A Shredding Review of the Swingline CS30-36 JamStopper Strip-Cut Shredder

Jan. 27, 2012 - PRLog -- After looking over the Swingline CS30-36 JamStopper Strip-Cut 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/swingline-cs30-36-jamstopper-strip-cut-shredder.html

Security
This is the second lowest level of security available rated at a 2. This strip-cut shredder is a tad better than a level 1 machine but not a whole lot. If you are really concerned about the information on your documents then we highly recommend that you start looking at some of the cross-cut machines. The one benefit of the strip-cut machine is that you can shred faster and more pages per pass. Just make sure that you are choosing the right security level for your needs.

Shredable Material
The Swingline CS30-36 JamStopper Strip-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 CS30-36 JamStopper Strip-Cut Shredder sports a hefty 36 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
We love the 12 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 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 CS30-36 JamStopper Strip-Cut Shredder comes with a 2 Years on Machine, Lifetime on Cutters, 2 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
The MSRP is $3,299.00 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.
