In the market for a new Amazon paper shredder?
Wondering which one is best for you? This article provides you with a comparison of different types of Amazon paper shredders and their features.
Security — When it comes to security, cross cut paper shredders, also known as confetti cut, diamond cut or micro cut, are the most secure. Identity thieves now use software to recreate information from strip cut paper shreds. Cross-cut paper shreds are almost impossible to recreate.
Ease of Use — When it comes to ease of use, having an auto-reverse button will help you clear paper jams fast and easily. You may also consider a shredder with jam-free rollers.
Paper Waste bin — Another ease-of-use feature to consider is the type of paper bin. Many people prefer pull-out bins versus standard bins. On shredders with standard bins, the top of the shredder must be removed to empty the bin. Most people find a pull-out bin to be more convenient and less messy.
Safety — Another factor to consider is safety. If you are shopping for a home paper shredder and have small children, consider getting one with safety features. Most safety features will not allow the shredder to turn on under the following conditions: if the top is off, if gears are exposed, if the bin is open, or if the shredder has tipped over. The safety features require the shredder to be in a safe-operating condition before starting, and automatically turn off the shredder if it becomes unsafe.
Durability — You also want to consider the toughness of what you will be shredding. Do you need to shred credit cards, CD’s & DVD’s? How about papers with staples or paper clips? Shredders that shred more than just paper will cost a little more but it’s often worth the cost to shred papers without having to remove the staples & paper clips.
Paper Volume — If you are looking for a personal paper shredder for your home and will be shredding less than a handful of papers each day, then a shredder under $150 will suit your needs. If you are looking for a shredder for an office and plan to shred a stack or two of paper each day, then invest in a commercial-grade shredder, which will run you upwards of $150 or more.
