Best Shredders for Paper

it shreds everything from statements to thick postcard-like junk mail.

this is a nice little shredder for small amounts of paper at a time such as mail or receipts but full sheets need to be folded in half.

it works very well and i've been able to shred as i go when doing my bills.

i bought this shredder for junk mail and old credit card and bank statements.

identity theft is real and shredding one's bills etc.

if you put a statement in sideways and it lined up on a cutter wheel you could still make out my name, or even most of an account number or account balance.

of bank statements, and other important papers that we did not want to

we are shredding old bills and documents and this is working very well for us.

however, if i had a big job like shredding several years of bank statements or old love letters from an unfaithful paramour i'd have a trashbag handy.

for my purposes--shredding credit card offers, bank statements, and other documents with personal information--strip cuts are just fine.

the other day i must have shredded 500 old bills (with a 5-10 minute break every 50-75 pages) and not 1 paper jam or shut down.

i went on a cleaning binge and emptied drawers full of old financial statements, tax returns, all kinds of stuff.
