Today my wife and I paid a trip to the local Costco to do a little grocery shopping. I couldn’t help but notice as we walked by the office supply section that several paper shredders were being offered. While they looked halfway decent for individual use, I couldn’t help but wonder, “I hope nobody is buying these for their office.” I have been around office paper shredders for over 10 years and know which brands to look out for.
While I won’t mention any of the brands I would stay way from by name, (although a certain James Bond movie comes to mind) I will gladly list 5 brands that I would recommend to my closest friends and family for office use. These brands have impeccable reputations and are widely used by government agencies and businesses throughout the United States.
These are the top 5 best brands I would recommend for office use. Four of these brands are made in Germany. Do you see a trend here?
Dahle – Dahle is well known for their lines of paper cutters, trimmers, folding machines and other products. They are equally as known for their German-made line of high-end office paper shredders. Dahle paper shredders come in strip cut, cross cut and even high security designs. Dahle shredders are known for their easy-to-use control panels and unparalleled sound absorption technology. Most Dahle shredders feature thermally protected motor, chain driven shredder blades and premium electronic components. You can find our Dahle paper shredders here.
Destroyit – I have a lot of respect for MBM Destroyit (by Ideal). These German paper shredders may be some of the best around. These shredders are designed to be used and abused and still function. As is the case with Dahle, Destroyit shredders feature continuous-duty motors that can run all day long without overheating. I have seen Destroyit shredders last well over 5 years without an issue. Destroyit is easily a personal favorite. We see these shredders ship out all the time and I’m not aware of anyone returning one. You can find our Destroyit paper shredders here.
Formax – Formax is kind of the new kid on the block, having only been around for a 3-4 years. While Formax is new, compared to the other brands on this list, they are some of the best value for the dollar. While some of these shredders look like something that came out of an industrial complex, they are a huge hit with our customers. As notoriety improves, we see more of these shredders shipping. Formax has done a great job making office paper shredders. If you are looking for something that will last for years, and not break the bank, consider buying one of these. Formax has a great reputation with our customers. You can find our Formax paper shredders here.
HSM – HSM is a brand that is well-known in Europe, being German, but aren’t as well known in the United States. This shouldn’t scare you off. HSM paper shredders, including their well-known Shredstar line, are some of the best available. HSM shredders look great and blend in well with an office environment. HSM makes strip cut, cross cut and high-security paper shredders. You can find our HSM paper shredders here.
Intimus – These German shredders, which used to be owned by Schleicher, are now owned and managed by Martin Yale. These are some of the nicest-looking paper shredders we offer. They also feature energy conservation technology, sound absorbing shocks and are packed with features. Intimus paper shredders are also popular with government and military entities. You can find our Intimus paper shredders here.
I am confident that you will be pleased with paper shredders from any of these brands. You can find our entire line of paper shredders here. Please feel free to call 1-800-543-5454 to speak with one of Office Zone’s paper shredder specialists.
