Document Shredder Prices 2026: DIN P4-P5 Models
Document shredder prices 2026: current prices of DIN P4 and P5 models, cut types, sheet capacity, the factors that set the price and recommendations by budget.
Document shredder prices range from a compact home office model at TRY 1,800 to a corporate machine with DIN P5 micro cut at TRY 7,000. The most critical factor setting the price is the DIN 66399 security class, which states how small the document is cut. In this guide we have listed the Mühlen models with their current prices, explained the factors that determine the price and set out which model suits which budget.

6 Factors That Set the Price
- DIN 66399 security class: the most decisive factor. P4 (cross/confetti cut) is the common minimum level for documents containing personal data, while P5 (micro cut) is recommended for sensitive data and costs more.
- Cut type: strip cut is the most economical but least secure method; cross (confetti) and micro cut raise both security and price.
- Sheet capacity: there is a difference in motor power and price between a model that shreds 3 sheets at a time and one that shreds 12.
- Continuous run time: compact models that run for 4 minutes and models that run 2–5 minutes non-stop before switching to automatic cooling are positioned for different usage intensities.
- Waste bin capacity: the price rises from a 3-litre drawer towards bins of 15 litres and above; a large bin reduces how often it must be emptied.
- Extra slots and hardware: a separate slot for media such as CD/DVD, a castor-mounted body and automatic protection systems are reflected in the cost.
In short: choosing the model that matches your usage intensity and needs — not the cheapest one — is more economical in the long run.

The compact Mühlen Mini 308 DC starts at TRY 1,800 and suits home office and personal use.
