Comparing Brands of Office Shredders
Posted by TheScene on June 24, 2008
Reading product reviews for me is like having a crystal ball into the future - they let me know what to expect from a product. I tend to rely on them quite a bit when I am in the market to buy, so when I was in the market for a new office shredder, it came as no surprise that I would see what reviews I could dig up.
I don’t know if it was just me, but when I did do a search for paper shredder reviews, I didn’t come up with much. The few reviews that I did read seemed to lack the impartiality that I was looking for, so I decided that I would just do some myself.
I picked up one Destroyit shredder and a couple Dahle paper shredders that were of similar price to see what we thought. They both had a return policy that would allow for such testing and I made sure to ask the companies that I bought them from if their return policy would allow me to return them if I was not satisfied with their product.
The testing methodology that we used was to shred the similar amount of waste paper in each one to see how much waste was left. I guess it would be obvious that we would get the same weight out, but I wanted to see how fine the shredded paper that came out of the machine would be.
We will be testing the shredders over the next couple of weeks. We will be also looking for a place where we can recycle shredded paper - it seems to be the responsible thing to do.

I just recently bought a Fellowes paper shredder and so far I have been really happy with it. They have several different kinds of shredder depending on the job that needs to be done and price range. I’m really intrigued by their new jam proof technology.
