Royal paper shredders are a market standard. The company which makes them, Royal Consumer Information Products, is descended from the Royal Typewriter Company, which was founded in 1906. Their line has expanded to include cash registers, faxes, shredders, postal scales, weather stations, imaging supplies and electronic organizers.
One of Royal's great paper shredders, the Royal 15MX is a high end shredder, intended to be used by small offices. This machine can easily deal with credit cards, paper clips, staples, and even CDs or DVDs. It reduces paper to crosscut strips that are .125" by 1.5" in dimension.
This shredder is able to handle fifteen sheets at once, and its basket can accommodate up to eight gallons of shredded material before it needs to be emptied. This Royal paper shredder weighs in at forty pounds and offers a one year warranty.
Another shredder from Royal, the JS55, is a lower cost shredder meant for home use. It retails at around twenty dollars and is capable of shredding as much as five pages at once. This shredder creates quarter inch crosscut confetti, weigh five pounds, and offers a three gallon receptacle.
It can, however, only be shipped within the United States. This shredder offers a one year warranty, but has received poor reviews from some users due to its low capacity. This shredder should certainly only be used on an occasional basis for destroying papers, not on a daily basis.
If your home needs to shred more often, consider the Royal 85X, a system that retails for around sixty dollars. It can handle ten pages at once and reduces them to smaller pieces than the JS55.
It can deal with credit cards, staples, and other tough items, and also comes with a year's warranty on parts. The trash receptacle is pull out, and fourteen and a half liters – enough to handle most jobs. Be sure not to use this shredder heavily, however. The system can easily become over stressed.
Another home use Royal paper shredder is the 7 Sheet Cross Cut with CD Shred model. This shredder costs around sixty dollars and handles paperclips, staples, and CDs. It shreds to .156" by 1.625" and offers the usual one year warranty on parts. The trash receptacle holds up to four gallons. As this machine weighs fifteen pounds, shipping outside of the US is not available.
Royal's paper shredders meant for home use also include the forty dollar, fourteen pound 8 Sheet Cross Shredder. This machine features an indicator light when there's an error, but tends to run loudly.
One of Royal's older paper shredders, the HT700X features a .125" by 1.5" crosscut, deals with credit cards and staples, and offers a four gallon bin and one year warranty. This shredder weighs ten pounds, and like many others, can only be shipped inside the United States. However, most reviews are poor, so buyers may wish to purchase a newer model.
A small, low cost example of Royal shredders, the JS800 retails at twenty five dollars. It produces fairly large pieces; .25" strips - which could be a problem for people concerned about security. This seven pound model does offer a six gallon trash bin for those who don't like to empty their shredder often.
This machine is only intended to be used occasionally, and must cool down for four minutes after being used for two. Despite this, it gets good reviews from most consumers.
Another lower end machine, the Royal 7 sheet crosscut paper shredder weighs in at fourteen pounds and costs forty dollars. It must also be shipped in the US, or to an APO/FPO address.
It has a feature to turn itself off to avoid overheating, which is useful for those concerned about shredder longevity. However, if you're not familiar with this feature, it can be disconcerting. Some also feel that this shredder is overly top heavy.
Royal's 15 sheet Heavy Duty crosscut shredder can be a great deal. This machine normally runs around three hundred fifty dollars, but can be found online for a hundred and forty. It's a commercial shredder that produces eight inch by one inch confetti, and can handle fifteen pages at once.
This Royal paper shredder also features a slot specifically for destruction of CDs, DVDs and other data disks. The majority of people who buy this paper shredder are happy with their purchase.
Last but not least, Royal offers a 10 Sheet crosscut Paper Shredder, which is a well reviewed mid-level machine. At sixty dollars, it won't break the bank, but has the power to shred discs. This machine produces 1.375" by .16" confetti, can only be shipped within the United States, or to APO/FPO addresses.
