Which Shredder should I buy?

Once you start shopping you are suddenly faced with an avalanche of information. There are so many models to choose from — personal shredders for home use, office and departmental shredders for bigger use, and even industrial shredders for major jobs — and lots of specifications. There are machines capable of shredding multimedia formats like CDs and credit cards. There are several quality manufacturers like GBC, Dahle, Fellowes, MBM, Olympia, Kobra and HSM. Our intention here is to demystify the information and help you choose the best type of shredder for the job.

Before you buy, consider how your shredder will be used. What types of documents will you shred? Is it mostly general paper documents, or will there be sensitive information? Credit card receipts, social security numbers, financial statements and trade secrets all contain information that could be detrimental if it falls into the wrong hands.

The greater the sensitivity the smaller the shred size should be. General strip cut machines are less expensive, but those shredded strips can be pieced together with not too great effort. Cross-cut machines will make it harder on info-thieves, and particle or high-security cuts make it nigh impossible to put the puzzle back together.

Are you going to be using the shredder at home or for your personal small business? Or is this a machine to be shared in an office or department? Maybe you work for the government and the requirements are specific. The new, stricter DOD/NSA security requirements are now required and a number of companies have new shredders that meet these updated standards.

We're here to help. Thanks for visiting and be sure to tell your friends and associates about us.
