The Dahle MHP Oil-Free Shredder is a robust cross-cut shredder designed for efficient document destruction. It features a 10.25" feed width and can shred 16 to 18 sheets per pass at a speed of 20 feet per minute, producing P-4 security level shreds of 1.56 x 0.125 inches. With a quiet 46 dB operation and a generous 23-gallon wastebin capacity, this shredder is suitable for securely disposing of paper, credit cards, CDs, DVDs, staples, and paper clips in busy office environments.
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 Strip-cut models are insecure and outdated; always choose cross-cut or micro-cut.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 $1,257.
Energy costs are negligible since shredders run for seconds at a time. The main costs are lubricating sheets/oil and replacement waste bags.
