The Intimus 40CC Cross-Cut Shredder appears to be a solid machine with very competitive specs relative to the competition. Used properly I'm not sure why you wouldn't have this machine for quite some time. Below we break down the individual specs.
Security
At a level 3 security, this cross-cut shredder gets the job done. Although there are higher levels of security, a level 3 machine provides a sufficiently small cut size to put your identity theft worries to bed. We also like the cross-cut because it takes up much less space which means that you won't have to empty your bin as frequently as you would with a strip-cut machine. There is really no reason to jump up to a level 4 machine unless you have some ultra-sensitive documents you need destroyed.
Shredable Material
The Intimus 40CC Cross-Cut Shredder can shred CDs, Credit Cards Leon Draisaitl Jersey Womens , Paper, Paper Clips, Staples. 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, otherwise you're just fine.
Bin Size
With a 10.6 gallon bin Ryan Nugent-Hopkins Jersey Authentic , the Intimus 40CC Cross-Cut Shredder can hold a bit more shred than the smallest machines out there, but you'll still be finding yourself emptying the bin fairly frequently. It is great if you need something to fit in a smaller space, but if you shred frequently we recommend jumping up in bin size.
Throat Size
The 9.5 inch throat on this machine gives you a little bit of breathing room when you're shredding regular size paper and the option to shred a few odd shaped things. If you really have large paper, then you'll need to look at machine with something larger than a 10" throat.
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 Sam Gagner Jersey Authentic , 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 3 years parts and labor - Lifetime on cutters on the Intimus 40CC Cross-Cut Shredder is one of the best in the industry so rest assured that you are covered. Just make sure that you oil your machine and avoid inserting any foreign object in the cutting heads and you'll be just fine!
Price
With an MSRP of $1,139.00 this shredder is not the cheapest around but remember to NEVER pay the full amount. You can find discounts of up to 50% off if you look around on the web.

Manufacturer Jargon
The all NEW Intimus Pro 40 Series is lightweight and has all new advanced I-Control, silentec and 2X2. With the high quality and high performance that Intimus provides, these units easily outrank the competition. Your guarantee of perfect safety and privacy. The key to the success of data shredders lies in the infeed behavior and in the geometry of the cutting shafts. Both factors are vital for high performance and for the required shred size. The cutting shafts of Intimus PRO data shredders are integrally made of specially hardened steel. They are wear-free and can handle paper clips and staples. CDs, plastic cards and diskettes are shred with the same precision in a separate cutting unit. The use of the two pairs of cutting cylinders reduces sytem load and guarantees long service life.
So as I mentioned before Markus Granlund Jersey Authentic , we think that the Intimus 40CC Cross-Cut Shredder is a worthy competitor and deserves a second look.

I also wanted to remind you that real-world conditions do not always produce the same results that you might expect from the listed specs. Happy Shredding!
