GBC Shredmaster GDS2219 Jam Free Strip Cut Paper Shredder Review
If you’re in the market for a speedy, low security shredder to share between multiple users, look no further. The GBC Shredmaster GDS2219 offers a quick, convenient way to quickly destroy generic office documents you don’t want lying around. This durable machine offers quiet use and simple operation with a warranty backing. Here is a closer look at the details of the GDS2219.
Strengths:
- One free hand is all you need to use this machine. Simply slide your items in and the machine does the work for you, turning the blades on and off as needed. After two minutes of no use, the motor powers down to an energy conserving sleep mode to save electricity. A backlit panel of icons keeps you updated on the machine’s status.
- GBC’s innovative Jam Free technology works by preventing jams before they occur. Too much paper in the feed slot cuts power to the blades and turns the throat red. Removing the excess will change the light back to green and allow you to continue shredding as normal. In the case of an actual jam, clogged items are returned to the user by the automatic reverse function.
- The motor provides two nice features. First, it doesn’t need the frequent cool down periods like smaller engines require. This one will shred all day. Second, it offers quiet operation. It runs around a 60 decibel sound level, a significant 10 decibels less than its competition. In layman’s terms, this shredder makes about as much noise as a normal conversation one yard away while other machines can be as loud as a vacuum cleaner.
- A nine inch wide throat accepts a nice stack of 22 sheets at once. It can also take in staples, paperclips, credit cards, CDs, and DVDs. Items are processed as fast as 10 feet per minute.
- Thin ¼” strips are collected in a generous 19 gallon waste bin. An indicator on the control panel alerts users to a full shred bag. The container sits in a pull-out drawer for simple removal and replacement of the bag.
- The cutters are covered by a lifetime warranty with a two year guarantee on the rest of the device. Two years of on-site service is also provided.
Weaknesses:
- Though the strips created are unreadable, they only provide a level 2 security rating. This is adequate for generic office documents, such as memos and old work orders. But any confidential information should go through a cross cut device, such as the GDX2019.
- This device weighs about 66 pounds when empty. Though not significantly heavy, it will still be bulky and awkward to pick up and move around. Thankfully, there are casters mounted on the bottom for easy mobility. Most users don’t find this to be a problem.
As you can see, the Shredmaster GDS2219 by GBC is a great system for any office. Combining decent capacities with functional design and simple operation, this machine is both efficient and convenient. The blades quickly slice documents all day long. And a warranty assures you of the quality of this device. We think the GBC GDS2219 is an excellent choice for your next office shredder.
