An Assessment Of Cross Cut Paper Shredders Costing Between Fifty To Two Hundred Dollars

You may be considering the purchase of a new paper shredder for your small office

. Be sure to read a review of cross cut paper shredders priced from fifty to two hundred dollars. Here you will find a synopsis of key features and reviews of major brands of shredders.

The number one reason for purchasing any type of shredder is the security in disposal of confidential information. Cross cut shredders offer better protection when compared to straight cut. The reason for this is because it is difficult to piece the scraps back together once shredding is complete. In fact, there are several cut styles as well including diamond and confetti. Diamond may be the most secure type of shredding because the shapes of the pieces are extremely difficult to reassemble.

Other features to think about before deciding on a model include noise level, ease of emptying, ability to tell when full or automatic stop when full, mobility and jam proofing.

Costing between fifty and 100 dollars, basic shredder models will be perfect for offices that require light usage, perhaps once or twice per week. One model consumers like in this category is the Aurora AS1220CD, which shreds 12 sheets at a time, has nine inch paper intake, wheels and a pull out collection bin. SISCO model SC081BP will shred 8 sheets at once, allows staples and has alerts when the wastebasket is full. Reviews say it is a terrific machine for low volume. Royal model VF1012MX is more robust, taking 12 sheets and staples, as well as CDs and credit cards. It receives good consumer ratings for small shred size.

In the range of $100 to $150, you get machines that will handle mid-level impact. Ativa model MD400 has a customer that reported they like how easy it is to empty the waste bin and that there was no assembly required. Customers also are happy with the Fellowes PS-10CS, which accepts ten sheets, staples and credit cards. Accounts include not overheating due to the automatic shut off feature, and that it will not jam. Model 31217 by Aurora allows 12 pages and will shred paper clips, staples, credit cards and compact disks. Consumers like it because it is fast and durable.

For a price category of $150 to $200 there are shredders that fulfill high usage needs. They are typically able to shred between twelve and eighteen pieces at once, as well as other office items such as compact disks and staples. PS-79CI from Fellowes is recommended for being quiet, never jamming and withstands heavy usage. Aurora model AU1217XB is popular for looking nice, being easy to empty, a good value for the money. An Ativa HD800 gets good reviews for quiet operation and handling of unopened envelopes.

Further individual model reviews are also available from online retailers. The insights people give as to the performance of their shredder is invaluable. Be careful, however, of the author of the reviews you look at. Companies will also add reviews, especially if their unit has received poor scores and needs a boost.

Decide what features are important to you in your cross cut paper shredder, then be sure to do your research. This will give you the confidence you are making the best decision for your office.
