How Well Does the Swingline CM11-44 JamStopper Micro-Cut Shredder Stack up Against the Competition?

Reviewing the Swingline CM11-44 JamStopper Micro-Cut Shredder
By: Mono Machines
 
Jan. 27, 2012 - PRLog -- We recently took a look at the Swingline CM11-44 JamStopper Micro-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/swingline-cm11-44-jamstopper-micro-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 Swingline CM11-44 JamStopper Micro-Cut Shredder can shred CDs, 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 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 Swingline CM11-44 JamStopper Micro-Cut Shredder sports a hefty 44 gallon bin. We know that you’re not messing around when you get up in this size. You’ll be able to go quite some time before you have to actually empty that thing out. Fill up your machine, skip the gym and just carry the full bag around the office all day!

Throat Size
A 16 inch throat means that you can fit just about anything into this bad boy. Gone are the days of folding your oversized paper or crumpling and jamming your machine with regular-sized paper. This guy gets 2 thumbs up for the often underestimated large throat size.

Auto Oiler
This machine does not come with an auto-oiler and does not have the option to have one installed. Although automatic oilers are not necessary to maintain your machine, they do take the guess-work out of maintenance. Don’t hold it against the machine though as you can easily oil the machine yourself on regular intervals.

Warranty
The Swingline CM11-44 JamStopper Micro-Cut Shredder comes with a 1 year machine and cutters, 1 year on-site service included. 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 $3,999.99 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.

About the Manufacturer
The Swingline name means products you can trust. For over 80 years we've helped you successfully achieve your workplace goals and move on to other projects. From staplers to trimmers and punches; from sharpeners to shredders including the revolutionary Stack-and-Shred; you can depend on Swingline to help you get the job done.

Swingline is a division of the ACCO Brands Corporation.
