Dahle 30104 Level 2 Strip Cut Personal Paper Shredder Review

Designed to be placed beside your desk and used on an as-needed basis, the Dahle 30104 is a strip cut shredder that may be a good choice for customers who need a quick and easy way to destroy a few documents in a typical day. In the following report, we take a look at the 30104, and present you with a list of what we consider to be the machines strengths and weaknesses. Strengths: For a shredder that is designed to be used by one person intermittently throughout the day, the 30104 has a pretty nice capacity. This small shredder can handle up to 12 sheets at a time, and operates at a speed of 15 feet per minute. This is not bad for such a small machine. The 30104 is well designed, and for such a small machine, we were really impressed with the 8 gallon bin size. That means that you will have to empty it less often, and that is a major plus. The 30104 features an electronic sensor that turns the machine on when you position the paper at the feed opening, and then off again when the job is done. We thought that was a nice feature in a shredder that is meant to be placed conveniently at arm's length. This machine also features Bag Full Auto Off function that turns the shredding mechanism of automatically when the shred bag is full and needs to be emptied. The cutting blades of the 30104 are made of solid steel, and allow thus machine to easily handle paper clips, staples, and even credit cards with ease, and the blades carry with them a lifetime warranty. The dimensions of the 30104 are such that it will not take up much room in your office, and you could probably even place it under your desk if you wish. This is also a very nice looking machine, featuring rounded lines and "euro" styling. It is not very often that you can say that an office machine is attractive, but this one is. Weaknesses: The 30104 runs at a pretty good clip, but you need to be aware that this is only a Level 2 security, strip-cut shredder. This means that it may not be the best fit for you if the documents that you will be need to destroy are of a highly confidential nature. If you want more security, you will have to step up to a personal shredder such as Dahle's 30114, which offers a FACTA-compliant, Level 3 cross-cut. The 30104's throat width of 8-3/4 inches is enough to handle letter and legal sized sheets, but if you need to shred larger documents on a regular basis, you will either need to fold or cut them first to get them into the opening. One thing that you will need to be aware of with the 30104, as with any shredder, is the possibility of the machine overheating if you exceed its intended capacity. The 30104 does feature thermal protection, but all that means is that the shredder will turn itself off when it gets too hot. If this happens, you will need to wait for the machine to cool down before you can use it again.
