We recently had a look at the HSM Securio C18s 1/4 “Strip-Cut Shredder – 20 Sheets”. Overall the machine is quite good, but after seeing the pros and cons below, I will let you become a judge. Always remember that the perceived specs of a machine do not always translate accurately to real-world environments.
Security
This is the second-lowest level of protection available at 2… This strip-cut shredder is better than, but not entirely, a level 1 machine. If you are really concerned about the information on your documents, we highly recommend that you start looking at some cross-cut machines. An advantage of the strip-cut machine is that you can move more pages per pass faster. Just make sure that you are choosing the right security level for your needs.
Acclaimed material
HSM Securio C18s can cut 1/4 “strip-cut shredders – 20 sheets of paper, paper clips, staples, credit cards. If you need to be able to remove anything else, we recommend that you use a larger machine. And / or look at. Look for something with slightly less protection (high security is less likely that the machine shears something other than paper).
Bin size
At 6.6 gallons, the HSM Securio C18s 1/4 “strip-cut shredder – 20 sheets is a personal / discoidal machine. You won’t be able to shake too much before you empty it, but guess you won’t. It’s like that. Often when done. If you will, we recommend that you jump in to do something with a larger bin size.
Neck shape
The 9.45-inch throat on this machine gives you a little time to breathe when you have the option of peeling off regular-sized paper and some odd-sized things. If you have a really big paper, you have to look at the machine with a larger than 10 “throat”.
Guarantee
The HSM Securio C18s 1/4 “Strip-Cut Shredder – Comes with 2 Years on Machine / Lifetime Warranty on 20 Sheets Cutting Heads. This means you have plenty of time to test the machine and ensure that all Something is running smoothly. Just make sure to take care of your machine properly and you should have no problems.
Price
With an MSRP of $ 799.00 this shredder is not the cheapest, but remember not to pay the full amount. If you look on the web, you can get up to 50% off.
