Summary: Which Shredder Should You Choose?

Choose HP OneShred 16MC if you need:

  • Manual shredding of up to 16 A4 sheets at 80 gsm per pass, compared with 10 sheets for the other model.
  • A smaller and lighter unit weighing 18.4 kg instead of 25.6 kg.
  • P-5 security with 2 × 15 mm Micro cut particles.

Choose HP Pro Shredder Auto 400 MC if you need:

  • A larger 53-liter bin compared with 30 liters.
  • A faster 1.8 m/min shredding speed and a lower 60 dB noise level.
  • A shorter 45-minute cooling time, plus bin-open and standby indicators.

HP Pro Shredder Auto 400 MC is the best overall because of its larger bin, faster speed, quieter operation, and additional controls. The 16MC may suit users prioritizing higher manual sheet capacity and a lighter unit.

What Is the Difference Between HP OneShred 16MC Shredder and HP Pro Shredder Auto 400 MC?

Both shredders use Micro cut technology with a DIN 66399 P-5 security level and provide automatic reverse for jam prevention. They also include overheat, overload, and bin-full indicators, along with pull-out bins and castors.

The 16MC leads in manual sheet capacity, handling 16 A4 sheets at 80 gsm per pass compared with 10 sheets, and it is lighter at 18.4 kg. The Auto 400 MC instead offers a 53-liter bin versus 30 liters, a faster 1.8 rather than 1.6 m/min speed, lower noise at 60 rather than 65 dB, and a shorter 45-minute cooling time instead of 50 minutes. It also includes bin-open and standby indicators plus a staple-and-clip removal feature, while the corresponding 16MC values indicate these features are unavailable.

The 16MC may suit users who prioritize higher manual sheet capacity and easier handling. The Auto 400 MC benefits users who need a larger bin, faster and quieter shredding, and more operational controls.
