Dahle 40104 Deskside Level 2 Strip-Cut Paper Shredder Review
If you need a new paper shredder for your workplace, you probably know that there are plenty on the market. However, one strip-cut machine that stands out is the Dahle 40104. This is a shredder that is loaded with special features. Take a look at its strengths and weaknesses to determine if it's right for you:
Strengths:
- The 40104 can shred up to 15 sheets at a time which a terrific amount. The feed opening is 8.75" wide so you won't have any trouble shredding letter- and legal-sized documents. Plus, the machine can shred up to 22 feet of paper per minute, so it operates pretty quickly. In total, you should be able to shred up to 400 sheets a day with this device.
- This shredder's cutters are durable enough to tear up documents that still have staples or paper clips attached to them. The device can also destroy credit and debit cards so you can secure your banking information.
- You can save electricity with this machine since it has a SmartPower multi-stage energy management system. This system helps reduce the amount of power the shredder uses when it's not in use.
- If you want, you can line this shredder's 8-gallon waste bin with gusseted shred bags. Gusseted bags can hold much more waste than typical bags, so you will be emptying the bin less often.
- Overall, the 40104 is very well-made and it features both a wooden cabinet and cutting cylinders made out of German steel. The wooden cabinet and rubber shock mounts help muffle noise so your work area can stay somewhat peaceful.
- Finally, this shredder's cutting cylinders are backed by a lifetime warranty. Other parts and labor are covered for 2 years, so you have excellent warranty coverage all together.
Weaknesses:
- The 40104's biggest weakness is that it has a level 2 security rating. (The highest security rating available is level 6.) That means the machine is good for everyday shredding, but you should avoid shredding highly confidential documents with it.
- Although this machine only has an 8-gallon waste bin, it's still pretty large. Its approximate dimensions are 25" x 17" x 14" so you probably won't be able to store it under a desk. The machine does have casters on the bottom of it so moving it around won't be an issue.
The Dahle 40104 is an impressive strip-cut machine, especially if you want something with a lot of technologically advanced features. This shredder can help you save power, it can shred credit cards, and it comes with two terrific warranties. Yes, this machine does have a couple of weaknesses. For one thing, it's a strip-cut machine that doesn't offer the highest level of security. Also, the device is big which could be problematic depending on how large your workspace is. However, if the weaknesses don't concern you, check out the Dahle 40104 today. You'll be glad you did.
