Intimus 402CC 1/16” x 9/16” Cross Cut Whisper Quiet Shredder Review

The highest security device in Intimus' 402
line of shredders is the 402CC Cross Cut. Like all Intimus shredders,
this one offers automatic features for simple operation and a powerful
motor. Strong blades swiftly digest all your sensitive material,
keeping you and your identity safe. Here is a more detailed look at
the 402CC shredder.

Strengths:

• Automatic features make this shredder simple to use
  no matter how inexperienced you may be. An automated start causes
  the blades to begin shredding when you insert papers into the
  feed. After you've finished using the machine, it turns itself off
  to save energy by not needlessly running an unused motor. An LED
  panel lets you know if a paper jam occurs, if the shred bag is
  full, or if the cabinet door is open. This saves you time from
  trying to figure out why your shredder isn't working and allows you
  to quickly resolve the issue and go about your day.
• The
  powerful motor is rated for continuous run and is maintenance
  free. Instead of needing a cool down time after a short period of
  heavy use like many smaller shredders, this one can shred
  endlessly without needing a cooling period. The engine is also designed
  for "whisper quiet" operation, giving you a quieter working
  environment as opposed to having to hear the annoying whine that often
  accompanies shredders.
• A front loading feed
  opening offers convenience and allows the machine to be stored
  under a low surface if needed. The 9.5 inch opening takes in
  stapled and paperclipped documents as thick as 10 sheets at once.
  They are destroyed as fast as 20 feet per minute. This lets you
  spend less time shredding and more time on other more important
  tasks.
• The cross cutting mechanism converts full sized
  documents into tiny pieces, only 1/16 inch by 9/16 inch in size.
  These miniscule particles offer a level 4 security rating. Any
  personal or business information will stay confidential in these
  tiny remnants.
• The confetti particles float into a
  ample shred bag offering 1.5 cubic feet of storage space.

Weaknesses

• A 9.5 inch throat width can be limiting.
  Most small to medium offices won't find this to be a problem. But if
  your business needs to shred a plethora of wider documents, you
  might be more interested in a larger model with a longer paper
  entry.
• This machine only takes up to 10 sheets at one
  time. For a smaller office with moderate shredding needs, this
  won't be an issue. But larger offices with higher shredding needs
  will want a device with a higher capacity.

Overall,
the Intimus 402CC will effortlessly accommodate the moderate shredding
needs of any office. Automatic features make it simple and
uncomplicated to use. Strong blades driven by a quiet and powerful
motor quickly tear apart any document, keeping confidential information
secure. The Intimus 402CC Cross Cut is an excellent choice for your
next office shredder.
