Working at Home

I have a GREAT giveaway here :) It’s a child friendly – pet friendly – home friendly paper shredder perfect for your Work at Home Office!

If you accept credit cards for your business or handle other sensitive information for clients, a shredder is a must. Then there’s our own important personal info to safeguard.

WAHM Talk Radio Contributing Host Sarah Zeldman received one of these to review. She says:

“Well, I got mine, and I tested it—and it does exactly what they say it will do. For WAHMs who are concerned about identity theft, and want a shredder that will be safe around their children and pets—it’s a good choice!”

The Product:

The Fellowes PS-79Ci shredder is uniquely designed to address personal deskside and shared use shredding needs in the home, home office or business setting.

The PS-79Ci shredder eliminates jams and prevents overloads by instantly calculating the amount of paper being fed into the machine and features a sophisticated sensor that measures the thickness of a paper stack and automatically stops a paper jam before it occurs.Similar to a traffic light that lets a driver know when they can proceed, an indicator light lets the user know when they are nearing sheet capacity.

The Fellowes PS-79Ci also features patented SafeSenseTM technology that automatically disables the shredder when sensing hands or large pets are too close to the paper opening, and SilentShredTM technology that features a whisper quiet motor that alleviates common shredder noises.

The Contest:

You can enter to win this great Work at Home Office tool (Value $180) by leaving a comment below. We’ll choose one winner at random on February 19th.


Learn more about the prize, listen to this quick interview that Sarah Zeldman recorded for us.

  • This is great! My kids love to put stuff in my current shredder (supervised of course!) but still makes me nervous! Would love this for worry free kid-assisted shredding!! And, wouldn't hurt that 'big people' are protected as well (and the cat....)
  • I'd love to win this shredder. I need one for all my paperwork that needs shredding.

    <abbr>Nanettes last blog post..Love is in the Air</abbr>
  • Wow...would love to win this. I definitely need one of these. I had one many years ago and wore it out, but just can not afford a new one.

  • Christina Brunetti
    I would love to have this.

    Thanks
  • This looks like a great deal. I have looked at shredders, but haven't ever felt I could spend the money on one for myself. I would love to have it. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
  • I so need this! We are on the road to a temporary job (12-18 months) in another state. We only brought the essentials and a few favorite things...and I forgot the shredder, which I consider essential! This one would be safe for when the grandkids visit, too!
  • John
    This looks like a great little shredder and we need a new one!
  • Sherrie
    I would love a shredder like this. Our youngest daughter is always wanting to help shred, but I have been afraid she would get hurt. This would be perfect!
  • I'm in the market for a shredder and I've had my eye on one of Fellowes' offerings. I've got a bunch of documents dating back to 2002 that need to be put out of their misery. :)

  • emily lee
    looks great!! would love to have a shredder!
  • Mary
    It is a very nice looking shredder. I have not gotten one yet because I too am afraid of my girls getting hurt. I use a scissors to do my shredding. Think of all the time I will have to do my laundry if I win!! ;)
  • stephanie p
    i'm always hiding mine from the kiddos...this would be great!!
  • Sandy
    I would love this shredder!I always wanted one,but was scared to have one because of the kids.I had nightmares about them getting their hands caught in them!!!
  • Josie Fuller
    This is a great shredder, I don't use one now because of the kids.
  • Sheila Penrod
    This would be great to have. Right now I save everything up in a pile and take it to my parents' to shred, when I remember. :)
  • As someone who does taxes a shredder is a MUST for me. I have one of those you put over a trash can, which is great because I can store it in a drawer when I'm not using it, BUT...with three kids always on the go, I never have time to shred things because I'm always worried about little hands. Not to mention, it doesn't fit any of my trash cans. LOL

    I've contemplated hiring my 11 yo to do my shredding (I have a box full of stuff that needs shredding right now) but because he is like his mama and a bit clumsy I haven't yet for fear he'll hurt himself or his 3 yo brother will think it's a toy and want to do what big brother is doing and help.

    This shredder would be a god send to all of us.

    I was just thinking about purchasing a new shredder the other day. I was moving things around the office and was concerned about having one that was child and pet friendly. My youngest is 11 months old and I also have two cats. I was going to start looking around. This one would be perfect!

  • Just the other day I was wondering if there was a shredder like this. I have a shredder that just sits in my closet because I have 3 small children and no place to put the shredder, SO if I ever need to use it I have to get it down out of the closet and sit down with a big bag of paper that needs to be shredded!

    So I would LOVE to win this. How awesome!
