closer look at this convenient shredder.
Strengths:
All
MBM shredders are amply equipped with safety features and this one is
no different. A protective safety shield blocks fingers and other
objects from entering the blades. Start and stop is controlled by a
photo cell sensor that detects paper in the feed and begins shredding
when needed. One simple button operates stand-by, stop and reverse
functions. Backlit symbols display operational status. Power is
automatically cut from the motor if the shred bag is full, the cabinet
door is open, or there is a paper jam. Jams are easily cleared as the
auto reverse slides overfed paper back out to the user. To conserve
energy, the machine powers down to a "sleep" mode after one hour of
inactivity.
A powerful single phase motor drives the
hardened steel blades and is rated for continuous operation. Double
protection from overheating helps prolong the life of your shredder. It
also boasts of a sturdy chain drive system and durable gears housed in
a dustproof chamber to stave off corrosion. An automatic oil injection
system keep everything running smoothly.
A wide 16 inch
opening accepts a whopping 50-52 sheets at once and also takes in
staples, paperclips, credit cards and CDs. A electronic display shows
the exact sheet capacity level during use. Documents are sliced as fast
as 40 feet per minute, one of the fastest rates offered by MBM
Destroyit.
The strips are collected in a sizable 59 gallon
shred bag. The bag is mounted on a pull-out frame for easy removal and
replacement. A high-quality wooden cabinet contains the shreds and acts
as a noise reducer by absorbing sound from the motor, resulting in a
quieter shredding experience.
Weaknesses:
Only
a level 2 security rating is achieved by the ¼ inch strips. For generic
office shredding, this safely rips up most documents. If you need safer
document destruction, this model is also available in higher security
versions.
This shredder weighs a hefty 343 pounds. It sits
on casters, making it easily moved from one location to another and we
don't foresee size to be a big issue for most users. If this is larger
than you're looking for, check out some of MBM's smaller centralized or
deskside shredders.
We think this machine is well suited to
the low security needs of medium to larger offices. Awesome capacities
and a plethora of automatic features make this shredder quick and easy
to use. A warranty guarantees reliability and offers peace of mind. The
Destroyit 4005 Strip Cut is a great choice for your next office
shredder.
