Buyers Guide – How to Choose a Paper Shredder

1. Quality

Consider the build, motor, and blade durability. Cheap shredders often jam or overheat quickly. Look for anti‑jam technology and solid construction.

2. Security Level

P-1 to P-2 for general documents; P-3 to P-4 for confidential business info; P-5 and above for top‑secret data.

3. Sheet Capacity & Run Time

For heavy use, choose a model that handles at least 15 sheets and has a continuous run time of 30+ minutes.

4. Additional Features

• Auto‑start/stop
• Reverse function for clearing jams
• Shredding of CDs, credit cards, staples
• Large bin volume to reduce emptying frequency
