Follow on Google News |  Will it Shred? Reviewing the Dahle 40330 Professional High Security Shredder - Level 5Reviewing the Dahle 40330 Professional High Security Shredder - Level 5
By: Mono Machines Security This level 5 shredder is nearly unmatched when it comes to shred size. Level 5 was previously the highest shred level until the NSA adopted the new spec for high-security shredding at a level 6. This machine will absolutely shred your sensitive documents to an unrecognizable state. If you are buying this machine you are most likely involved with the government or government contracting. If you are not, we recommend that you save a little bit of money by looking at a level 3 or 4 machine. Shredable Material The Dahle 40330 Professional High Security Shredder - Level 5 can shred Credit Cards, Paper, Paper Clips, 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 not rated for continuous use. That simply means that you will have to shut the machine down after a certain period of time to let it cool off. Now don’t let this scare you away because most people will never reach that point unless they just sit down and start shredding and shredding and shredding. If you plan on doing all your shredding at one sitting then it is highly recommended that you get a machine with a continuous duty motor, otherwise you’re just fine. Bin Size With a 15.9 gallon bin, the Dahle 40330 Professional High Security Shredder - Level 5 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. 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 40330 Professional High Security Shredder - Level 5 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 With an MSRP of $2,495.00 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.
