In-Depth Review of the GoECOlife GXC160T 16-Sheet Cross-Cut Green Commercial
Shredder

After pulling out our microscope and taking a closer look, the GoECOlife GXC160T 16-Sheet
Cross-Cut Green Commercial Shredder has proved to be a worthy machine. It’s a fairly
versatile machine with a not-too-crazy price tag either (but remember you can often get a
better deal if you call or email :-) Overall we’d recommend this machine but I suggest that
you take a look at the specs yourself.

Security
At a level 3 security, this cross-cut shredder gets the job done. Although there are higher
levels of security, a level 3 machine provides a sufficiently small cut size to put your
identity theft worries to bed. We also like the cross-cut because it takes up much less
space which means that you won’t have to empty your bin as frequently as you would with
a strip-cut machine. There is really no reason to jump up to a level 4 machine unless you
have some ultra-sensitive documents you need destroyed.

Shredable Material
The GoECOlife GXC160T 16-Sheet Cross-Cut Green Commercial Shredder can shred CDs, Credit Cards, Paper,
Staples. If you need to be able to shred something else then we recommend that you look at a larger
machine and/or look for something with a little bit lower security (the higher the security the less likelihood
that the machine shreds something other than paper).

Continuous Motor
This shredder is rated for continuous operation. That means that theoretically you could shred all day long
and the machine would not have to shut-down to cool off. Remember that results may vary under real-world
operating conditions and things such as the temperature of the room will affect the ability of this motor to
stay cool and continue to shred. We give this machine 2 pats on the back for being rated continuous duty and
we know that you’ll appreciate this feature in due time.

Bin Size
At 7 gallons, the GoECOlife GXC160T 16-Sheet Cross-Cut Green Commercial Shredder is a personal/deskside
machine. You won’t be able to shred too much before you have to empty it, but presumably you won’t be
shredding that frequently. If you will, we recommend that you jump up to something with a bigger bin size.

Throat Size
The 9.05 inch throat on this machine gives you a little bit of breathing room when you’re shredding regular
size paper and the option to shred a few odd shaped things. If you really have large paper, then you’ll need to
look at machine with something larger than a 10” throat.

Auto Oiler
This machine does not come with an auto-oiler and does not have the option to have one installed. Although
automatic oilers are not necessary to maintain your machine, they do take the guess-work out of
maintenance. Don’t hold it against the machine though as you can easily oil the machine yourself on regular
intervals.

Warranty
The GoECOlife GXC160T 16-Sheet Cross-Cut Green Commercial Shredder comes with a Two year limited
warranty. This means that you have plenty of time to test out the machine and make sure that everything is
running smoothly. Just make sure to properly care for your machine and you shouldn’t have any issues.

Price
With an MSRP of $499.99 this shredder is not the cheapest around but remember to NEVER pay the full
amount. You can find discounts of up to 50% off if you look around on the web.

So as I mentioned before, we think that the GoECOlife GXC160T 16-Sheet Cross-Cut Green
Commercial Shredder is a worthy competitor and deserves a second look. If you have more specific
questions I didn’t answer here, feel free to give us a call and we’d be happy to help you out. I also
