How Well Does the DestroyIt 4005 (1/4 Inch) Strip Cut Shredder Stack up Against the Competition?

Reviewing the DestroyIt 4005 (1/4") Strip Cut Shredder

After looking over the DestroyIt 4005 (1/4") Strip Cut Shredder we were quite pleased with its specs. Now it may not be the cheapest on the market but we think that the few extra bucks you'll spend will be worth it. Check out the specs below and judge for yourself.

Security

This is the second lowest level of security available rated at a 2. This strip-cut shredder is a tad better than a level 1 machine but not a whole lot. If you are really concerned about the information on your documents then we highly recommend that you start looking at some of the cross-cut machines. The one benefit of the strip-cut machine is that you can shred faster and more pages per pass. Just make sure that you are choosing the right security level for your needs.

Shredable Material

The DestroyIt 4005 (1/4") Strip Cut Shredder can shred CDs, Credit Cards, Paper, Paper Clips, Staples . If you need to be able to shred something else then we recommend that you look at a larger machine and/or look for something with a little bit lower security (the higher the security the less likelihood that the machine shreds something other than paper).

Continuous Motor

This shredder is rated for continuous operation. That means that theoretically you could shred all day long and the machine would not shave to shut-down to cool off. Remember that results may vary under real-world operating conditions and things such as the temperature of the room will affect the ability of this motor to stay cool and continue to shred. We give this machine 2 pats on the back for being rated continuous duty and we know that you'll appreciate this feature in due time.

Bin Size

With a 59 the DestroyIt 4005 (1/4") Strip Cut Shredder is going to take quite some time to fill up unless you are shredding non-stop. Your bags will be pretty heavy so go ahead and cut off your gym membership to save a little bit of money. Just make sure every time you empty the bin that your machine is getting enough oil!

Throat Size

A 16 inch throat means that you can fit just about anything into this bad boy. Gone are the days of folding your oversized paper or crumpling and jamming your machine with regular-sized paper. This guy gets 2 thumbs up for the often underestimated large throat size.

Auto Oiler

This machine gets a huge bonus for having the automatic oiler already installed. This means that you don't have to worry about oiling the machine or figuring out who oiled it last. It is a fact that well oiled cutting heads will prolong the life of your machine. All you have to worry about is changing the oil in the reservoir and you're good-to-go.

Warranty

The DestroyIt 4005 (1/4") Strip Cut Shredder comes with a 1 year warranty parts - Lifetime warranty on cutting shafts. This means that you have plenty of time to test out the machine and make sure that everything is running smoothly. Just make sure to properly care for your machine and you shouldn't have any issues.

Price

The MSRP is $6,599. 00 but you can find it for much less online if you look around. Don't let the price deter you until you do a little bit of comparison shopping first.
