A Shredding Review Of The Kobra 240 C2t Turbo Cross Cut Shredder

After looking over the Kobra 240 C2T Turbo Cross Cut Shredder we were quite pleased with its specs. Now it may not be the cheapest on the market but we think that the few extra bucks youll spend will be worth it. Check out the specs below and judge for yourself.

Security
This shredder sports a level 4 security which means that no one is going to be able to read your documents. A level 3 in generally sufficient for most environments but the level 4 provides that extra level of security. An added bonus with this machine is that because the shreds are smaller, they take up less space so youll be able to shred more paper before you have to dump out the bin. This will save you time and money (when it comes to bags).

Shredable Material
The Kobra 240 C2T Turbo Cross Cut Shredder can shred Paper, Paper Clips, Staples. If you need to be able to shred something else then we recommend that you look at a larger machine and/or 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 rated for continuous operation. That means that theoretically you could shred all day long and the machine would not have to shut-down to cool off. Remember that results may vary under real-world operating conditions and things such as the temperature of the room will affect the ability of this motor to stay cool and continue to shred. We give this machine 2 pats on the back for being rated continuous duty and we know that youll appreciate this feature in due time.

Bin Size
With a 9.5 gallon bin, the Kobra 240 C2T Turbo Cross Cut Shredder can hold a bit more shred than the smallest machines out there, but youll 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 youre shredding regular size paper and the option to shred a few odd shaped things. If you really have large paper, then youll 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, they do take the guess-work out of maintenance. Dont hold it against the machine though as you can easily oil the machine yourself on regular intervals.

Warranty
The Kobra 240 C2T Turbo Cross Cut Shredder comes with a Limited 1 Year Warranty on Shredder, 5 Years on Cutting Blades. This means that you have plenty of time to test out the machine and make sure that everything is running smoothly. Just make sure to properly care for your machine and you shouldnt have any issues.

Price
The MSRP is $ 1,775.00 but you can find it for much less online if you look around. Dont let the price deter you until you do a little bit of comparison shopping first.
