Great shredder! about office electronics

I had several different paper shredders and used them extensively to shred a lot of documents and tax returns from relatives when they moved out or passed away (50 years of paperwork for two relatives - so dozens are worth it cupboard panels). No lubrication is required, and the neck design makes it easier to feed paper because it is narrowed - a kind of funnel. I also noticed that the opening is wider than some other Fellows & Staples. So if yours is wider than regular paper or the stack isn't aligned, you can still feed it without organizing it. I don't want to waste time organizing what I'm trying to destroy. After all, it is very fast and relatively quiet in operation. Some shredders seem to struggle, it just happily and quickly shreds whatever you need. I have a Fellows Powershredd that works fine sometimes and sometimes won't boot up or overheat. Also, it seems like it needs to be oiled very regularly, which then wets the entire cut. (For all the shredding, I recycle it and the oil is no good in the bin.) The Staples shredder is very good, but its neck is very specific to how you load the paper, so I spend more time feeding it than I do would think it should. . It has security level P5 or higher and works without problems. I regularly lubricate the paper clips with greaseproof paper and they have never seized. I have had no problems with the Dahle Shredder and have found it exceptionally easy and quick to use. Overall very impressed!

Pros
  • Great for me
