MBM Destroyit 3105 Level 4 Cross-Cut Paper Shredder Review

If you need a heavy duty, quality shredder with a good security rating, then the MBM Destroyit 3105 Level 4 Cross Cut shredder is for you. A lifetime warranty backs the hardened steel cutting shafts that rapidly dice documents into tiny pieces while the rest of the device carries a one year guarantee. The Safety Protection System as well as numerous automatic features offer simple, easy use. Here is a more in depth look at the 3105.

Strengths:

• The Safety Protection System starts with an electronically driven safety shield over the opening, safeguarding against fingers or other objects entering the blades. A photo cell sensor detects inserted paper and starts shredding immediately. Use is run by a singular element with options for stand-by, stop, and reverse. Backlit icons indicate running status. Automatic stop triggers when the door is open, the shred bag is full, or there is a jam. If a paper jam occurs, the auto reverse helps unclog the blades by feeding paper back out to the user. Lastly, an energy saving mode reduces the motor to a sleep mode to save electricity.

• High quality blades are powered by a single phase motor that is double protected against overheating and built for continuous use. An automatically oiled robust chain drive and durable gears housed in a dustproof casing act to keep your shredder reliably working.

• A 12 inch feed opening accepts up to 20 sheets at once and shreds them as fast as 30 feet per minute. The Electronic Capacity Control indicates the exact sheet capacity level while in use. The particles created are only 3/32 inch by 5/8 inch in size, tiny enough to provide a level 4 security rating. This not only keeps your information safe but also that of your clients.

• The minute shreds are deposited into a 48 gallon plastic bag that is suspended in the wooden cabinet by a pull-out bag frame mounted on rollers for easy removal. The high quality wood reduces noise by absorbing sound produced by the motor, giving you a quieter office.

Weaknesses:

• The blades can only handle 18-20 sheets at once. Coupled with shred speeds of 30 feet per minute, 20 sheets at a time is ample for many offices. However, those with high volume shredding needs may be interested in an upgrade to a larger machine with a higher capacity.

• Weighing 324 pounds, this shredder is fairly heavy. Even so, it is mounted on casters for easy mobility and we think you won't have to worry too much about its weight.

The MBM Destroyit 3105 Level 4 provides a reliable and secure shredder for your office. The Safety Protection System as well as many automatic features make use safe and easy. The tiny particles created by the high quality blades offer security for you and your clientele. We would recommend the 3105 Level 4 Cross Cut for your next secure central office shredder.
