard time finding one until I looked on Amazon.com.
I use it for personal paperwork at home.  As with any shredder, if you don't overload it, it will last longer.

This is my second fellows, the first one lasted 18 years  so I would recommend  them to anyone who want a good quality shredder at a very low price.

Excellent shredder,  takes several pieces at a time,  and shreds to smithereens.  Have not had any problems aside from it heating up and stopping with high usage.  After resting for a few hours it will start back up again.  I had stacks and stacks of papers initially and it did require several days to go through as I had to let rest  rest when it go to hot.  But now I use it just as needed so no more high volume usage.

Upgraded from an old crosscut Fellowes shredder and very pleased with the small size of the shred and the quietness.

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.

Consider my rating 4 1/2 stars, the only reason I took off half a star is it is not as quiet as I expected from the advertised "ultra quiet operation".  We have the Fellowes Powershred 73Ci and the AmazonBasics is about two to three times louder, it was actually only a little quieter than the Fellowes W-11C, which is loud.

Other than that I like this shredder a lot.  I really like the micro-cut, the smaller the better and for this reason prefer the AmazonBasics over the 73Ci.  While the 73Ci is quieter and more sophisticated it costs quite a bit more than the AmazonBasics.  The AmazonBasics also feels sturdier and has smaller cuts.  The operation is very easy and have not had any jams but have used it only a few times for paper right now.  Will update in the future.  Very highly recommended.

Being both powerful and quiet, this is an excellent shredder. Surely this would more than suffice for any home or small office environment.

This shredder is everything and more than I could have asked for in a home/small office shredder. I am a special education teacher and need to shred confidential documents on a regular basis.  The micro-cut shred does a great job.  The price was excellent at $99.00. I do use oil to keep it working smoothly.

I LOVE my Fellowes Powershred--and so far, it's true, it really is "100% Jam Proof."I've never used a better shredder--It's easy to use, handles staples and large amounts of paper with no problem, and the garbage bag drawer is huge and super simple to change out. Well worth every penny--one of the best tools I've ever purchased.

This shredder replaces a cheaper Fellowes that I had used in my office for years.
This model is great!  It takes multiple sheets of paper ( up to 10 or maybe a few more).
It is very quiet.
I can use kitchen trashcan-size bags in the shredder collection area--there are plastic "hooks" to attach the bags.  That way, when the bag is full, we just replace it with another.  Very little picking up shreds compared to the other shredders we have had through the years.
I liked it so much that I bought a second shredder for use at home in my wife's home office.  It's great too.

I bought this to replace my Fellowes shredder.  It works just great and shreds a lot finer than my old one.  It isn't very loud either.
