One of the biggest mistakes that shredder buyers make is purchasing a shredder that does not meet their needs, often buying a lesser capacity shredder that is not durable enough. For example, they may purchase a personal shredder when they may need an office shredder for bigger jobs. They may even need a heavy duty shredder if working in a large office. For greater security needs, a micro cut shredder is the best choice. Also while buying a home paper shredder; buyers may need to consider safety features to safely shred around children and pets.
