Swingline Stack-and-Shred 500X Hands-Free Micro-Cut Shredder - The Swingline Stack-and-Shred 500X Heavy-Duty Cross-Cut Shredder with 500 sheet capacity is a machine that will save you time. A convenient top loader makes it easy to shred entire files of documents at once, and a pin code lock makes it possible for you to keep others out while the shredder finishes your file, keeping you from having to "babysit" the machine, letting you get back to work. It not only cuts through standard grade copy paper, but it also shreds staples and paper clips, eliminating the time-consuming task of taking them out of each of your documents before shredding.

The blades used in the Swingline Stack-and-Shred are designed to last for years, and the quiet motor won't prove to be a distraction to others, whether used at the office or at home. The transparent front of the machine lets you easily see when the wastebasket needs to be emptied, avoiding costly paper jams. The stack and shut top-loading design makes it easy to cut through various kinds of neatly-stacked paper, as well as credit cards, CDs and DVDs, and your purchase will come with a two-year warranty on both the cutters and the machine.

The Swingline Stack-and-Shred features an oil reservoir that allows the machine to oil itself on a periodic schedule, and it also features a self-cleaning mechanism, making this machine relatively maintenance-free, increasing office productivity. For immediate shredding, the external tray lets you shred up to ten sheets of paper at a time when you don't want to use the main tray. With medium security, you'll know your files have been destroyed and are safe from recovery, and a shred speed of ten sheets per minute means you won't have to wait long before adding your next batch of documents to be shredded.

The Swingline Stack-and-Shred has a 21-gallon capacity. This is a generous amount of room for a heavy duty paper shredder designed for the office. The increased functionality of this paper shredder over other shredders in its class makes it a valuable piece of equipment for your home or office. Corporate outfits love it because it takes up little space and makes less noise than traditional shredders, and it keeps employee productivity at a maximum by permitting them to go back to work while it shreds large amounts of paper effortlessly without requiring the removal of staples or paper clips.

This machine gets its status as a heavy-duty machine by its durability and its ability to handle large volumes of material. It also is considered heavy duty because it processes paper quickly with medium security shredding, maintaining the confidentiality of proprietary corporate information and processes. Its manual bypass option gives users the choice to quickly shred a few documents at a time, rather than doing a bulk load. Those who have made use of this machine, both in a corporate environment and at home, have enthused about its quiet operation and reliable performance, posting many positive online reviews that can be found wherever this product is sold.
