Does your office need a paper shredder, but are you also running out of room and could use more storage space? If so, you'll want to take a look at the Intimus 402CC Console Cross-Cut Shredder. This is a product that offers great document security, as well as a handy storage area for your office supplies and/or machines. Let's take a closer look at this product so we can discover both its strengths and weaknesses. Strengths: -
If you're looking for a shredder that can take care of your letter- and legal-sized documents, the 402CC certainly can. It has a feed opening that's 9.5 inches wide, the perfect width for everyday documents that are 8.5 inches across. -
This is a cross-cut shredder that produces shreds that measure 1/8" x 1". These pieces are so tiny that no one will be able to reassemble anything you shred. In other words: all your private information will be safe. -
This shredder can take care of as many as 16 sheets of paper per pass. For a cross-cut device, that's a pretty impressive amount. If you want to look at it a different way, this machine can shred 20 feet of paper per minute. Plus, this device will start shredding just as soon as you place paper in it. (Note: the shredding itself will be super quiet so your colleagues won't be disturbed.) It will then shut down when the sheets have been shredded. -
Since work space is usually at a premium in any office, the 402CC comes with a built-in storage shelf. You can use this space to store documents or you could even place a phone, printer, or fax machine on it. This space is 16.75" wide and 19.5" deep. -
And speaking of space, the 402CC won't take over the entire office. It has dimensions of 16.75" (width) x 19.5" (depth) x 27.75" (height). Plus, it only weighs about 85 pounds and it has casters to make moving it a snap. -
This device has a number of LED lights to let you know what's going on. They include alerts for a full waste bin, a paper jam, and if the waste bin is removed. -
If you ever try to overload this shredder with paper, it will automatically stop. You can then use the reverse mode to remove the extra sheets and try again. This helps prevent the motor from overheating. Weaknesses: -
This machine was designed to be used by multiple people in an office setting. However, its waste bin only has a 1.14 cubic feet capacity. This isn't particularly large and you may find yourself emptying the bin on a fairly regular basis. -
The 402CC can't shred plastic items such as CD's, floppy disks, and credit cards. You should consider a multimedia machine if you need to shred those types of items. Overall, the Intimus 402CC would be a great choice if you need to balance your shredding needs with the desire for more space in your office. It will keep your private information safe, it operates quietly, and it will give you a little extra room for your supplies and tools.
