Intimus 502CC 5/32" x 1-13/32" Cross Cut Shredder Review

The brand name Intimus has become synonymous with quality office shredders. Their 502CC Cross Cut Shredder is a high capacity device with a sleek contemporary design. It is outfitted with a heavy duty continuous run motor and is capable of swiftly destroying large stacks of documents. This machine is also very easy to use, thanks to the many automatic features. Here is a closer look at the pros and cons of owning a 502CC Cross Cut shredder.

Strengths:

Anyone can operate this shredder regardless of their experience. An automatic start feature turns on the blades as paper is inserted into the feed opening. When you've finished shredding, the same mechanism stops the blades. Energy isn't wasted to power unused cutting cylinders. Does something seem to be wrong with your shredder? A single look at the LED display will let you know if the shred bag is full, the cabinet door is open, or if there is a paper jam. You can quickly diagnose and resolve any issues instead of wasting time searching for the problem.

A powerful motor drives the robust blades. The motor offers two great features: continuous run and "whisper quiet" operation. The first allows you to shred large stacks of documents without waiting while your shredder cools down, as is needed by many smaller devices. The second, quiet operation, is highly appreciated, especially in offices where silence is golden. No more annoying whine while you shred.

The front loading paper entry only adds to the convenience of this machine, allowing it to be potentially stored under a low shelf or maybe even a table. A wide 10.25 inch feed accepts stapled and paperclipped items up to 20 sheets thick, excellent for a cross cutting device. Those documents are destroyed as fast as 30 feet per minute. Confidential data is swiftly converted to small confetti pieces measuring only 5/32 inch by 1-13/32 inch in size. This provides a level 3 security and keeps personal and business information safe.

Minute pieces float down into a sizable shred bag offering 3 cubic feet of storage space. This is a manageable size to dispose of while still holding a reasonable amount of shreds.

Weaknesses:

This shredder weighs about 90 pounds when empty. This is a pretty hefty device to try to move and unfortunately doesn't come equipped with casters. Our recommendation is to use a dolly if you need to move it around your office.

The remnants created only provide a level 3 security rating. For all-purpose office shredding, this is more than enough. But businesses with highly classified material to dispose of might prefer this model in a higher security version or one of Intimus' high security devices.

As attested to by the many strengths of this device, the 502CC is more than able to handle the high volume needs of any office. Designed to withstand heavy use in a busy office, the 502CC offers an efficient and secure way to dispose of any confidential material. The Intimus 502CC would make an excellent addition to any office.
