It is much better than a home shredder. **Q: How often is it necessary to oil the cd shredder and how many cds can be done before overheating.** A: I haven't used the CD shredder however, I regularly lubricate the paper shredder to maintain the shredding mechanism. I think of it like a car engine, keeping the cylinders oiled so that everything flows. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love it! Better than expected! *by N***T on 10 April 2016* It arrived with a castor wheel section which had popped off, which came off again later, but, apart from that...... I like it! A lot!At last, a shredder which can cope with more than around 3 sheets of normal, average, everyday kind of paper which we actually shred, not the thin 80gsm stuff the manufacturers seem to think we use. Previously, I have had domestic shredders over the years which eventually give up, but only ever used those on an occasional basis for a very small number of sheets to shred, unlike now, where I have a need for one which will cope with daily use to shred older records.So, taking that into account, it takes less than 16 sheets of 'normal' paper, on average, I was feeding 10 A4 sheets of old reports, bank statements etc. Any more without overloading and it slows down a bit, as they all do, so productivity is also slowed, so personally, that's the number which kept me on the go.The shredder looks good, has a sliding lid to hide or reveal the feeding slot and controls. It is very quiet and has a large waste bin with a viewing panel to see how full it's getting. I preferred to empty it well before the full container warning light illuminated, as it was easier and less messy. I haven't tried the waste bags which are supposed to fit from another source. I found it easier to empty into a giant tub and when that was fuller, into a recycling bag for household collection.I found a cd and noticed it was shredded into many pieces with ease as was a credit card in the dedicated slot and with a most satisfying noise too, nearly as satisfying as pushing glass bottles through the hole at the bottle bank, but that's maybe a personal thing of mine.As the shredder is getting used on a near daily basis with a decent amount of paper, maybe the equivalent of a ream or two of printed paper, the occasional stapled sheets but definitely not 60 minutes of continuous work, I have used the oiled sheets to keep it lubricated. I'll probably switch to just using the oil, if the workload continues to be daily.All in all, I am pleased with the shredder. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Shredder has defeated the turtles *by B***� on 8 December 2021* So long TMNT 🤣Jokes aside. So satisfying shredding paper (and cardboard depending on thickness)Push up the guard/cover to turn on. Autostarts when it sensors paper.Has light indicators to when the bin is full/overloaded/overheat (hasn't overheated or jammed on me so far) manual buttons to drive the blades forward or reverse. Great purchase 😁 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It has a good “appetite” that should meet the demands of a shredder that can cope with a good volume of shredding *by S***N on 21 October 2016* The uncluttered design of the 1600XCD shredder for the office/home lends itself to being a relatively discrete piece of kit, and it has a good “appetite” that should meet the demands of a shredder that can cope with a good volume of shredding. Most shredders need to cool down after a thorough shredding session, but not this one. It purportedly has innovative cooling means that this shredder can work continuously. It does so relatively quietly 57-66dB and better than previous generations. It Conforms to DIN level 4, where all “models must shred documents into Cross Cut particles of at least 2x15mm. These tiny particles are often referred to in the industry as "Micro Cut" This level is recommended for secret documents which may include documents that would jeopardise personal or institutional safety if they were to fall into the wrong hands”.It has auto start/stop control, shreds credit cards/CD/DVDs.Cut Type: Cross CutSecurity Level: DIN level P-4Shred Capacity: Up to 16 sheetsShred Size: 4x39mmWaste Capacity: 29 litresWe have been happy with the performance of our unit. ## Frequently Bought Together - Swordfish 1600XCD Continuous Shredding 16 Sheet P-4 Cross Cut Paper/Document Shredder [40244], Black, Silver - Swordfish Shredder Oil Lubrication Bottle 240ml - Suitable for all Paper Shredders ref 40069 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/48059751-1600xcd-16-sheet-cross-cut](https://www.desertcart.be/products/48059751-1600xcd-16-sheet-cross-cut) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
