Paper shredders with 6-sheet capacity

Compact shredding for personal spaces

When space is tight, a massive bin is more of a hurdle than a help. These 6-sheet capacity shredders are built for the corner of a desk or a small shelf. They are the right size for a household that only needs to destroy a few pieces of mail or a bank statement every couple of days.

This set includes several portable options. Some designs are even sold without a basket, featuring extendable arms that allow the shredder to sit on top of any wastepaper bin you already have in your room. This makes them easy to tuck away in a drawer when they are not in use.
