KAVINSTAR MC 15 IS OFFICE USE 15 SHEET CONFIDENTIAL SHREDDING MICRO-CUT PAPER SHREDDER MACHINE WITH CD, CREDIT CARD DESTROYER
PROS:
- Micro-cut produces nearly 8X more particles than cross-cut
- Quiet for a shredder
- Pullout basket comes out and goes back in easily
- Large capacity waste bin
- Caster wheels for easy mobility
The difference in how small the pieces are for a micro-cut paper shredder machines over a cross-cut paper shredder machines is tremendous. Here’s a breakdown of the different cut types: strip cut: security level 2, 39 strips per 8.5″ x 11″ sheet cross-cut: security level 3, 399 particles per 8.5″ x 11″ sheet micro-cut: security level 4, 3,000 particles per 8.5″ x 11″ sheet That’s almost eight times the number of particles from cross-cut to micro-cut. When shredding with my cross-cut shredder, I made sure to shred sheets of paper perpendicular to the print. The cross-cut pieces were long enough that shredding parallel to the print would still allow some information to be easily read. With micro-cut, that’s a non-issue. I can shred receipts, bills, and other documents at any angle and the pieces come out extremely small. For all intents and purposes, there’d be no way for anyone to put these pieces of paper back together. NOISE I measured the noise of my old Kavinstar MC15 with an American Recorder SPL-8810 sound level meter and got 91.8 dBA. The Kavinstar, which benefits from the enclosed basket design, measured at 82.2 dBA — almost a full 10 dBA quieter than the Kavinstar. The ambient noise level was about 34.7 dBA and I measured both shredders right near the mouth.
KAVINSTAR MC 15 MICRO-CUT PAPER SHREDDER MACHINE DESIGN & FEATURES
The pullout basket is a sizable 8.9 gallons, which holds a ton of micro-cut pieces. It removes easily when you need to empty it and goes back in pretty smoothly as well. Removing it also activates a sensor that automatically disables the motor for added safety. The three-position auto/off/reverse switch works well, but is the only way keep the shredder off, other than unplugging it. The Kavinstar has a separate safety lock to help prevent yourself and your kids from accidentally activating the shredder. I always unplug the shredder when I’m not using it, but if you like to keep yours plugged in, just keep in mind that there’s no additional lock. I also want to mention that the green LED power light on the Kavinstar is extremely bright. I don’t recommend looking straight down at it, which might be hard to do if you’re standing over it while feeding paper through it. CONCLUSION The Kavinstar 15-sheet micro-cut shredder is a fantastic value. The micro-cut feature alone is worth the small premium over standard shredders, like the Kavinstar MC15. Add the quiet operation and large, easy-to-empty waste bin and it’s almost a no-brainer.

Excellent shredder: works well. No trouble cutting through many papers, clips, CDs, staples, credit cards and envelopes. And, it reverses itself if you put too much in at once. Very smart machine!
The motor sounds very strong too.
I would buy this machine again. It’s much better than the last one I bought for under 30000. I got this machine in July for about 29000 less than it’s priced now, so the price has gone up quickly. I got it on a lightning deal, but the price was still raised a lot, even compared to its regular previous price.
Only things I don’t like is that it’s heavy to move around, and it’s also hard to keep changing a bag or throwing out the pieces. And it fills up fast, a red light comes on, you have to move around the pieces or press them down. But really, you need to just change the bag. I just use a regular trash bag.
I don’t know if you need to oil the cutting parts or do anything to maintain this, because no directions about this are given. I recommend this shredder despite these few issues.

We have gone through many shredders over the years but this one is the absolute best so far. It is so quiet and extremely fast for the micro results. Since it accepts up to 15 pages per pass, it makes shredding so much less of a chore! Great product!
