A Shredding Review of the DestroyIt 2603 Super Micro Cut Shredder   by Mono Machines

The DestroyIt 2603 Super Micro Cut Shredder appears to be a solid machine with very competitive specs relative to the competition. Used properly Iâ??m not sure why you wouldnâ??t have this machine for quite some time. Below we break down the individual specs.

Security

NSA Approved, this shredder sports level 6 security which shreds your paper into sand-like particles. You only need this level of security if you are working in or with the government. The downside to level 6 machines is that you can generally only do a few sheets per pass and the cutting heads are more prone to damage from staples or paper clips so you should always remove them to prolong the life of your machine. If you donâ??t need this level of security we recommend you jusm to a level 3 or 4.

Shredable Material

The DestroyIt 2603 Super Micro Cut Shredder can shred Paper. If you need to be able to shred something else then we recommend that you look at a larger machine and/or look for something with a little bit lower security (the higher the security the less likelihood that the machine shreds something other than paper).

Continuous Motor

This shredder is rated for continuous operation. That means that theoretically you could shred all day long and the machine would not have to shut-down to cool off. Remember that results may vary under real-world operating conditions and things such as the temperature of the room will affect the ability of this motor to stay cool and continue to shred. We give this machine 2 pats on the back for being rated continuous duty and we know that youâ??ll appreciate this feature in due time.

Bin Size

The DestroyIt 2603 Super Micro Cut Shredder has a 30 gallon bin. Weâ??re happy with this size because it will give you a bit more time between emptying your bin. Although the size may make it difficult to fit this shredder in a tight space, itâ??s always worth it in the long run to get a bigger bin size and move your office around a bit.

Throat Size

We love the 10.25 inch throat on this shredder because you can put in odd sized paper and it leaves plenty of breathing room when it comes to regular sized paper. Some of the smaller machines will crumple the paper and eventually jam because the throat opening is just not large enough.

Auto Oiler

With an Optional Auto-Oiler available on this machine we highly recommend that you get it pre-installed. The machine is pre-wired to accept an oiler so all the manufacturer has to do is hook it up properly and youâ??ll never have to worry about messy oil again. Automatically oiling your machine takes the guess-work out of maintenance and will most likely increase the life of your machine.

Warranty

The DestroyIt 2603 Super Micro Cut Shredder comes with a 1 year limited warranty on super micro-cut cutting shafts and wheels. This means that you have plenty of time to test out the machine and make sure that everything is running smoothly. Just make sure to properly care for your machine and you shouldnâ??t have any issues.

Price

With an MSRP of $4,899.00 this shredder is not the cheapest around but remember to NEVER pay the full amount. You can find discounts of up to 50% off if you look around on the web.

Manufacturer Jargon

“SPS” (Safety Protection System) package: electronically controlled, transparent safety shield in the feed opening; “Easy Switch” control element uses color codes and back-lit symbols to indicate operational status; automatic stop when shred bag is full or when cabinet door is opened; automatic reverse and stop in case of paper jam; double protection against overheating.

So as I mentioned before, we think that the DestroyIt 2603 Super Micro Cut Shredder is a worthy competitor and deserves a second look.

I also wanted to remind you that real-world conditions do not always produce the same results that you might expect from the listed specs. Happy Shredding!
