In today s eco minded world, the MBM Destroyit 2270 stands out as a greener shredder. Packed with features that conserve energy and promote recycling, the 2270 is an excellent choice for a deskside shredder. Let s take a closer look.
Strengths:
* A photo cell controlled automatic start and stop function detects when paper is fed into the 8.75 inch opening and begins shredding immediately. A separate slot shreds CDs, DVDs, and credit cards. Both are protected by a transparent safety shield that guards against flying particles. The entire unit is controlled by a single, multifunction switch that has three operation modes: stand by, stop, and reverse. The stop mode is automatically triggered when the shred bin is full, the cabinet door is open, or if there is a paper jam. In the event of a jam, the auto reverse feeds the items back out to the user, helping to unclog the blades.
* Another environmentally friendly feature is the Energy Saving Mode. After one hour of inactivity, the machine powers down to a sleep mode to conserve electricity.
* The hardened steel cutting shafts are backed by a lifetime warranty. They are powerful enough to shred 10 12 sheets at once as fast as 12 feet per minute. The blades for the paper slot are able to eat through staples, paper clips and credit cards. The shredding heads are powered by a robust single phase motor, double protected against overheating. The gearbox is enclosed in a dustproof housing. Coupled together, these ensure your machine stays in top working condition and save you money on potential costly repairs.
* Finally, the shred strips are deposited into a removable bin fitted with a window to show how many shreds have been collected. Separate compartments collect paper and plastic, allowing the paper to be easily added to the recycle bin while the plastic is thrown away. The bin holds approximately 5 gallons of paper waste and ¾ gallon of CD pieces. A high quality wooden cabinet houses the shred bin and absorbs the motor noise, making for a quieter office.
Weaknesses:
* This shredder is a strip cut device, providing only a level 2 security rating. Paper is sliced into 3/16 inch strips and is secure enough for most personal and general office documents. For businesses needing more security, this model also comes in a cross cut version.
* The 8¾ opening limits what can easily slide into the shredder. Standard size documents and generic junk mail have no problem fitting, making this enough length for the average user. However, it can become a hassle to precisely line up documents in the opening every time, especially if you are shredding many items. MBM Destroyit provides larger shredders with wider openings for higher volume usage.
* A five gallon shred bin will fill up quickly, especially with strip cut shreds. Although it is easy to empty, if you wish to reduce the number of trips to the trash, you should consider a different model with a larger waste container.
Equipped with many automatic features and decent capacity abilities, the 2270 is a great deskside shredder. The quality craftsmanship of this machine is backed by a one year warranty, with a ten year warranty on the cutting shafts and wheels. Environmentally friendly functions help conserve energy. The MBM Destroyit 2270 is an excellent choice for your next personal or small office shredder.
