Dahle 41222 CleanTEC Cross-Cut Shredder - Our in-depth Review

May 26, 2011 - PRLog -- We recently took a look at the Dahle 41222 CleanTEC Cross-Cut Shredder. Overall the machine is quite nice but I’ll let you be the judge after you see the pros and cons below. Always remember that the stated specs of a machine do not always translate precisely to a real-world environment. http://www.monomachines.com/shop/dahle-41222-cleantec-cross-cut-shredder.html

Security
This shredder sports a level 4 security which means that no one is going to be able to read your documents. A level 3 in generally sufficient for most environments but the level 4 provides that extra level of security. An added bonus with this machine is that because the shreds are smaller, they take up less space so you’ll be able to shred more paper before you have to dump out the bin. This will save you time and money (when it comes to bags).

Shredable Material
The Dahle 41222 CleanTEC Cross-Cut Shredder can shred paper clips and 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).

Bin Size
With a 10.6 gallon bin, the Dahle 41222 CleanTEC Cross-Cut Shredder can hold a bit more shred than the smallest machines out there, but you’ll still be finding yourself emptying the bin fairly frequently. It is great if you need something to fit in a smaller space, but if you shred frequently we recommend jumping up in bin size.

Throat Size
The 9.45 inch throat on this machine gives you a little bit of breathing room when you’re shredding regular size paper and the option to shred a few odd shaped things. If you really have large paper, then you’ll need to look at machine with something larger than a 10” throat.

Warranty
The Dahle 41222 CleanTEC Cross-Cut Shredder comes with a 2 Year Limited Warranty on Shredder / 35 Years on Cutting Heads. 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
With an MSRP of $9,999.00 this shredder is not the cheapest around but remember to NEVER pay the full amount. You can find discounts of up to 50% off if you look around on the web.
