MBM Destroyit 2503 Strip Cut Paper Shredder – DSH0300 Review

MBM Destroyit 2503 Strip Cut Paper Shredder DSH0300 Review

For a simple, heavy duty centralized office shredder, the MBM Destroyit 2503 Strip Cut is a great choice. This device is easy to use and will quickly dispose of your documents with its lifetime guaranteed steel blades. Built for high volume use in a medium office, the 2503 will reliably work all day. Here is a closer look.

Strengths:

For starters, the 2503 has a Safety Protection System installed. A clear safety shield allows for the safe disposal of CDs and prevents fingers from entering the blades. The "Easy Switch" controls use of three modes- stand-by, stop, reverse- in a simple single button. Illuminated symbols show the machine's status. An automatic stop function is activated by an open cabinet door, a full shred bag, or a paper jam. If a jam occurs, auto reverse feeds the paper back out to unclog the blades for you. Finally, an Energy Save Mode kicks in after one hour of no use and powers down to a sleep mode to conserve electricity.

Hardened steel blades are driven by a powerful single phase motor. The motor is double protected from overheating, meaning that it prevents itself from being fried and saves you from potential costly repairs. The durable gears are contained in a fully enclosed dustproof casing to avoid corrosion. Both are designed to keep your shredder in top running condition.

An automated photo cell senses paper in the 10 inch feed opening and begins shredding on cue. The high quality blades take up to 21 sheets at once and also eat staples, paperclips, credit cards and even CDs. Items are shredded as fast as 24 feet per minute, so you can shred your stack and quickly be on your way.

Sliced strips are collected in a 26 gallon shred bag that nestles in a pull-out bag frame mounted on rollers for simple removal and replacement. The whole unit is housed in a high quality wooden cabinet situated on casters for easy mobility. The wood acts as a noise reducer by absorbing some of the sound waves produced by the motor, giving you a quieter office.

Weaknesses:

The 3/16 inch strips produced offer a level 2 security. For general internal documents, memos, and other low risk items, level two keeps things safe. However, if you have a plethora of sensitive material to dispose of, you may consider this model in a higher security version.

The 10.25 inch opening limits what can easily slide into the blades. Again, for generic office shredding, this isn't a problem. Offices needing to dispose of many wider or odd shaped documents might prefer a machine with a larger opening.

Taking up to 21 sheets at once as fast as 24 feet per minute, this machine is designed more for continuous use than high capacity. These sizes are appropriate for a medium size office with about 6-10 people and will be an ideal fit for that amount. Larger businesses with higher shredding needs will want to check out MBM's larger models.

MBM Destroyit's 2503 is well-suited to the needs for a low security, medium office shredder. Safety and automatic features make use simple and uncomplicated. A one year warranty offers peace of mind and guarantees reliability. We think the 2503 is an excellent choice for your next office shredder.
