This review is from: Fellowes Powershred® Shredder Bags for All Personal Models, 100 Bags & Ties/Carton (36052) (Office Product)

I agree with most other reviewers of this product. These bags are vastly *inferior* to the bags which ship with the shredder. I also contacted Fellowes, and they said that the bags which ship with the unit are unavailable for purchase. These inferior bags are the only bags they sell. This is unfortunate, because the shredder is first quality, and the are blemishing the Fellowes brand by selling inferior bags.

I should have read the reviews before I purchased these bags, as I would have looked elsewhere. I was told by Fellowes that the # 36053 (not sold by Amazon) bags are slightly thicker and larger but still not nearly as good as the bags which ship with the unit.

Overall I am disappointed in the response of Fellowes. In this difficult economy one would hope they would be interested in both (a) earning more money and (b) responding to customer complaints by selling a better product.

I have a Fellows SB-97Cs and use tall kitchen bags. They are more durable but do require a bit more care during installation.

1.0 out of 5 stars Just use cheap office wastebasket liners, April 10, 2010

There's absolutely no reason to pay $27 for 100 bags, when you can just use the cheap clear plastic office wastebasket liners (7 to 10 gallon) that sell for $18 for *500* at Costco, Sam's Club, etc. I just finished a major shredding job with my Fellowes DMC12, and used many of those.
