Genie 1501 XCD Cross-Cut Paper Shredder, 10 Sheets, 21 L, Black/Silver

The Genie 1501 XCD is a reliable cross-cut paper shredder designed for home and small office use. With a security level P-4, it shreds up to 10 sheets of A4 paper (80 g/m²) into 4 x 40 mm particles, ensuring confidential documents are securely destroyed. The 21-liter pull-out bin reduces emptying frequency, and the 220 mm throat width accepts paper, staples, paper clips, and credit cards. Features include auto start/stop, reverse function, and thermal overload protection for safe operation.

Advantages
