Cheap Shredders
Paper shredders range in price from the cheapest being around $20 all the way up to $10,000+ for the most expensive paper shredders. Here are a list of my favorite cheap paper shredders, first is my favorite, last is still great for the price.
1. Paper Shredder Scissors
While their almost a novelty item, these paper shredder scissors will do exactly what you expect them to do – cut paper into strips. While strip cut paper scissors aren’t exactly the best idea, you can turn the paper and make these paper shredding scissors cut into confetti or a cross cut pretty easily. They will make a mess everywhere so make sure and do it over a trash can.
2. Aurora AS618SB 6 Sheet Strip Cut Paper Shredder
This little shredder is a great addition to any home or home office. While it’s small and compact, it’s meant for small jobs once or twice a day. Don’t plan to use this all day for shredding, and don’t expect to shove all of your mail into it. For around $20 it’s hard to beat the Aurora AS618SB paper shredder. See our review of the bigger (still inexpensive) Aurora AS618SD.
3. Black & Decker CC800 8 Sheet Paper Shredder
This little Black & Decker shredder is one of the most expensive shredders on our list of cheap paper shredders, but it’s features make it a great addition to any home office. The CC800 paper shredder can shred up to 8 sheets, credit cards and staples, and it shreds them in a cross cut. Most of the other shredders on our list are strictly strip cut. Cross cut adds security by making it harder to put your pieces back together. While not impossible, if you’re shredding a full 4 gallon basket full, you’re making it very tough for anyone to steal your identity out of your trash can.
4. Royal CX66 Paper Shredder
If you’re looking for a no-frills paper shredder, the Royal CX66 is for you. It’s a bare bones cross cut shredder. It doesn’t have the biggest basket or the largest motor (6 sheets), but it gets the job done, and it’s reliable. This one is not sold in stores, so you’ll have to buy it online.
