Because the size of this shredder is only 16" x 17", you can fit this shredder anywhere in your home. What separates this shredder from many other cross cut shredders is its ability to shred DVDS, CDs, credit cards, paper clips, and staples. One of the unique features of the EX12-05 is a separate slot for shredding discs and credit cards, which helps prevent wear and tear of the main cutters. It also includes a 5 gallon pull out bin to make emptying the shreds very easy.
