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.
The product description does not mention an automatic start/stop function. Therefore, the user needs to manually start and stop the machine, which may reduce convenience during operation. The absence of this feature means the shredder won't automatically begin shredding when cardboard is inserted, requiring more active user involvement.
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 machine includes a reverse rotation function, which is activated via a rotary switch. This function helps to clear jams by reversing the direction of the cutting gears. This is essential for maintaining smooth operation and preventing damage to the machine. The reverse function is easily accessible via the rotary switch, enhancing user convenience.
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 product description does not mention an overheat prevention function. This means there is a risk of the motor overheating during prolonged use, potentially leading to damage. Users should monitor the machine's temperature and allow for cool-down periods to prevent overheating. The absence of this feature reduces the machine's reliability for continuous operation.
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 product description does not mention an automatic stop function when the waste box is full. This means the user needs to manually monitor the fill level of the waste box to prevent overflow. Regular checks are necessary to avoid paper scraps from scattering. The absence of this feature increases the need for manual monitoring and maintenance.
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.
This shredder is specifically designed for cardboard and does not support credit card shredding. Attempting to shred credit cards could damage the machine. This limitation means users need a separate shredder for disposing of plastic cards. The machine's focus is solely on cardboard recycling, limiting its versatility.
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.
The product description does not mention a safety lock function. This means there is no mechanism to prevent accidental operation, which could be a concern in environments with children or pets. Users should take extra precautions to ensure the machine is not operated unintentionally. The absence of this feature reduces the overall safety of the device.
SHOPSTAFF Rating Score
This cardboard shredder is designed for recycling cardboard into packaging filler. It's suitable for businesses looking to reduce waste and save on packaging costs.
