Review on 🔪 Bonsaii C237-B 6-Sheet Cross Cut Paper Shredder for Home and Office Use, with Credit Card Slot, Portable Handle Design, and 3.4 Gallons Wastebasket by Marv Merritt

Initially, the purchase of the Brauberg S6-S paper shredder was very skeptical. Remembering the golden rule of any high-quality thing from the world of electronics, that in principle it should cost at least one hundred US dollars, I protested with all the fibers of my soul against the useless waste of money. But justifying by the fact that any normal office should have such a gadget in service, I decided not to strongly resist their desire. Since all adequate arguments were not accepted and I failed to convince my colleagues, the Brauberg S6-S nevertheless settled with us. This paper shredder is an elementary design consisting of two elements. It is an electric cutting head equipped with a mode control switch and a small shredded paper basket that is flush connected to this head. The basket is actually just tiny. No more than five liters. With the active use of the device, you will often have to throw out the resulting slag from it. The filling will come very quickly. We can say that this shredder with such a capacity was originally designed for non-stop work with only a dozen or two sheets. But thanks to the decision where the cutting head is the main and only mechanical working part of the device, we immediately upgraded the Brauberg S6-S, using the most ordinary closed cardboard box instead of the standard basket, in which a hole was cut from above for installing the head. Thus, we got a not very aesthetic, but extremely practical solution, which allows us to mess with the release of slag much less often than with a regular "urn". In addition to its elementary device, the Brauberg S6-S paper shredder has the same elementary control, expressed in a single switch located on top of the cutting unit. Without any instructions, using the method of scientific poke, it allows you to understand the operation of the hot shredder almost instantly. There is nothing to understand here in general. Brauberg S6-S will master even a schoolboy in a couple of seconds. Two constant cutting modes - straight and reverse, when the cutter blades work constantly. Well, the so-called automatic. For everyday use, it is the latter mode that is most preferable. In it, the paper shredder constantly sleeps, saving energy and turns on by itself only when we insert the sheets into the slot of the cutting head. As in other modes of operation, with a wild vile noise, he cuts everything that we give him to eat with one caveat that everything sacrificed to him will be exclusively paper and no other. The fact that, according to the manufacturer, the Brauberg S6-S paper shredder cuts credit cards or cardboard boxes without any problems is nothing more than wishful thinking or simply a myth. You can call the mechanical weakness of the Brauberg S6-S the main fat minus, putting its purchase in great doubt. As well as the level of paper shredding, expressed in the resulting strips of 8 mm in width. This scale of slicing refers to the initial one and it’s hard to call a small output. Putting it together after the efforts of such a shredder, any dilettante with perseverance will be able to restore the chronology of all the documents from your basket in a relatively short period of time. Even if in principle you have nothing to hide and the disposal of sheets of paper is purely economic in nature, associated more with the rational saving of space in the trash can than maintaining some kind of secrecy, the work will be complicated by the rigidity limit of the material fed to the knives, limited to six sheets. Therefore, in reality, in a real work environment, our choice will often set healthy prerequisites for working with our hands instead of the shredder every time. With such a small amount of paper shredding possible, the Brauberg S6-S will create the inconvenience of having to pre-count shredded sheets every time. Or "feeding" it one leaf at a time, which makes such communication with the shredder absolutely inappropriate. Because neglecting the stated limit on the amount and, accordingly, the density of the material supplied for cutting, we risk destroying the Brauberg S6-S paper shredder once and for all. As it is, in general, it happened with us. It is ridiculous to say that ours expired from eight sheets of paper, A4 format. That is, we immediately killed him on the spot, only slightly exceeding the quantitative maximum value. After a detailed disassembly and analysis of the shredder cutter mechanism, such an outcome can be called, if not obvious, then quite expected. And the subsequent attitude to the shredder, as to a product from the world of children's toys. In addition to making the gears of the cutting mechanism from plastic, which a priori is not a sign of long-term trouble-free operation, the paper shredder has an electric motor with a very modest torque. Such a weak plastic tandem allows us to predict the determining valid opinion for the final conclusions regarding the suitability of cutting cardboard and similar hard materials in principle.
