ACCO Rexel Style Plus Confetti-Cut Shredder

Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

The ACCO Rexel Style Plus may be the most stylish home office shredder on the market. With sleek curves and styling cues taken from the iPod, this compact shredder nonetheless manages to deliver even more substance than it has style, and can reduce up to seven sheets of paper to confetti-cut in moments. Shredding all kinds of sensitive documents into 4mm x 23mm means you can improve confidentiality and security for the home or small office. This machine is certified to security level S3 (on a scale of S1 to S5), and is therefore appropriate for shredding confidential documents.

The Style Plus has an automatic start and stop, as well as a reverse function. The entry slot design makes it simple to feed in the documents to be shredded. In addition, this model is capable of shredding credit cards, and doesn’t need oiling.

The 12 litre bin has a clear window, so you can see when it needs emptying. To empty, simply pull out the horizontally-opening bin. The smallness of the ACCO Rexel confetti cut, however, means you will not need to empty this shredder as frequently as conventional models which use a ribbon-cut. Compact enough to sit under the desk, this model also comes with an ergonomic carrying handle.

This model comes with a manufacturer’s two year warranty and an additional 5 year warranty on the Style cutters.

Costumer Testimonials

Bought my Wife this shredder for Xmas. She utilized it for a few minutes and then it stopped operating. Problem was a paper jam. She had fed the machine no extra than two sheets at a time and it still jammed. Reversing the motor didn't zero cost up the jam either. When I looked at it you could hear the motor operating in the forward or reverse path but the teeth on the cutting wheel weren't moving. I decided to pull it apart in the hope of freeing up some of the paper and getting everyhting working again. Soon after 30minutes the machine was apart and any paper removed. Nevertheless, the issue was that in between the motor and the cutting wheel had been a bunch of gears. Some were metal and some were plastic. Essentially what had occurred was that the worm gear straight from the motor was created of metal and meshed with a different worm gear but this was created of plastic. A portion of the plastic worm gear had it really is teeth worn off and couldn't bedriven any much more. Obviously the paper jam had stopped the cutting wheel from moving. The motor didn't quit when the jam was detected (like it should really have) and the motor continued to turn it is metal worm gear against the non-moving plastic worm gear resulting in it becoming worn down. This is poor design placing metal gears to drive plastic gears as in a high torque device such as the shredder it is apparent the plastic gears are going to get worn out. Did not feel it would take just a handful of minuites although.

Nevertheless the machinhe does appear nice even if it doesn't perform anymore.

Even immediately after cleaning it out thoroughly it can not cut a single sheet without having overheating. That sheet is also far from correctly cut. I'm now off to obtain one other shredder. Hopefully a single that will final longer than the warranty!

Avoid this 1 and get one particular that lasts longer than 12 months.
