We recently took a look at the GoECOlife GXC180T 18-Sheet Cross-Cut Green Commercial Shredder.Overall the machine is quite nice but I'll let you be the judge afteryou see the pros and cons below. Always remember that the stated specsof a machine do not always translate precisely to a real-worldenvironment.SecurityAt a level 3 security, this cross-cut shredder gets the job done.Although there are higher levels of security, a level 3 machineprovides a sufficiently small cut size to put your identity theftworries to bed. We also like the cross-cut because it takes up muchless space which means that you won't have to empty your bin asfrequently as you would with a strip-cut machine. There is really noreason to jump up to a level 4 machine unless you have someultra-sensitive documents you need destroyed.Shredable MaterialThe GoECOlife GXC180T 18-Sheet Cross-Cut Green Commercial Shreddercan shred CDs, Credit Cards, Paper, Staples. If you need to be able toshred something else then we recommend that you look at a largermachine and/or look for something with a little bit lower security (thehigher the security the less likelihood that the machine shredssomething other than paper).Continuous MotorThis shredder is rated for continuous operation. That means thattheoretically you could shred all day long and the machine would nothave to shut-down to cool off. Remember that results may vary underreal-world operating conditions and things such as the temperature ofthe room will affect the ability of this motor to stay cool andcontinue to shred. We give this machine 2 pats on the back for beingrated continuous duty and we know that you'll appreciate this featurein due time.Bin SizeWith a 10 gallon bin, the GoECOlife GXC180T 18-Sheet Cross-Cut Green Commercial Shreddercan hold a bit more shred than the smallest machines out there, butyou'll still be finding yourself emptying the bin fairly frequently. Itis great if you need something to fit in a smaller space, but if youshred frequently we recommend jumping up in bin size.Throat SizeThe 9.05 inch throat on this machine gives you a little bit ofbreathing room when you're shredding regular size paper and the optionto shred a few odd shaped things. If you really have large paper, thenyou'll need to look at machine with something larger than a 10" throat.Auto OilerThis machine does not come with an auto-oiler and does not have theoption to have one installed. Although automatic oilers are notnecessary to maintain your machine, they do take the guess-work out ofmaintenance. Don't hold it against the machine though as you can easilyoil the machine yourself on regular intervals.WarrantyThe GoECOlife GXC180T 18-Sheet Cross-Cut Green Commercial Shreddercomes with a Two year limited warranty. This means that you have plentyof time to test out the machine and make sure that everything isrunning smoothly. Just make sure to properly care for your machine andyou shouldn't have any issues. PriceThe MSRP is $599.99 but you can find it for much less online if youlook around. Don't let the price deter you until you do a little bit ofcomparison shopping first.About the ManufacturerCertified CarbonFree to meet the rigorous standards of theCarbonFree Product Certification Program, GoECOlife assessed the carbonfootprint of this product throughout its lifecycle and offset thecarbon footprint of the product through investments in renewable energyand reforestation.
