Security: How secure a paper shredder is depends on the resulting size of the paper pieces. The most common paper shredders are strip-cut, cross-cut, mini-cut, and micro-cut, with strip-cut being the most commonly purchased. Micro-cut offers the highest level of security (our top-rated shredders were cross-cut and micro-cut models).

Fellowes makes paper shredders that are ideal for personal, office, and heavy-duty use. Some of their most popular machines are part of the Powershred and Intellishred lineups. A lot of their devices have SafeSense technology that cause the shredder to stop running if there are foreign objects too close to the feed opening. This feature greatly reduces the risk of injury and makes Fellowes’ smaller shredders ideal for environments in which there are children. (Pets, too.) Also, many Fellowes shredders offer jam-free performance and great warranties. One of their standout devices is the Powershred HS-880 which can run continuously, has a 59-gallon waste bin, and offers Level 6 security – the highest amount possible.
