This shredder can handle up to 18 sheets of paper at once, that's three times more than most of the alternatives. It takes as little as 5 seconds to dispose of one A4 page.

This shredder can run for as long as 40 minutes before it requires a cooldown, way longer than most competitors. It also needs shorter breaks to work properly - 30 minutes compared to 40-45 minutes that other shredders require.

While running, this shredder creates about 60 dB of noise. That's 2-4 times more quiet than most alternatives.

You don't have to worry about putting cardboard, CDs, DVDs, junk mail, IDs, and credit cards into the shredder. It can easily power through large paper clips and staples.

Despite this 38-pound shredder being on the heavier side, it's easy to move around thanks to the detachable wheels that come along with it.

Unlike most shredders that need you to oil regularly, the Royal doesn’t require any lubricating. In fact, doing so will void your warranty.

If paper gets jammed inside the shredder, reverse mode kicks in automatically and the issue is resolved without any intervention on your side.

In auto mode, this machine will automatically start shredding once it detects that you inserted paper and turn off once the job is done.

Maximum bin capacity of this shredder is 8.5 gallons, that's twice as much as most competitors. You won't have to take it to the trash very often.
