Our Review
Cross-cut provides Level 3 security—shreds into tiny 5x18mm particles (safer than strip-cut). Shreds 12 sheets at once including staples and credit cards. Auto start/stop with pull-out bin—sensors detect paper insertion. Quiet operation (60 dB) won't disturb calls. 5-gallon bin holds 200+ sheets before emptying. Thermal overload protection prevents overheating during heavy use. Shreds continuously for 5 minutes before needing cooldown. Compact footprint fits under desks. Window shows fill level. Perfect for home offices handling sensitive documents.
