GBC has a truly impressive lineup of paper shredders. Whether you need a small deskside device for use at home or a high security machine for the destruction of confidential documents, GBC has the right product for you. One of their best high security shredders is the GDHS7, a device that has a lot of special features in addition to being one of the best shredders you ll ever use. Here s the lowdown of the GDHS7 s strengths, as well as a look at its very few shortcomings.
Strengths:
* As mentioned already, the GDHS7 is a high security device. It is a micro cut shredder that has a Level 5 security rating. This makes it absolutely perfect for the destruction of your most private documents. The shredded bits will measure 1/32 x 7/16 which is extremely tiny.
* This machine also has a respectable shredding capacity. It can shred up to 7 sheets at once.
* The shredder s feed opening is almost 10 inches wide so you can shred both letter and legal sized paper. Staples, paper clips, and credit cards can also be destroyed by this device.
* Not too many high security shredders have anti jam technology, but the GDHS7 certainly does. There s an indicator that will turn bright red if you try to stuff too mach paper into the machine.
* This device has an automatic shut off feature that will help you conserve power and protect the machine s motor. The GDHS7 also operates quietly so you won t be adding more noise to your already busy office.
* The machine has a waste bin that s located in a pull out drawer. The bin can hold up to 13 gallons of waste.
* Moving this device around will be a snap even though weighs almost 80 pounds. This is because it s equipped with casters.
* GBC offers a two year warranty on this product and they ll even send someone out for on site service if you run into problems. The cutting head has a year s worth of protection.
Weaknesses:
* The GDHS7 can shred continuously for up to 15 minutes. However, it will then need to cool off for about 20 minutes before you can use it again. This might cut down on your productivity a bit.
* Unfortunately, this product wouldn t be a good choice if you need a shredder you can store under a desk because it s over two feet tall. However, this machine would be a great addition to a common area where multiple employees can use it.
* Finally, the shredding capacity isn t as high as that of a strip cut shredder so it s not ideal for high volume document destruction. When it comes to shredders, the higher the security rating the lower the capacity. If you don t need the higher security rating, you can save yourself some money and get higher capacity with other shredders in the GBC Shredmaster line of shredders.
While the GBC GDHS7 has a few shortcomings, it s really quite a great machine. Not only does it offer a lot of security, it won t jam up on you, it can destroy credit cards and it will shut off automatically. Therefore, this device would be perfect for offices that need a micro cut shredder with an abundance of special features.
