Details
- Cross-cut shredder with 7-gallon pullout bin
- 24-sheet capacity (no need to remove staples)
- Destroys credit cards, CDs, and DVDs (one at a time)

Destroys CDs and DVDs
Inserted one at a time into the designated area, CDs, DVDs, and Blu Rays are cut into pieces rendering them useless and credit cards are micro-cut into tiny pieces for complete peace of mind.
Easy Operation
In auto mode, shredding begins once the sensor detects something to be shredded, and auto reverse helps avoid paper jams.
The cross-cut shredder will run continuously for up to 25 minutes before needing a 60-minute cool-down. If it shreds continuously beyond the max running time and begins to overheat, the unit will automatically shut off to protect the motor.
The shredder’s large-capacity pullout bin holds up to 7 gallons or about 270 sheets of paper, which means more time shredding and less time emptying. LED indicators offer at-a-glance convenience for Standby, Overheat, Overload, and Door open, while smooth-rolling wheels help ensure effortless placement.
