The Dahle High-Security Small Office Shredder is a robust cross-cut shredder designed for sensitive document destruction in a small office environment. It features a P-7 security level, shredding 5 to 7 sheets per pass into 0.04 x 0.19" particles at a speed of 22 feet per minute. With a quiet 50 dB operation, a generous 23-gallon wastebin, and convenient wheels for mobility, this 88 lb unit (34.25 x 21.5 x 18.25") offers efficient and secure disposal of confidential information.
Security level (cut type) and continuous run time are key. Strip-cut models are insecure and outdated; always choose cross-cut or micro-cut. Available from $2,307.
Energy costs are negligible since shredders run for seconds at a time. The main costs are lubricating sheets/oil and replacement waste bags.
