Features
A function that automatically starts shredding when paper is inserted and automatically stops when shredding is complete. Even if you are busy, shredding starts and stops automatically, saving time and effort. Convenient for quickly processing documents received by mail or direct mail.
This model does not explicitly state an automatic start/stop function. The user must manually initiate the shredding process. This is a minor inconvenience compared to models with automatic start/stop.
A function that reverses the blades to remove paper jams. Even if paper gets caught during shredding, it can be easily removed without damaging the device. Allows for safe and continuous use.
The reverse rotation function is present, aiding in clearing paper jams by reversing the blades. This prevents damage and ensures continuous operation. It's a simple and effective solution for dealing with paper jams, enhancing user experience.
A function that automatically stops operation when the motor temperature rises excessively. Prevents damage to the shredder due to continuous use and overheating. Enables safe use for extended periods.
The overheat prevention function automatically shuts down the shredder when the motor gets too hot, protecting it from damage and prolonging its lifespan. This prevents potentially dangerous overheating and ensures safe operation over extended periods.
A function that automatically stops operation when the waste box is full. Prevents paper scraps from overflowing and scattering. Reduces the hassle of frequently emptying the waste box.
The LED bin-full indicator suggests an automatic stop function when the waste bin is full, preventing overflow and making waste disposal more manageable. This is a convenient feature that avoids messy situations and ensures efficient operation.
A function that allows shredding of plastic cards such as credit cards. Protects personal information by completely destroying not only paper documents but also credit cards. Useful for disposing of expired cards.
The ability to shred credit cards adds an extra layer of security, ensuring that sensitive plastic cards are completely destroyed and unrecoverable. This is a valuable feature for secure disposal of expired or unwanted credit cards, safeguarding personal data.
A function that locks the shredder to prevent accidental operation. Prevents children or pets from accidentally operating the shredder and causing injury. Provides peace of mind in homes with children or pets.
This model does not include a safety lock function. However, the SafeSense Technology provides a degree of safety by stopping the shredder when hands touch the paper opening. A safety lock function could prevent accidental operation by children or pets.
