LEITZ IQ HOME OFFICE Document Shredder – A Quiet and Secure Solution for Your Home Office

Type: Cross-cut shredder
Security Level: DIN P-4

In today's world, personal data protection and confidentiality are priorities even when working from home. The LEITZ IQ HOME OFFICE document shredder is designed for those seeking a balance between stylish design, high security, and peace in their working environment.

1. Uncompromising Security and Performance

This shredder uses cross-cutting, turning a single A4 sheet into 4 x 28 mm fragments. Meeting P-4 security standards, it ensures that your bank statements, contracts, or other private documents become unreadable.

• Performance: Shreds up to 10 sheets (80 g/m2) at a time, ensuring a smooth workflow.
• Versatility: The shredder easily handles staples and paper clips, so you won't waste time removing them before starting.

2. Quiet Operation and Anti-Jam Technology

Most shredders disrupt focus due to high noise levels, but the LEITZ IQ features a noise level of only 58 dB. This is quieter than a normal conversation, making the device ideal for use in small spaces or home offices.

Furthermore, the device integrates paper jam protection – if too many sheets are inserted, the mechanism automatically stops and reverses the paper, protecting the motor from overheating.

3. Capacity and Ergonomic Design

The white, sleek body color fits perfectly into modern interiors. The device features a 23-liter waste bin, holding up to 225 shredded sheets. This means you'll empty the bin less often, and you can always see the fill level through the transparent window.
