By: Mono Machines Security At a level 3 security, this cross-cut shredder gets the job done. Although there are higher levels of security, a level 3 machine provides a sufficiently small cut size to put your identity theft worries to bed. We also like the cross-cut because it takes up much less space which means that you won’t have to empty your bin as frequently as you would with a strip-cut machine. There is really no reason to jump up to a level 4 machine unless you have some ultra-sensitive documents you need destroyed. Shredable Material The Dahle 40614 Professional Cross-Cut Shredder can shred CDs, Credit Cards, DVDs, 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 Dahle 40614 Professional Cross-Cut Shredder sports a hefty 42.3 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 15.75 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 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 40614 Professional Cross-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 With an MSRP of $4,895.00 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.
