The MBM DestroyIt AL1 Micro-Cut Shredder: A Review
Are you looking for a handy paper shredder that won’t take up a lot of room but will still provide you with a good level of security? If so, the MBM DestroyIt AL1 is a machine you should definitely check out. We had a chance to try this machine out so we could discover its strengths and weaknesses. Here they are:
Strengths:
- The AL1 is a great machine to choose if you require a high level of security. This is a micro-cut shredder and it will turn your documents into countless shreds that measure just 3/32” x 5/8”. The machine has a Level 4 security rating so you can protect private information like bank account numbers and proprietary materials.
- This shredder has a 9.5-inch feed opening that can easily handle small items like canceled checks and letter- and legal-sized paper. The machine’s shredding head is extremely durable, so you will be able to shred credit cards for additional security. You also won’t need to remove staples and paper clips from your documents, which can help you save time.
- Operating the AL1 is safe because it’s equipped with a Safety Protection System. The system features a transparent safety shield located in the feed opening to keep your fingers safe. The shield is electronically controlled so you won’t need to mess around with it. All together, this device operates quietly so you won’t disturb your colleagues while using it.
- Overall, the machine is easy to use because it has a color-coded control panel and an automatic reverse mode. When the waste bin gets full, the machine will shut down automatically so you can recycle your shreds. If you don’t use the shredder for an hour or so, the device will go into an energy-saving mode.
- The AL1 is one of the sleekest paper shredders on the market. Its approximate dimensions are 24” (height) x 16” (width) x 10” (depth) so finding room for it is a snap. If you want to customize the shredder’s look, you can order customized side panels for it. This is a great choice if you want to display your company’s logo.
- Finally, this device’s cutting shafts are really durable. They’re covered by a lifetime warranty.
Weaknesses:
- This machine has an 11-sheet shredding capacity. This is typical for a micro-cut machine, unfortunately. Basically, if you want a machine that offers a high level of security, you will be getting a device that has a low shredding capacity.
- The AL1 has a 6.5-gallon waste bin so it’s best for personal and/or small office use.
The MBM DestroyIt AL1 is a terrific paper shredder and it’s great if you need something that won’t take up a lot of room but still give you the right amount of security. This micro-cut device can help you protect your private information and it’s safe and easy to use. This machine is pretty durable so you will be able to get a lot of use out of it. True, the AL1 doesn’t have an exceptional shredding capacity, but that’s typical for a micro-cut shredder. If the AL1 sounds like the right shredder for your needs, be sure to check it out today.
