These days, you can't be too careful when
it comes to making sure that the documents you want shredded stay
shredded. There are a few newer machines on the market that promise a
level of shredding that is unprecedented, better than even the smallest
cross cut capabilities. Here we will take a closer look at one such
machine, the Fellowes MS-460Ci.
Pros:
The main advantage of the MS-460Ci is its micro shred
technology. We're not sure how it does it, but this shredder positively
obliterates paper, creating shreds of 5/64ths of an inch by 25/64ths.
This translates to an average page being turned into three thousand
particles, versus around four hundred for the typical cross cut
shredder. That is some real security, and should give anyone genuine
peace of mind when it comes to shredding your most highly confidential
documents.
The MS-460Ci comes with Fellowes' SafeSense
technology. SafeSense is a pretty ingenious safety function that is
able to detect body heat, and will thus stop the shredding process
immediately when it senses that your hand is too close to the cutting
mechanism.
One added bonus of creating particles that are
so small is that the bin holds around 80% more paper per gallon than
the average cross cut machine. That means that you can shred a lot more
paper and empty the bin a lot less often. We figure that anyone in
their right mind would have to consider that a win win situation.
Also
in the "we don't know how they did it" category, we were amazed at how
quiet the MS-460Ci was during normal operation. We looked up the
product specs and Fellowes claims that the machine puts out 64dB of
sound, which is quieter than a busy restaurant, and only a little bit
louder than a normal conversation.
Another of Fellowes
unique features is its jam proof system, and they included it on the
MS-460Ci. This system is designed to save users a lot of headaches,
since not everyone who will use the machine knows how many sheets it is
designed to handle. It works by automatically sensing the amount of
paper that the user it trying to feed it at one time, and either giving
you the green light or the red light. We tested the system out, and it
worked great. The machine would not operate if the stack we were
feeding it was too big.
Cons:
Though it's hard to fault a machine that shreds paper
into such tiny bits for being relatively low capacity, the MS-460Ci can
only handle about twelve sheets at one time. But again, those twelve
sheets are turned into something between confetti and powder, so who
can complain?
Again, probably due to its remarkable cutting
ability, the MS-460Ci can only be run for fifteen minutes at a time
before it needs a twenty five minute rest. We are thinking that because
this type of technology is so new, these numbers will improve over time.
Recommendation: If you want the one of the highest security levels
available in a deskside shredder along with an excellent one year
warranty, you would be hard pressed to find a better shredder than the
Fellowes MS-460Ci
