| One choice of many smaller shredders is the MBM Destroyit 2360. Designed for low to medium shredding volumes, this machine is compact yet powerful. At 25 inches tall, it fits neatly next to your desk for easy access. The Safety Protection System and many automatic features work to provide a safe, uncomplicated device. Let's take a closer look at the 2360. Strengths: - A photo cell controlled automatic start and stop detects when paper is inserted into the feed and begins shredding right when needed. The high quality, hardened steel blades shred your documents into thin, unreadable strips less than ¼ inch wide and easily digest staples, paperclips and credit cards. A lifetime warranty guarantees the cutting shafts and wheels, while the rest of the device carries a one year warranty (except wearables).
- The Safety Protection System utilizes original designs make use of the device safe, even around young children and pets. An automated transparent safety shield keeps fingers and other objects out of the paper feed. The "Easy Switch" function allows multiple operations to be controlled by a single device. Backlit with easy to read status symbols, this solitary switch activates three functions: stand-by, stop (off), and reverse. All three are also electronically controlled. Stop activates automatically when the shred bag is full, the cabinet door is open, or if a paper jam occurs. Auto reverse feeds jammed paper back out to the user, helping to unclog the blades. Finally, the machine is outfitted with an environmentally friendly energy saving mode. After one hour of inactivity, it powers down to a sleep mode, saving you electricity.
- The powerful single phase motor is double protected against overheating, helping you avoid costly repairs. A fully enclosed gearbox in a dust proof casing aids in keeping your shredder in top running condition.
- A wooden cabinet mounted on casters houses the 9.25 gallon waste container. The high quality wood design absorbs the sound, reducing the motor noise. A reusable plastic bag sits in the waste bin for easy, environmentally friendly disposal.
Weaknesses: - The security rating of this strip cut model is only a level 2. For the average home and small office shredding low risk documents, this provides enough protection. Those wanting more security should look at this model in a cross cut or super micro cut version.
- A 9-1/2 inch feed is limiting. Combined with the ability of handling 12-14 sheets at once at 27 feet per minute, the width constraint won't present a problem for the use of most small offices with low to moderate shredding needs. Offices needing to quickly shred many wider documents may consider an upgrade to a centralized office model with a wider throat width.
All in all, this shredder is well-suited for the low risk, light to moderate shredding needs of any office. Small size with decent capacities makes it ideal for a small business shredder. Backed by warranty and packed with safety and automatic features, the Destroyit 2360 Strip Cut paper shredder is a reliable and safe choice for your next low security, small office shredder. |
