MÜHLEN Zähen 260M — Mini Micro-Cut Paper Shredder for the Desktop
Who Is It For?
The MÜHLEN Zähen 260M is a mini micro-cut paper shredder designed for individual desktop use in home offices, by single users and in small workspaces. It is just 302 mm wide and 150 mm deep, weighs 3.8 kg and can be used horizontally or vertically, so it slips onto narrow desks or between shelves. Operating below 62 decibels, about the sound of turning book pages, it does not disturb a shared or quiet office, and because it also takes credit cards it helps users protect their personal data.
Key Features and What They Do
- DIN P5 micro cut (2×10 mm): Shredded documents cannot be read, reassembled or deciphered, thanks to hardened steel blades.
- 3 sheets per pass: 18-20 sheets per minute at 180 cm per minute, with continuous shredding for 5 minutes.
- Small clips and staples tolerated: Small paper clips and staples do not affect it; large clips, binder clips and CDs should stay out.
- 3.5-liter pull-out drawer: Easy to empty, and if the drawer is removed, the machine stops immediately and shows an LED warning.
- Functional slide button: One control for auto shred, off, reverse and undo, with LED alerts for jams, overloading, an open drawer and overheating.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Zähen 260M shred credit cards?
Yes. Besides paper, it shreds credit cards; CDs, large paper clips and binder clips should not be fed into it.
Will an A4 sheet fit without folding?
Yes. The document feed opening is 220mm wide.
What happens if the motor overheats?
The motor is stopped automatically and an LED warns you, so let the shredder rest before continuing.
What warranty is provided?

Usage and Care Tips
Stick to 3 sheets per pass, as overfeeding can cause jams; if paper does get stuck, use the reverse function on the slide button. Empty the drawer when the LED warns you and push it fully back in, otherwise the safety system will keep the motor stopped. During longer sessions keep the 5-minute non-stop limit in mind. Whether you use it upright or lying flat, place it on a firm and level surface.
