Perfect, even for an individual

When I was in the professional world, I had at my disposal super powerful machines that allowed me a few minutes to destroy a record 200 bound pages. The machine was accepting packets of twenty leaves and destroy them with ease.
When I wanted to bring me to this kind of machine, I made the sad experience myself in reasoning about its use and particularly its cost, choosing models I quickly revendais. What was most annoying was the jam - and not necessarily with a lot of leaves - but the effect of knives, was curl the leaves and put them through and neither advance nor back really allowed to properly complete its work.

We must realize, put the price provides an apparatus that works well ... analyze the points that make this device a good investment.

1 - Mounting: 10/10
Installation is extremely simple, you just need to set up 4 wheels that allow to move this equipment is cumbersome.
The engine is powerful, necessarily dosh ...
2 - dimensions: 10/10
Dimensions: 500 x 390 x 275 mm ... which fits easily under a desk.
3 - Aesthetics: 9/10
Black, this destructive harmoniously with the computing environment in which I installed.
Its shell is made of ABS, so solid.
On the top, drawings symbolize the machine stops (bin full, door open, engine heat, etc.) and they are easy to understand
Below, a first vent receiving the CD / DVD to destroy
and below, a second vent which receives the paper with or without clamps (because this machine destroys staples).
Below again, all precautions (do not put your hand in knives, even if a security exists etc.)
On the side a potentiometer to know what effort the machine according to the number of copies to be destroyed.
The indication of the number of sheets to introduce Max is on the opposite side.
A small cruet indicates to "lubricate" the knives (and this after each dump the trash).
4 - cutting capacity and result of the cut 10/10
First, it should be noted that the machine does not floss, it can in any case stop to remove the paper or raise the cut.
Nothing to do with my first experience where I was obliged to tear the paper is that the engine can raise. Imagine then the pieces of paper hanging off the machine after the operation. Here, none of that.
5 - Sound: 8/10
Silent machine operation.
6 - Use 9/10
Regardless, we feel professional tool. Over 3 meters paper destruction over a period of one minute, it will relatively quickly.
The basket of detectors are sensitive, it may reach into the basket to push deep cuts if not to believe that we should empty the trash at all times.
The cut is crossed, so it is impossible to reconstruct the document.
The maximum recommended operating time is 12 minutes after which it must let the engine cool, but I admit that I have not been before.
Paper entry width: 230 mm or A4 size in portrait mode.
It destroys: Staples, Credit Cards, Paper Clips, CDs / DVDs, but if the DVDs are made of a material that is easily cut, I try to avoid large paper clips and other fasteners that may damage the knives.
Nothing is said about the average length of life of the knives.
7 price: 6/10
At nearly 300 euros, this is an expensive material for a particular use but worthy of a professional machine puts his money in a quality / price Hon.

Conclusion: 8.8 giving 5 stars and a very favorable opinion.
