By: Mono Machines Security NSA Approved, this shredder sports level 6 security which shreds your paper into sand-like particles. You only need this level of security if you are working in or with the government. The downside to level 6 machines is that you can generally only do a few sheets per pass and the cutting heads are more prone to damage from staples or paper clips so you should always remove them to prolong the life of your machine. If you don’t need this level of security we recommend you jusm to a level 3 or 4. Shredable Material The Dahle 40434 Professional High Security Shredder - Level 6 can shred Credit Cards, Paper, 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). 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 The Dahle 40434 Professional High Security Shredder - Level 6 has a 26.4 gallon bin. We’re happy with this size because it will give you a bit more time between emptying your bin. Although the size may make it difficult to fit this shredder in a tight space, it’s always worth it in the long run to get a bigger bin size and move your office around a bit. Throat Size We love the 10.24 inch throat on this shredder because you can put in odd sized paper and it leaves plenty of breathing room when it comes to regular sized paper. Some of the smaller machines will crumple the paper and eventually jam because the throat opening is just not large enough. 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 Dahle 40434 Professional High Security Shredder - Level 6 comes with a 2 Year Limited Warranty on Shredder / 5 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 The MSRP is $4,695.00 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.
