Intimus 602CC 1/16” x 5/8” Cross Cut Shredder Review

Department shredders are becoming standard in
many offices today. The Intimus 602CC is designed to reside in a
central area and be shared by multiple users. The powerful motor and
solid steel blades are built to withstand the heavy duty needs of any
office. Automatic features and functional design contribute to simple
operation. Here are more details about the 602CC.

Strengths:

• This shredder is designed for efficiency and offers
  fully automatic operation. User-friendly optical indicators keep
  you apprised of your machine's status. For extra storage when
  you need it, a convenient foldaway shelf is located on the front
  of the device. If you aren't using the shelf, it nestles down
  into the shredder's cabinet for easy accessibility. This
  model also boasts of dust-free operation, which cuts down on
  corrosion from micro-particles as well as requiring less cleaning.
• Specially hardened steel blades are driven by a powerful
  motor designed to be maintenance free. It offers two
  features worth noting: continuous duty and "whisper quiet"
  operation. The first, continuous run, means no more waiting to
  shred. Instead of needing to cool down after a short period of
  heavy use, the engine is robust enough to handle constant
  shredding all day. And who wouldn't want a quieter device?
  This one promises to rid your office of the annoying whine that
  often accompanies shredders.
• A broad 16 inch feed can
  accept just about any size item you may need to shred. Wide
  computer print outs can sit on the folding shelf and shred
  continuously on their own, thanks to a guide strip that ensures
  accurate feeding. The steel cutting shafts take in stapled and
  paperclipped documents up to 16 sheets thick and devour them as
  fast as 30 feet per minute. This is an excellent rate for a cross
  cutting device.
• The cutting cylinders create tiny
  pieces only 1/16 inch by 5/8 inch in size. These small particles
  earn a level 4 security rating. All your personal
  information will stay safe in these miniscule bits as well as any
  confidential client information you may have.
• Paper
  confetti rains down into a spacious 4.5 cubic foot shred bag. That
  equals about 33.7 gallons of waste storage, ample enough for a
  shredder of this size.

Weaknesses

• This device weighs a hefty 132 pounds.
  Fortunately Intimus considered this in their plans and added
  casters on the bottom for added mobility. We don't foresee this
  to be a problem for most users.
• The blades can only
  handle up to 16 sheets at once. This is offset by the shred speed of 30
  feet per minute. For a central office shredder, this
  capacity is excellent. But if your office has extremely high
  shredding needs, you may be more interested in the high capacity version
  of this model.

Overall, the Intimus 602CC is a
great choice for any office. Practical design and automatic features
meet with great capacity and fast shredding to create a machine that is
efficient and easy to use while quickly securing all your confidential
information. We would highly recommend the 602CC Cross Cut Shredder
for your next office device.
