Paper Shredder PS609

Identity theft is a major concern, both online and offline, with an ever-growing number of UK consumers becoming a victim of identity fraud at some time in their lives. If a thief obtains your personal details they can open bank accounts, take out credit cards, apply for loans, apply for state benefits, order online, make in-store purchases, take out mobile phone contracts and even apply for identity documents such as a passport or drivers licence in your name.

Don’t allow this to happen. Take action now and protect yourself and your loved ones from identity theft by ensuring all of your bills, letters - anything with your personal details on - gets shredded properly before being thrown away.

Ripping paper up isn’t good enough as it is easy for a thief to put the pieces back together again, but shredding the documents with the PS609 shredder will cut them into tiny 10x4mm pieces.

The Duronic PS609 automatic paper shredder is ideal if you have large amounts of paper to shred. It can shred paper in two ways: manually 6-9 sheets can be fed into the front slot and the automatic blades will shred the paper. This front slot can also shred one bank card at a time.

Alternatively, this electric shredder also has an automatic paper tray in which you can place up to 100 sheets of paper; simply insert the pile of paper switch it on and the machine will then automatically feed itself, shredding away until the pile has gone. This way is ideal if you don't have the time to stand and feed the machine yourself bit-by-bit.

If you need a shredder with even greater shredding capacity see our other model PS991 which can shred up to 18 sheets at a time. Or for a more portable model, see our mini desk shredder PS391.

Things to Consider When Choosing a Shredder

It is important that you get the right shredder to suit your needs. There are several important factors that you should consider before purchasing one:

Purpose
Do you need it for home, a small office or a larger office?

Security
How high security do you need it? Choose from cross-cut for general shredding or micro-cut slicing up sensitive documents.

Usage
How often will you be using it? Do you want or need a larger bin to hold more and not need to empty as often?

Capability
How much paper do you want to be able to shred in one go?

Location
Where do you want to place it? On a table? Under it? On the floor standing proud in the middle of an office, or in a tight cover in a small space.
