Source: ecohomeoffice.com (verified 2026-06-19) · corroborated by royal.com. Re-verified: 18-sheet cross-cut, 5/32 x 1-1/8 in particles, 8.5-gal bin with viewing window, 60-min run, shreds credit/debit cards/CDs/DVDs/staples/mail, SafeSense + auto-reverse. Price $229.89 (from $299.99) confirmed at ecohomeoffice.com; source repointed there (royal.com page does not render a price). SECURITY_LEVEL CORRECTED to null: no consulted source (royal.com, ecohomeoffice, retailers) states a P-rating, and the 5/32 x 1-1/8 in particle is ambiguous between P-3/P-4, so the draft's 'p4' is unsupported. Note: some retailers list this model as discontinued.
