subject: Comet C-120 12 Sheet Cross Cut Paper Shredder Review- Is It As Good As It Sounds? [print this page] The Comet C-120 12 Sheet Cross Cut Paper Shredder is an excellent shredder for home use, or for use in a small office. With a 12 sheet opening, it is on the larger side of the home paper shredders and ranks highly among competitors. The Comet C-120 comes with some flaws, as do most shredders, but the positive features outweigh the negative ones.
Pros: Like it was stated before, the Comet C-120 is a 12 sheet paper shredder. This means you can insert 12 sheets of paper at once, decreasing your workload. Other comparable 12 sheet paper shredders include the Royal 12 Sheet Cross Cut Shredder and the Aurora C1210 12-Sheet Professional Crosscut Paper Shredder. So what makes the Comet C-120 better than the others? Well for starters, the sleek black appearance is great for camouflaging the machine. The last thing you want is an ugly piece of equipment in your beautifully decorated office. The Comet C-120 is also better technically. The paper shredder has a high-quality, powerful motor that is super quiet. There will be no disruptions with this machine. Other shredders have quiet motors, like the Aurora C1210, but the motor lacks the power. Unlike the medium duty blades on the Royal 12 Sheet Cross Cut Shredder, the Comet C-120 has blades that are made from high-quality, durable steels blades. They can cut through not only your important documents, but credit card, CD/DVDs, staples and paper clips. The Comet C-120 has a five gallon waste basket to reduce the frequency of emptying. It also comes equipped with caster wheels for easy mobility.
Cons: One of the negative features of the Comet C-120 is the weight. It weighs in at right around 20 lbs. Not exactly a compact shredder. However, the weight of its competitors are only about one to two pounds less. Another negative feature is the size of the cross cuts. They will only be less than inch wide, but at almost 2 inches long, not as small as other cross-cut shredders.
Seeing as there are only a few cons, that tend to be similar to other 12 sheet paper shredders, the Comet C-120 is an excellent machine. Whether you are looking for a paper shredder for your home use, or you have a small office that could benefit from a shredder, the Comet C-120 is an excellent choice. So if you are looking for protection and privacy, grab a Comet C-120 shredder today.
