Strengths:
Use is mainly run by a multi-functional control panel with optical signals that keep the user informed of the machine''s status. Choices include Power On, Bag Full, Overload, Door Ajar, Bag Full Shut Off, Auto Stop On Jam, and Auto On/Off. Each status will cause the device to attempt to resolve the issue, whether by turning off so the user can replace the shred bag or by automatically reversing to clear the blades of a jam.
The powerful motor is conveniently rated for continuous duty. This means that you won''t encounter the frequent cool down periods often needed by smaller machines. Without this feature, the 5500S wouldn''t be able withstand the continual, all day shredding needs of many larger offices.
A wide 15 inch funneled throat helps to guide items in to prevent paper jams. Up to 22 sheets can enter at once and are shred as fast as 40 feet per minute. Items can include standard staples and paperclips as well as credit cards and CDs. Narrow, ¼" strips remain and offer a level 2 security rating. This is perfect for the disposal of low risk general office documents.
The unreadable strips fall into a large 42 gallon shred bin. The generous size of the container allows for fewer bag changes. A reasonable amount of waste is collected while still being manageable to remove and replace the shred bag.
GBC provides one of the best warranties in the business, offering lifetime coverage on the cutters. The rest of the machine carries a three year warranty on parts and labor, which includes convenient on-site service.
