Key points to be mastered in selecting 7 shredders

Although the paper shredder only cuts the paper, there are also grade differences in the degree of paper shredding, the number of sheets that can be shredded at the same time, additional functions and the noise generated during paper shredding of different grades of paper shredders. Next, please refer to the seven precautions for the purchase of small paper shredder to help you find the ideal household paper shredder.

1. Shredder size

Since the shredder is attached with a chip collecting bucket, and the chip collecting bucket can be easily filled with small capacity, it is recommended to understand the daily paper shredding demand and use frequency before selecting the shredder.

If the amount of single shredding is small and the use frequency is not high, it is recommended to choose a small shredder with small volume and no space; For those who have high frequency of use and need a large amount of paper shredding at a single time, Xiaobian suggests that it is more convenient to choose a large-scale paper shredder with better performance. However, the volume and price of the relatively large-scale paper shredder will be higher than that of the small-scale paper shredder, but the capacity of the chip collecting bucket of the large-scale paper shredder is large, so the number of paper shredding garbage cleaning will be reduced accordingly.

2. Amount of shredded paper

Another important specification of the shredder is "shredding quantity". The higher the shredding quantity, the more sheets can be input at a single time, which can reduce the number and time of each input when dealing with a large number of waste documents.

The amount of paper shredded by personal or household shredders is about 2 ~ 5. If the frequency of use is not frequent, this type of machine is enough. However, if the budget allows, choosing a high amount of paper shredder can relatively shorten the operation time. Although each paper shredder will have the recommended number of paper shredders, it still reminds people with a large number of paper shredders that it is safer to choose a paper shredder with overheating protection mechanism!

3. Size of shredder input port

The sizes of paper are A4, A3, B4 and so on. If the paper inlet of the shredder is too small, it will be more inconvenient when shredding. Especially for the small shredder model, the paper inlet is usually designed to be small. Of course, there is no problem breaking small paper, but if you are dealing with common A4 documents, you must fold it in half before you can put it into use. Basically, Xiaobian believes that A4 is the most common file size, so the shredder model with input size suitable for A4 has high universality.

If you care about the lightness of the shredder, you can also first understand the size of the paper you usually use most often and use it as an indicator to select the shredder!

4. Shredding method

Waste documents can not be safely protected as long as they are put into the shredder. If the shredder can cut the paper into pieces and make it more difficult to recover, the safety is relatively high. There are three shredding methods of shredders on the market: direct cutting (straight strip type), segment shredding (short shredding type) and fine shredding (shredding type). In terms of privacy protection and security, of course, the shredding method of shredders is that the more shredded the better, but the shredded paper is small and easy to fly away, which is easy to cause difficulties in dumping.

Therefore, it is generally recommended to choose straight strip shredder or segment shredder, which should be enough, and the broken paper of straight strip shredder and segment shredder can also be used as buffer packaging for express delivery. However, the main difference of this type of shredder is the width or length of the paper after cutting. If it is too wide, it is certainly difficult to prevent interested people from restoring it. Therefore, if you want to handle letters or documents containing information more carefully, please pay attention to the width and length of the shredder in the specification of the shredder, and choose the model that can cut the paper more finely first.

5. Is there a transparent visual window in the chip collecting bucket

The shredder on the market will have a warning to remind everyone that the scraping bucket needs to be dumped when it is about seven minutes full, so as not to affect the performance of the shredder. Therefore, if the scraping bucket body is not transparent or there is no visual window, it is impossible to grasp the situation of the scraping bucket. It is usually not found that the scraping bucket needs to be dumped until the paper jam or the performance of the shredding becomes worse. Therefore, Xiaobian suggests that when selecting the shredder, Priority shall be given to the model with transparent visual window in the chip collection bucket.

6. Whether it has the paper return function of anti paper jam

Paper jam is inevitable when using the shredder, so it is recommended to choose the electric shredder with paper return function. However, when using the shredder, it is recommended that you should pay attention to the amount of paper shredded by the shredder, and do not cause frequent paper jams in the shredder for the sake of speed, which will affect the service life of the shredder.

7. Are additional functions required

In addition to shredding, many shredder brands have launched other convenient additional functions, such as shredding discs, chips and so on. If such non paper items are handled frequently, it is recommended to choose a shredder model that can support the shredding of optical discs, or consider a shredder model with different input ports or chip collection barrels at the same time.

In addition, some documents will be bound with staples. If you need to crush these documents, you need to pull out the staples first. If you want to save the time of processing documents with staples, you can choose the shredder model that supports staples, which can be shredded together with staples.
