Paper shredders are no longer found only in an office environment.
With more and more people working from home, and dramatic reductions in both size and price, paper shredders are becoming a common and useful home office product. Whether your purpose is to assure the confidentiality of discarded documents, or to minimize waste paper in your garbage, shredders are a helpful tool.
Paper shredders today range in price from $10 to $200 or more. Depending on your needs, there are shredders that can take care of single or multiple sheets. Most shredders have simple controls for moving paper forward, backward, or using an automatic forward and off button.
As with other home office products, it's a good idea to look carefully at the warranty. In most cases, you should expect at least a 90-day warranty on cheaper home models and a one-year replacement warranty on higher-end models.
