Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Fellowes PowershredŽ Shredder Bags for All Personal Models, 100 Bags & Ties/Carton (36052)
Customer Review: what's not to like?
Summary: 4 Stars
They fit the shredder, and it's really great to not have to empty the basket by turning it upside down, then pulling off all the little bits of cofetti that stuck.
It would be nice if the bags fit more snugly -- the top kind of hangs out of the basket, and doesn't look all that neat -- but they are cheap plastic bags, after all.
Customer Review: A Plastic Bag is a Plastic Bag
Summary: 4 Stars
The bags are fine, although getting them (and the ties) out of the box is not a simple process. I sure wish they had an elastic collar or means to tie them to or around the container so that debris does not spill out if the bag is not fitted just so.Customer Review: Ugly Fellowes Plastic Bags
Summary: 3 Stars
These comes in a box of 100 small plastic bags in two rolls of 50 bags per roll. The bags are similiar in size to ones you can purchase in a grocery store or Lowes or Home Depot. They are hooked together with a perforation between the bags and are easily pulled apart. I purchased these bags at the same time as the shredder because I did not know if they were actually needed to catch the shreddings. They aren't. The bags are placed over the removable shredder bin and when the bin is pushed back into place you are left with a view of an ugly plastic bag. For office use the view is not a significant factor but if using at home in a location that is highly visible it may be worth considering the shredder use w/o the ugly bags on display. You really don't need any bags.
You can get 100 of these ugly Fellowes bags for $25.96. Or, you can get 100 Glad bags of similiar size at Lowes for one half that amount. The main difference is that the Fellowes bags come packed with a supply of ties whereas the Glad bags have the ties built in, far more convenient and the bags are significantly less ugly. I give the Fellowes bags three stars for two main reasons. First, because they are ugly to begin with but also imprinted with black typeface in numerous languages which is an additional major contributor to their ugliness. Second, the price is outrageous and totally unwarranted.
Customer Review: It Does The Job, But Pricey
Summary: 3 Stars
Hard to review essentially trash bags. These bags are not particularly cheap but it does the job. I tried using ordinary trash bags but the shredder kept indicating that the door was not closed. These shredder bags are really thin and I don't have that problem. Although the bags are thin they are pretty strong. I have yet to puncture one of them. I could go without using bags at all, but the bags are more convenient and are not as messy as dumping the basket contents into another bag. Fortunately I do not have to empty the bags often. I am still looking for a more inexpensive alternative.Customer Review: Disappointing bags
Summary: 3 Stars
It would be nice to have the bags a little longer for easier closing to filled to the max. The shredder container can hold more than the bags and it should be the opposite. I will be moving to regular clear garbage bags when these are gone or before.
