Mbm Destroyit 2360 Deskside Paper Shredder Review
Destroyit is one of the more respected names in the world of paper shredders
. This review will take a look at one of their desk-side paper shredders. Here are some of the strengths and weaknesses of the Destroy-It 2360 Deskside Paper Shredder.
Strengths:
1.) Safety is something that you should always consider when you are buying a shredder, and we are rather impressed with Destroyit's approach. With what they call their "SPS," or Safety Protection System, they include a transparent safety shield that is electronically controlled and sits in the feed opening to keep hands and fingers safely away from the shredding mechanism. Also, it is always easy to tell what the operational status of the shredder is, with the nicely back-lit symbols and color codes. In the case of a paper jam, the 2360 goes into reverse automatically, and the power cuts off. There are also power cuts when the shred bag is full, or if the cabinet door is opened. Overall, we found this to be a very nice set of safety features.
2.) We like how easy it was to start the shredding process with the 2360. There is a photocell at the opening that detects the sheets you are trying to shred, and automatically starts the machine. This is a pretty handy function, eliminating the need to turn the machine on and off when you want to use it.
3.) The cross cut 2360 we tested easily shredded paper clips, staples, and credit cards.
4.) The 2360 comes with three different cutting styles: strip cut, cross cut, and micro shred (or "super micro cut"). The Super micro cut version is an excellent choice for your most highly confidential documents, as it meets the specifications of the National Security Administration, and is approved for use by the Department of Defense. It doesn't get any more secure than that.
5.) We found the 2360 to be remarkably quiet in operation, which we could see as a big plus when working in a crowded office.
6.) The 2360, like all of the Destroyit shredders, is a sleek and attractive, modern looking machine. The cabinet is of wood construction, painted white and nicely appointed. The casters that are attached make it easy to transport around the office as well.
Weaknesses:
1.) It seems that an increasing number of the shredders available these days are able to accept CD's, but the 2360 (in any of the cutting styles available) does not. For that, you might want to check out Destroyit's next model up, the 2403.
2.) Though it comes with what Destroyit terms as "double overheating protection," you will undoubtedly have to pay some attention to how many minutes at a time you use the 2360 before giving it a cool-down period. Though we want to make it clear that we had no troubles at all in our testing, newly every shredder on the market has its limits, and you will have to learn the 2360's.
Recommendation:
Overall, we found the Destroyit 2360 to be a very impressive and attractive deskside shredder, and one you should definitely consider if you are in the market.
