Known as the strongest shredder brand, Van Ross is the world's largest shredder supplier, with a market share of more than 65% in North America for a long time. Before the 90s, the U.S. shredder market has been contracted by German manufacturers, the product price is more than 6000 US dollars, Van Roes launched the world's first personal shredder in 1990, the price is only 69.99 US dollars, completely reversed the shredder industry pattern. Since then, Van Rooss has gradually dominated the high-end shredder market, and its products have been repeatedly named the best shredder of the year by websites and magazines such as Wirecutter and TechGearlab.
 
Van Ross has a number of subsidiaries around the world, and in 2005 began to explore the Chinese market, and successively built the brand's third largest R&D base and largest production base. Choosing to take root in China, which has huge market potential, shows the foresight of Van Roth, but the pricing of 1,000 yuan to 10,000 yuan is obviously not adaptable, Van Roth's private sales are small, and the first flagship store was settled in Qingdao in 2018.
 
For users of "efficiency is life", whether the shredder is easy to use or not, the most intuitive feeling is the speed of paper shredding. The overall shredding speed of the Van Roos shredder is quite outstanding, with an average speed of more than 3.6m/min, and its high-throughput shredder 485CI has reached 4.3m/min, which is one of the best in the industry.
 
High efficiency also needs to be paired with a smooth shredding experience. Except for Van Roos, all brands on the market have anti-jam functions that refer to the retractable paper after a paper jam, including one-key retract and more intelligent induction unwinding, but none of them can be called "anti-free". On the premise that the paper feed is not excessive, the angle of the blade can be automatically adjusted according to the thickness of the paper, which fundamentally prevents paper jams. There is also a smart indicator light that lights up when the paper is fed excessively, and the whole shredding process is intuitive, smooth, and has an excellent experience.
 
Van Rooss shredders also add to the operating experience with patented SilentShred technology and safesense technology. SilentShred technology reduces noise to a low hum that is slightly louder at the beginning of the day, but gets smaller as it gets run-in. The Safety Touch stops the machine immediately when a foreign object is detected, making it safer than other brands' setups that simply narrow the inlet to prevent foreign objects from entering. At present, only the high-end products of Kemi and Miki have applied the safety stop technology, and Van Ross has achieved coverage in commercial office models.
 
Due to the high work intensity, the shredder has the highest failure rate in office equipment, especially the knife set and transmission parts, and the warranty commitment of the shredder has become an important epitome of brand strength and self-confidence. Van Rooss first lubricated the all-steel cutter heads with automatic lubrication technology, which effectively extended the life of the cutter set and was much easier to operate than manual lubrication of other brands. Most of the products provide a 5-year warranty for the cutter head, far exceeding the 1-year period of other brands, and the cutter head of the large shredder is promised a 10-year warranty, and the warranty period of the whole machine is also 1 or 2 years, which is the most daring brand in the current warranty commitment.
 
Van Ross has a complete product line, including household models within 500 yuan such as P-35C, as well as medium and high-end products such as large paper shredders, commercial office shredders and high-security shredders.
 
In terms of the most mainstream commercial office shredders in the current market, the 79CI and 73CI have been widely praised as the most balanced products in Van Roos, and have frequently appeared in the recommendations of the best shredders of the year such as pcmag and bestreviews. These two products can put 14 sheets of paper at a time, and the average shredding speed is 3.2m/min, which is the highest efficiency among 1,000 yuan commercial shredders. The 3.9mm×38mm segment shredding effect has also reached the confidentiality level 4, which meets the crushing requirements of contracts and tax documents, and is more suitable for medium and large office procurement. Among the two models, the 79CI can work continuously for 20 minutes, but the noise performance of 65dB is not as good as the 56dB of the 73CI, and the price of 1300 yuan is 100 yuan cheaper than that of 73CI.
 
The performance of the large shredder is much more powerful than that of the commercial shredder, such as the almost top 485CI, the feeding volume is up to 30 sheets/time, 4.3m/min high-speed crushing, and it can work 24 hours a day, with extremely high efficiency and a price of nearly 30,000 yuan.
 
In fact, when it comes to shredding efficiency, the watershed is not the speed and the amount of paper feeded, but whether it can be fully automated. Unlike conventional shredders that need to be fed manually in batches, Van Roth's C series has an automatic feeding system, which can put 300 and 500 sheets of paper into the paper bin at a time at 300C and 500C respectively, and people can leave after the bin is turned off, and the efficiency is very different from manual paper feeding. Compared with commercial shredders, the price has also risen several times, respectively 16,999 yuan and 28,999 yuan, unless the pursuit of the ultimate work efficiency, otherwise the cost performance is not high.
 
200C is only about 2000 yuan, but the continuous working time is only 12 minutes, which is not as good as 300C and 500C. In addition, there is a risk that the automatic shredder will be stolen after the person leaves, and if the unit has a high level of confidentiality, it needs to be placed under the surveillance camera.
 
Compared with the superior performance of Kemi and Yingmingshi in the confidential shredder, Van Rooss is slightly behind. The shredding effect of its confidential shredder is mostly 2mm×8mm, which only reaches the German standard level 5, and many models of Yingmingshi and Kemi have reached the German standard level 7. Under the current technology, the information destroyed by the German standard level 5 shredder can only be obtained through special equipment or means, which is close to irreversible, and is enough to deal with commercial shredding, unless the document involves state and military secrets.
