After pulling out our microscope and taking a closer look, the HSM ProfiPack 425 Cardboard Shredder has proved to be a worthy machine. It's a fairly versatile machine with a not-too-crazy price tag either (but remember you can often get a better deal if you call or email :-) Overall we'd recommend this machine but I suggest that you take a look at the specs yourself.




Security


This strip-cut shredder is a level 1 security and provides the lowest possible level of security around. Although you will meet the HIPPA requirement for physically "destroying" sensitive data Rene Tosoni World Baseball Classic Jersey , we recommend that you look at some of the cross-cut machines if you are truly concerned about security. Of course, the benefit to having a lower level of security is the speed of the machine and number of sheets per pass that you can do. So if these are more important to you, security level 1 is just fine.


Shredable Material


The HSM ProfiPack 425 Cardboard Shredder can shred Paper. If you need to be able to shred something else then we recommend that you look at a larger machine andor look for something with a little bit lower security (the higher the security the less likelihood that the machine shreds something other than paper).


Continuous Motor


This shredder is not rated for continuous use. That simply means that you will have to shut the machine down after a certain period of time to let it cool off. Now don't let this scare you away because most people will never reach that point unless they just sit down and start shredding and shredding and shredding. If you plan on doing all your shredding at one sitting then it is highly recommended that you get a machine with a continuous duty motor Pete Orr World Baseball Classic Jersey , otherwise you're just fine.


Bin Size


At 0 gallon bin, the HSM ProfiPack 425 Cardboard Shredder is a personaldeskside machine. You won't be able to shred too much before you have to empty it, but presumably you won't be shredding that frequently. If you will Nick Pivetta World Baseball Classic Jersey , we recommend that you jump up to something with a bigger bin size.


Throat Size


A 16.75 inch throat means that you can fit just about anything into this bad boy. Gone are the days of folding your oversized paper or crumpling and jamming your machine with regular-sized paper. This guy gets 2 thumbs up for the often underestimated large throat size.


Auto Oiler


This machine does not come with an auto-oiler and does not have the option to have one installed. Although automatic oilers are not necessary to maintain your machine, they do take the guess-work out of maintenance. Don't hold it against the machine though as you can easily oil the machine yourself on regular intervals.


Warranty


The HSM ProfiPack 425 Cardboard Shredder comes with a 10 years on blades, 1 years parts & labor. This means that you have plenty of time to test out the machine and make sure that everything is running smoothly. Just make sure to properly care for your machine and you shouldn't have any issues.
