What is a quiet paper shredder for a small office?

Question

I have a small quiet office and I do not want something too loud. Is it possible to compare decibels or is there are particular type I can find that are quieter?

Answer 1

I've actually had about 5 paper shredders over the years. I've tried Fellowes, Intimus, Dahle, HSM and have finally settled on Destroyit. As far as noise, they are really all about the same - around 60 to 70 decibels, which is about as loud as a normal conversation between two people.



A few small office models include the following

Destroyit 2360cc

Destroyit 2404cc

Destroyit 2501cc

Fellowes c120ci

Fellowes c220ci



Any of these models would work for you.

Answer 2

If you want quiet you need to look at a service.

Answer 3

I would say check with the manufacturer, they should have this information.



DestroyIt makes nice quiet ones and so does Kobra.
