Hsm Shredstar Cross Cut Multimedia Paper Shredder Review

One of the great things about paper shredders is that they are not limited to only destroying paper

. As you may be aware, personal and sensitive information not only exists in printed documents, it can appear in various types of electronic media such as CD's and DVD's due the rise of the Internet age. Destroying electronic media can be tricky, but if you have the right machine, it is totally possible. That's where the HSM Shredstar comes in. This is a small, tabletop paper shredder that can destroy just about anything you throw at it, including CD's, DVD's, and credit cards. And best of all, this is an incredibly affordable machine, especially when you consider everything it can do. To find out what the HSM Shredstar is capable of, read on.

There are a lot of different sizes of paper shredders and the HSM Shredstar is one of the smaller ones. (It weighs just under 13 pounds.) As mentioned above, this is a tabletop paper shredder, so it is very compact and easy to transport and it is great for home offices as well as the workplace. But just because it's small it doesn't mean it's not powerful. This shredder can shred paper, floppy disks, credit cards, and CD's, so it's really a great solution for people that need a small shredder that can handle several different types of media.

The Shredstar's shredding capacities varies. It can shred one credit card, CD, or disk at a time, but it can shred 8 to 16 sheets of paper in a single pass. This paper shredder has a wastebasket with a one-gallon capacity, which isn't a lot, but for a machine this small, it's workable.

The HSM Shredstar is a cross-cut shredder with a Level Three security rating. The shreds the machine produces measure 1/6" x 1 1/8", so it is a great machine to use if you are concerned about protecting your privacy and not becoming a victim of identity theft. Some of the shredder's special features include an automated start/stop button, a reverse switch (good for clearing paper jams!), and an automatic stop that occurs when the wastebasket is full. And best of all, this machine retails for just under $200.00 so it's a great choice if you need a personal-sized shredder that is packed with features and can handle several different types of media.

That said, the Shredstar does have a few limitations. For one, the wastebasket collects both paper and other waste, which will make recycling difficult, unless you shred paper separately from the other media. Also, while the paper shredding capacity is decent for a shredder of this size, it is disappointing that you can only shred one credit card, CD, or disk at a time. This slows down the shredding process quite a bit, so if you need to destroy a lot of these types of items at once, a shredder such as the HSM 390.3 shredder would be a better choice.

Overall, the HSM Shredstar is a cost-effective shredder that can do a lot, especially when one considers the low price of the machine. If you need an affordable multimedia shredder for personal or business use, you really should give the HSM Shredstar a closer look!
