" This is a great shredder. It is sleek in design and quiet while shredding. I can put a stack of papers to be shredded and push the start button and leave. If I only have a few sheets, I can feed them through the top slot without opening the lid. It is very safe and will stop immediately if you raise the lid. I highly recommend! "

Pros: Anti-bourrage, Tri des documents / Réduction des déchets, Machine robuste, Ultra silencieux, Caractéristiques de sécurité, Confidentialité, Garantie, Capacité de passage, Détruit les Cartes de crédit, Agrafes et CD
Cons: bac de réceptacle en carton
" Nous avons déjà détruit quelques milliers de pages et tout s'est bien passé. Il faut noter qu'au bout d'un certain temps un thermomètre rouge s'allume sur le capot, il faut laisser refroidir la machine. Le bruit n'est pas bien important et la cadence régulière, il faut juste bien installer les feuilles dans le bac pour éviter le bourrage (bien qu'on ait une marche arrière utile). Le réceptacle des débris est en carton, ce qui fait vraiment cheap pour un appareil de ce prix. Au total un bon appareil dont je suis très content. "

" Me sorprende negativamente que después de pagar una cantidad considerable por una destructora de documentos, la caja para recoger el papel triturado sea simplemente de cartón. Uno espera un acabado más profesional y duradero por este precio. Parece un detalle menor, pero da la sensación de estar recortando en calidad justo donde no toca "
