A Shredding Review of the Kobra U-Shred Pay As You Go Shredder

July 22, 2011 - PRLog -- After looking over the Kobra U-Shred Pay As You Go 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. http://www.monomachines.com/shop/kobra-u-shred-pay-as-you-go-shredder.html

Security
At a level 3 security, this cross-cut shredder gets the job done. Although there are higher levels of security, a level 3 machine provides a sufficiently small cut size to put your identity theft worries to bed. We also like the cross-cut because it takes up much less space which means that you won’t have to empty your bin as frequently as you would with a strip-cut machine. There is really no reason to jump up to a level 4 machine unless you have some ultra-sensitive documents you need destroyed.

Shredable Material
The Kobra U-Shred Pay As You Go Shredder can shred CDs, Credit Cards, DVDs, Paper. 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 have 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 53 the Kobra U-Shred Pay As You Go 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!

Price
The MSRP is $5,200.00 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.

This new concept in shredding will provide a commercial opportunity as well as a great service for existing customers.

So as I mentioned before, we think that the Kobra U-Shred Pay As You Go Shredder is a worthy competitor and deserves a second look.

I also wanted to remind you that real-world conditions do not always produce the same results that you might expect from the listed specs. Happy Shredding!
