MBM Destroyit 2240 Strip Cut Paper Shredder Review
One choice in an array of deskside shredders for home and small office use is the MBM Destroyit 2240 Strip Cut Paper Shredder. This small powerhouse is packed with functions that make it simple and easy to use. The durable steel blades are controlled by a single multifunction button as well as an automatic start and stop device. The whole unit is backed by a one year warranty with a lifetime warranty on the cutting shafts and wheels. Here are more details about the 2240.
Strengths:
- The compact design of this machine makes it ideal for personal or small office use. A photo cell controlled automatic start and stop function senses when items are slid into the machine and begins shredding immediately. A single, multifunction control switch with backlit icons offers options for stand-by, stop and reverse functions in one easily operated button.
- The paper entry measures just short of 9 inches and accepts 10-12 sheets at one time. Together with shredding rates at 12 feet per minute, this shredder offers excellent capacity for personal or small office use. Equipped with hardened steel cutting shafts, this machine easily digests stapled and paper clipped documents as well as credit cards, keeping your information safe. A safety shield at the feed entry keeps fingers and other object from accessing the blades, making it safe for use around children and pets.
- The motor is outfitted with double protection against overheating, saving you money on potential repairs. The gears are house in a dust-proof enclosure, keeping them free of paper molecules that could cause damage and negatively affect the machine's performance.
- An impact resistant, plastic shred bin holds up to 5 gallons of paper waste. A convenient handle lifts the shredding unit from the container, allowing the bin to be easily emptied. When the shredder is removed from the container the machine automatically shuts off.
Weaknesses:
- The Destroyit 2240 only provides a level 2 security. Even so, the 3/16 inch strips are enough protection for most home offices and many small businesses. If you are looking for a higher security machine, MBM makes cross cut models comparable to this one.
- The throat width is a limited 8-3/4 inches. For average personal and small office usage, this is completely adequate and won't be a problem. However, larger items won't easily fit through. Businesses with many longer documents may wish to upgrade to a larger model.
- This model only accepts up to 12 sheets at once at a rate of 12 feet per minute. Again, this is suitable for most home and small business use. Medium to large offices will most likely want consider a higher model with more capacity.
The Destroyit has an abundance of features making it ideal for a small, deskside shredder. A single control switch as well as a photo cell controlled on/off offers convenient and uncomplicated use. With the ability to handle staples, paper clips and credit cards, the steel blades efficiently accommodate the shredding needs of any home or small office. The 2240 is an excellent option for your next deskside shredder.
