* Since this a strip-cut shredder, it has a Level 2 security rating. (Level 6 is the highest rating possible.) It's perfect for shredding junk mail, old bank statements, and anything else you don't want to end up in the wrong hands.

* Paper shredders can be dangerous, so it's important to choose one that has adequate safety features. The 2360 fits the bill because it has a Safety Protection System. This includes a protective shield in the feed opening that will prevent your hands from coming into contact with the blades.

* This machine operates quietly so your office won't get too cacophonous. That's because the motor is enclosed in a high-quality wooden cabinet. Also, you won't need to spend money on repairs because this device is unlikely to overheat.

* Although this machine is on the large side with dimensions of 11.75" (height) x 15.5" (width) x 25" (depth), it's easy to move around thanks to its casters.
