3. HP OneShred 8CC
Destructible document types: paper clips, staples, credit cards. With particle or cross-cut shredding, the documents you entrust to your device for destruction are cut both lengthwise and crosswise. The size of the resulting particles determines the security level and thus the intended use of the device. Compared to a strip-cut shredder, the particles not only provide higher data security, as reconstruction is more difficult than with strips, but they also take up slightly less space in the waste container, as they are more compact. A device with particle cutting serves you well at home and in the office, especially if you place a high value on data security.
