Durable shredder shreds up to 10 sheets per pass with a 10-minute continuous runtime. Separate slot designed for shredding credit cards & CDs / DVDs safely keeps plastic away from your paper waste. GoECO technology prevents phantom power loss. It will only draw power during actual operation so you use less energy & save money.
