Review: A Paper Disintegration Machine! (2604smc) - I'm incredibly astounded by how awesome and well-built this 2604 super-micro-cut (P-7) shredder is! It's essentially a 'disintegrator' of paper, and runs about 2x (twice!) the shred speed of my previous 2445smc model by the same company. I included photos of the shredder blades and tiny particulate (the brown particulate is dark kraft packing paper stock I first ran as a test). This is the Self-Oiling model of the 2604smc, which I'm very glad I purchased. After buying the smaller 2445smc (and investing more $$ in a shredder than I had planned) I grew a little 'paranoid' about ensuring it was always being oiled enough—something I can now relax about with automatic oiling. Such much easier and one less thing to worry about. The 2604smc is large and very powerful— at first I questioned a max capacity of 'only' "8-sheets", but once I realized just how many cutting blades were powering through simultaneously I realized how powerful this unit's motor really is. It sounds a little louder to me than the smaller ideal model 2445smc (my first shredder from ideal.), though thankfully not annoyingly so. Two of the photos show this mid-sized (largish) 2604smc model next to the even larger (I call giant) 4005cc model, also built by the same company, tho that 4005 suffered SEVERE shipping damage by the heavy freight company used to deliver it to me and I'll post a review under that 4005cc listing as soon as I see how the company chooses to correct/make-right that 3rd shredder purchase of mine. To confirm: I really am astonished by how incredibly well-built, solid, powerful, and graceful this "well-oiled machine" really is. I cannot recommend this machine highly enough! A rarity these days: It's truly exceeded my expectations.
Review: Amazing Shredder that WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN! - I absolutely love this shredder! I have used many shredders throughout my life and I had no idea that a high quality shredder existed until I discovered this line called ideal. This shredder is a power horse when it comes to shredding and I was able to shred my boxes of built up paper and whole pieces of junk mail without any issues. I don't know if it's the fact that this machine is 100% German made but everything is high quality...even the wooden cabinet and sturdy bin inside of it. I also never knew when to oil my shredder so I love how the auto oiler takes my worries away. I even noticed on the oiler they put these little protection straps around the cap so I couldn't accidentally throw it out (picture attached). I paid good money but I know my investment in this shredder will last me for many years to come. I would highly recommend this shredder to anyone...you will not be let down.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Makes shredding so much fun!
*by P***. on October 6, 2021*

I got tired of buying a new shredder at Costco every few years and I got this for my office instead. Pros: * you will get tired before it gets tired. * it's self oiling! * holds a lot of shredding! * it's pretty quiet; all things considered. * if you are having a bad day, you can just shred some stuff. It's cathartic. Cons: * you can't really feed more than 6-7 sheets into it. I know it says 8 sheet maximum, but that seems to be a stretch. Considering how fine it is shredding, and once you see the crazy shredder gear setup, it will make sense why you can't feed that much through. * it's pretty big. This thing takes up a lot of space in a small office. I'd say it as about same footprint as a large home dishwasher (only taller). * accessories are pricey.
