Kobra +1 SS4 38.5L Small Office/Home Card/DVD Paper Strip Cut Shredder 17-19p

ok

Shredder works well and is really quite quiet for a business type machine.

Good at first but let down by flimsy build quality

Firstly I would not recommend this shredder to anyone, read on if you want details. I have had my Kobra +1 SS4 Strip Cut Shredder for 6 months now it is becoming unreliable. While all the features look good on paper i.e. continuous duty cycle, good warranty etc. it is let down by its poor build quality. My shredder is virtually coming apart and I am not a heavy user at all, the shredder vibrates badly and that is the cause. Inside where you feed the paper there is a plastic part that has started to stick out and I cannot even feed the paper in, I had to use packing tape inside the throat to try and hold it together so that I can feed paper in. The last shredder that I had was a Fellowes that lasted 3.5 years.

Also when I received it the instructions stated to use the included oil if the shredders performance dropped however there was no oil included in the box with the shredder. Next time (probably soon at the rate this machine is falling apart) I will switch back to a Fellowes shredder.

Great Strip Cut Shredder

This shredder is excellent if you don't mind slightly less security than what a cross cut shredder offers. At level 2, with a bin capacity of 38.5 litres you cannot go wrong purchasing this shredder for a small office, home office, or for personal use if you want that extra quality. With steel gears and chains and the fact this model is sold by numerous online stores you can be guaranteed of quality.

Tough as nails

My wife brought me this shredder for my birthday as I had purchased several fellows shredders but they never lasted long.I am very impressedBy the contionus run time as the shredder does not turn off after only several minutes of use like other shredders.As it is Italan made it looks very impressive in my office and is very well made.I also love the fact that This model shredder does not need to be oiled saves heaps of money not having to buy oil.Best present my wife has ever brought for me.Would highly recommend this shredder.
