Customer Review: It's In The Bag
Summary: 3 Stars
You absolutely need waste bags with a fine cut power shred machine. However, these are an expensive alternative to reasonably priced tall kitchen bags which are next to nothing on sale. Pass on these. zozCustomer Review: I think I'll try tall kitchen bags...
Summary: 3 Stars
Fits the bin of my Fellowes shredder nicely so minimizes loose chads, but way too expensive for 100 plastic bags. these should definitely be made only from recycled plastics, I think.Customer Review: They do the job
Summary: 3 Stars
I don't see why regular wastebags can't be used, but these do the job okay.Customer Review: Thought it was the same Fellowes bags as supplied with the MS-460ci
Summary: 2 Stars
After months of searching for a decent shredder, I purchased the Fellowes Crosscut (I think it was the SB-99?)from Amazon. Amazon said it would take 2-3 weeks and after waiting for about 1 month and a half, they said they couldn't secure a unit for me. Did some more research and ended up ordering a MS-460ci from Staples. What a shredder! The bags that came with the unit were nice and thick and it fit over the shredder waste basket nicely and with ample room.
After I ran out of the samples, I purchased this item from Amazon thinking it would be the same. I read the reviews right after purchasing and noticed that most complained about the quality. I really had no idea it would be this bad. As soon as I opened the package, I noticed that the bags were tied (or stuck together) on the bottom, shorter than the original sample bags and it was downright thin. Pulling the bag over the waste basket was a chore. I had to stretch the bag a little and it fits barely. Then I ran in to a problem. The waste basket open warning light came on as the bag forced the basket to not close all the way.
After shoving the waste basket in to the unit, it still came out twice more after that. I jammed it in with more force (not so much to break the unit... it is expensive :>) The force must have stretched the bag a little more and now it stays shut. I have no more issues afterward. Whenever I change bags, I stretch it a little more than normal so that it fits the basket with ample room. This allows the waste basket to close and shut in to the unit itself. I would give 5 stars if this bag was the same exact model as the one supplied with the unit, but the quality is very bad as I explained above.
PROS:
+Fellowes Brand. (it is OEM after all)
+They do the job (even though they are not like the ones shipped with unit)
CONS:
-Bad quality
-Extremely thin and short
-Does not fit the shredder right (well my model at least)
-Gives Fellowes a bad name (their shredders are amazing though)
Hopefully Fellowes listens to their customers and changes these bags to the ones that they supply with the unit. If so, then I will definitely buy those in a heart beat.
Customer Review: These bags are not so good.
Summary: 2 Stars
The bags that came with the shredder were perfect.
These replacement bags fit but are smaller and lighter
weight.
Tall kitchen size garbage bags work well as a substitute
and are more easily tied closed.
