By: Mono Machines 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 Dahle 40104 Professional Strip-Cut Shredder 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 At $Gallon_capacity gallons, the Dahle 40104 Professional Strip-Cut Shredder is a personal/deskside machine. You won’t be able to shred too much before you have to empty it, but presumably you won’t be shredding that frequently. If you will, we recommend that you jump up to something with a bigger bin size. Throat Size With a 8.75 inch throat this shredder gets the job done but doesn’t leave much room for error. Your paper will fit in just fine but you’ll just need to make sure that it doesn’t bunch up and cause problems. If you have odd sized paper, you may want to think about getting something with a larger throat. Warranty The Dahle 40104 Professional Strip-Cut Shredder comes with a 2 Year Limited Warranty on Shredder / 35 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 $895.00 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.
