GBC ShredMaster 2260X Cross-Cut Paper Shredder Review
Although General Binding Corporation (GBC) is primarily known for their binding machines, they also
make some great paper shredders. One example of this is the ShredMaster 2260X cross-cut
shredder. This machine has a lot of advanced features and is a good pick for busy offices that need a
paper shredder with a good level of security. Keep reading to find out more about this great paper
shredder and find out what it can do for you.

The GBC ShredMaster 2260X shredder is perfect for heavy-duty use either by an individual or amongst
several colleagues in an office setting. This shredder can shred 10 sheets of paper per pass and it uses
a cross-cut pattern that gives you a medium level of security, so it’s good for destroying personal
information. (The shreds the machine produces measure 5/32″ x 1 3/8″.) The 2260X can handle
paper clips and staples, plus it can destroy credit cards and DVD’s/CD’s. There’s a separate slot for the
discs and the throat that the paper is fed into measures 9.25 inches so it’s great to shredding both
letter- and legal-sized paper.

The shredder has two waste chambers to keep the paper and media waste separate to allow for easy
recycling. The paper bin has a 13-gallon capacity so you won’t have to empty it very often, which will
save you time. The machine also has a continuous duty motor so you can shred non-stop without
needing to worry about the motor overheating or going into a thermal protection mode. Many other
comparable shredders do not offer continuous duty motors and require a break after a certain number
of minutes shredding.

The 2260X has some other great features. It has a patented SmartShred
multi-function control panel that allows you to see if there are any problems
with the machine, such as a full wastebasket, a paper jam, or if the unit is
overloaded. The shredder is even equipped with castors so you can move it
around easily. Finally, the shredder has an auto stop feature as well as an
anti-jam mode which will reduce the likelihood if you experiencing a paper
jam.

For the most part, the 2260X is a great paper shredder, but it does have a few quirks. This is a rather
big machine so it’s not really a good choice if you want a shredder that can be stored under a desk.
Also, it would have been nice if GBC had given the machine a higher shredding capacity. Ten sheets
isn’t a whole lot, especially since this shredder was designed for continuous use.

All in all, the GBC ShredMaster 2260X cross-cut paper shredder is a pretty good machine for the
money. (It retails for approximately $500.00.) Despite it’s rather low shredding capacity, this machine
would be a good choice for individuals or companies that need a reliable, continuous-duty shredder for
destroying both paper and electronic media such as DVD’s. Having the capability to destroy media is a
great feature to have in a paper shredder, and it’s great that GBC gave this shredder two waste
chambers to keep the different types of waste separate. Overall, this is a good paper shredder that
offers a decent amount of security. People who need a continuous-duty, cross-cut paper shredder
should definitely give the 2260X a look.
