Welcome to MyBinding video. This is a review of the ShredStar X18, a level three cross cut shredder by HSM. Designed for the home or small office that needs a high level of security while shredding different kinds of documents and materials, the X18 is a great fit. Let's watch it in action and review its features.
Of highest importance on a shredder is its shred capacity. The X18 can handle 18 sheets of 20lb paper per shred with no problem. And in terms of what it can shred, just about anything: paper, cardstock, laminated materials, staples, paperclips, CDs, DVDs, and floppy disks. And it can do so with the speed of up to 6.25 feet per minute. There's a separate slot for CDs and DVDs, which we like because in the end it separates your recyclables from your non-recyclables. We actually had a difficult time creating a paper jam with the X18. But when we did, we hit the reverse button and everything backed out easily, just as it should. We like how you can access from the front the seven gallon waste bin. We also like the auto-shutoff when the bin is full. The shred is a small cross-cut shred at level three security. And the whole thing moves around on casters, very simple. All in all, we really liked this shredder. And for the price, it's a great buy.

HSM X18 Level 3 Cross Cut Paper Shredder Review
Due to the rise of identity theft and fraud, shredders are becoming a necessity in every office. The HSM X18 is a versatile shredder for home and small offices. It offers the secure disposal of not only paper but also a variety of media. Compact enough to sit under a desk, it also works as shared device between a few users. Here is a closer look at some of the details.
Strengths:
-
Sitting less than 15 inches tall, this petite device can tidily store under a desk or table for easy access. And though it weighs about 36 pounds, casters on the bottom allow easy mobility.
-
A toggle switch controls on, off, and reverse functions. Once the device is on, the motor sits in a standby mode without consuming energy. As items slide into the blades, the machine automatically starts and stops on cue. The automatic stop is also triggered by a full waste container. Reverse is helpful if a paper jam occurs; it will feed the jammed items back out to the user for easy clearing.
-
The motor utilizes a powerful drive system for high performance. Thermal fuse protection prevents overheating. Periodically, it may need to shut down for a cool off period.
-
A 8.9 inch opening accepts 18-21 sheets at once, shredding them as fast as 6.25 feet per minute. The blades devour stapled and paperclipped documents as well as credit cards, CDs, DVDs, and even floppy disks.
-
The cross cutting shafts turn full size documents into tiny pieces, only 5/32" by 1-1/8" in size. These small particles earn a level three security rating. This medium security is great for the disposal of bank statements, junk mail, generic office memos, and other confidential documents.
-
Paper remnants fall into a seven gallon waste bin. The container also has an opening for non-confidential waste, allowing it to double as a recycling receptacle.
-
This model carries a two year warranty on parts and labor. The actual cutters are guaranteed for an impressive 20 years.
Weaknesses:
-
The small pieces only offer a level three security rating. While most personal confidential information stays safe at this level, businesses requiring the secure disposal of highly classified documents will need a higher security machine, such as the HSM 125.2.
-
The motor isn't rated for continuous run. This means that after a short period of heavy use, the machine will need to cool down for 20-30 minutes. Offices needing only light use may not even notice this. But if you need heavier shredding and don't want to wait, we recommend looking into a machine with a more powerful motor.
-
Shredding 18 sheets at 6 feet per minute isn't very much. Since this is designed to be a personal shredder, these numbers are normal. However, this device won't stand up to more than light use. Be sure of your specific needs before you purchase a device that isn't enough.
Overall, the HSM X18 is an excellent deskside device. The smaller design is perfect for light use between a few people. The simple automated features offer ease of use and convenience. And the cross cut blades ensure your personal information stays safe. The HSM X18 is a great choice for your next personal deskside shredder.
