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 manual shredder does not have an automatic start/stop function. The user must manually operate the shredder to shred documents. This requires continuous physical effort and attention. The shredding process is entirely dependent on the user's input.
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.
This shredder does not have a reverse rotation function. Paper jams must be cleared manually, which can be difficult and time-consuming. Users must carefully avoid overloading the shredder to prevent jams. Clearing jams may require disassembly.
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.
As a manual shredder, there is no motor and therefore no risk of overheating. This function is not applicable. The shredder can be used continuously without any concern for overheating. This is a key advantage of its manual design.
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.
This shredder does not have an automatic stop function when the waste box is full. Users must manually monitor the waste level and empty the bin as needed. Failure to do so can lead to overflow and mess. Regular monitoring is required.
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.
While some users claim this shredder can shred credit cards, its small size and manual operation make it difficult and potentially damaging to the device. It is not recommended for regular credit card shredding. Using scissors may be a better alternative for credit card disposal.
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 shredder does not have a safety lock function. However, its manual operation means it poses minimal risk of accidental use by children or pets. The absence of a motor reduces the potential for injury. Still, caution should be exercised when storing the shredder.
