If you share an office with one or two other people, and your shredding needs are fairly light, you may want to consider purchasing the Fellowes SB-99Ci. A nice cross-cut shredder designed to destroy a respectable seventeen sheets at a time, the SB-99Ci also is able to easily shred credit cards, compact discs, DVDs, staples, and paper clips. Here we will take a close look at some of the pros and cons of owning a SB-99Ci.
Pros:
As with its many of its other shredders, Fellowes has equipped the SB-99Ci with its very impressive jam proof function that won’t allow the machine to run if someone is trying to feed it more than it can handle. This is a very important feature because paper jams can be a real mess, and not everyone is always going to know how much paper a given shredder can handle at one time. We tested it out, and found it to be effective, and liked the red light/green light system for letting us know whether we were within the limit or not. Whether you have a single shredder, or a few of them spread out around the floor of your business, the noise of the average shredder can be a bit of an annoyance to your office mates. The Fellowes SB-99Ci was pretty impressive in that it ran pretty much silently, and we couldn’t see how it would be much of a distraction over and above the hum of a normally functioning office. Safety is always a concern when using shredders, as one careless moment could cause some pretty serious injuries. To that end, Fellowes has developed a remarkable technology that places a sensor at the paper feed that is able to detect body heat, and will shut off the machine if you hand gets too close to the opening. We bravely checked it out, and it worked extremely well. We are guessing that Fellowes competitors will be trying to imitate this impressive safety feature sooner rather than later. We thought the 9 gallon bin was easy to empty and deal with in general, and we like the fact that the SB-99Ci has casters for easy moving about the office.
Cons:
Though this is pretty typical for a lighter use shredder like the SB-99Ci, it is important to know before you buy that this particular machine is designed to run for only about twenty minutes at a time before it will require an off time of forty minutes or so. Offices that need to continuously shred documents will want to consider a heavier duty shredder with a continuous duty motor. There is no jam release on the SB-99Ci, but we are guessing that is because Fellowes has such faith in its jam proof system that the figure you won’t need it. Also typical of most machines in its class, you will need to oil the cutters of the SB-99Ci periodically. Larger commercial shredders will include auto oiling technology. However, since this machine doesn’t have that type of technology, you will need to oil the shredder after every few uses. It seems to us that this machine could and should come with an automatic sleep mode to save power when not in use.
Recommendation: For light use, the SB-99Ci is about as reliable and feature-laden machine as you are going to find anywhere. The two year warranty is also a bonus, and it is worth noting that the cutter themselves are actually under warranty for the life of the machine. You can’t do much better than that.
