A paper shredder with an 8-sheet capacity refers to a shredder that can handle up to 8 sheets of paper at a time. This means you can insert a stack of 8 sheets, and the shredder will destroy them simultaneously without jamming or slowing down. These shredders are commonly used for home or small office use where moderate shredding needs are common.
Key features to look for in an 8-sheet paper shredder may include:
- Shred type: Cross-cut or micro-cut, which provides different levels of security by cutting documents into smaller pieces.
- Shred speed: How quickly the shredder can process paper.
- Continuous run time: How long the shredder can run before it needs to cool down.
- When paper (or another object) touches the cutting head, a sensor activates and the sharp teeth or knives rotate and pull the paper into their jaws until the paper lies pathetically in pieces in the bin.
