About Dahle ShredMATIC SM 150 Auto-Feed Paper Shredder
Overall Feedback:
73% positive
90% appreciated the security level
The shredder is rated P-4, so P-5 level shredding is unnecessary unless you work for the CIA.
85% found it portable
This shredder is lightning fast and corrects for a design flaw typical of other top load shredders.
88% were satisfied with the bin capacity, however, 12% weren't
The holding bin cannot accommodate 8 1/2 x 11 paper, requiring larger jobs to be torn in half to fit.
89% highlighted the jam prevention
To prevent jams while shredding mail, I suggest introducing vertical creases in the stack of 'pre folded' papers by giving them a good perpendicular 'wring'.
92% appreciated the shredding speed
Shredding 3000 pages took me approximately 15 minutes of my own time. I could load and walk away, making it a convenient shredder.
When I shred for a couple of hours straight, the shredder runs cool.
91% liked the shredding capacity however, 9% didn't
I have shredded a set of 3,000 pages and then a set of 2,000 pages, which shows that the shredder has a good shredding capacity.
This shredder handles stapled documents much better, but I must sort the documents so the staples are at the top of the page for the machine to work without jamming.
The shredder is supposed to shred 10 sheets at a time, but in reality, it shreds only 4 or 5.
