although for some it is not important the first impression is very favorable. An engine block, matte finish on top and bright on the edges, removable thanks to its retractable handle, embedded in a basket 18l perforated metal, a larger format than I thought: H 41 x W 38 x D 26cm, equipped with internal handles to move easily. Weight, 6,7kg, reinforces the idea of the seriousness of the product. An opening lets take other objects that do not pass through the machine and provides a patented safety stop when we approach the fingers of the opening. 10 sheets can be destroyed simultaneously and the manual tells us that you can put credit cards, paper clips and staples. Personally I did not try the adventure of these and my CB is new ... A slightly higher price but the design and robustness make may be the right price. A beautiful and useful practical purpose.
