Review on πŸ”ͺ Efficient HSM Shredstar S25 Strip-Cut Shredder: Shreds 25 Sheets, 6.9-Gallon Capacity, Sleek White Design by Marco Cervantes

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Since the container is filled in 10 minutes, continuous operation is guaranteed. It's also slower than other shredders.

I've researched these things for a long time. I have had and worn 4 different models ranging from $40 to $200. This one was even more expensive, but I was drawn to the promise of 'continuous service'. Most inexpensive models have an electric motor that turns off when empty. -heats. That means you have to wait an hour or more for the grinder to cool down before you can use it again. This grinder does not overheat. In fact, he worked continuously for three hours at exactly the same rate. The bad news is that it's twice as slow as any other shredder. This may be partly because it's also doing crosscuts, but I think just slow down the motor to make it run slower. It didn't impress me. It says it can take 20 pages, but it will choke on 10 pages of cotton paper (laser printer). 10 minutes of grinding. You have to open it up, slide the scraps of paper in and start over. The basket is too small. You fill it up every 15 minutes of work. am a lot. I use plastic garbage bags, but it still takes time. I think the reason is that the cut paper is fluffier than other shredders. It just tends to stand longer. I lubricated the car with oil and pressed. It works but is much slower.

Pros
  • Brilliantly done
Cons
  • So far so good
