Use a Kitchen Garbage Bag October 27, 2008 I have the DM17CS and I use a standard plastic kitchen garbage bag. I streach the top of the bag around the interior rim of the unit and there is nothing haning outside the shredder.
It Does The Job, But Pricey October 18, 2008 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.
Good, But Overpriced July 21, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
We use these plastic bags with the Fellowes Powershred PS-77Cs shredder. Using some of type of bag with this shredder is a virtual necessity. Without a bag, a complete mess occurs in the process of emptying the bin. These bags do a suitable job of collecting the shredded paper.
The bags fit comfortably in the shredder, although the top hangs over the front of the bin and is visible. They do seem to be overpriced, considering that they are made of flimsy plastic. I imagine someone could fabricate a suitable substitute bag for less money. But since the cost is 25 cents per bag and a bag lasts us for several weeks, it really does not seem to be worth the time and effort to find a substitute.
I think I'll try tall kitchen bags... June 23, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
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.
I like this bag it didn't sag! May 24, 2008 1 out of 6 found this review helpful
