Review on πŸ—‘οΈ Fellowes Powershred Shredder Bags - Pack of 100 Bags & Ties for Personal Models (36052) by Trent Kraft

Revainrating 2 out of 5

I thought they were the same Fellowes bags that came with the MS-460ci

After months of looking for a decent shredder I bought a Fellowes Crosscut (do you think it was SB-99?) by Revane. Revain said it would take 2-3 weeks and after waiting about a month and a half they said they couldn't get me the device. Did some more research and finally ordered an MS-460ci from Staples. What a grinder! The bags that came with the machine were nice and thick and fit nicely in the mill's wastebasket and had plenty of room. After running out of samples I bought this item from Revain thinking it would be the same. I read the reviews right after the purchase and found that most complained about the quality. I really had no idea it would be that bad. As soon as I opened the packaging, I noticed that the bags were laced up (or glued) at the bottom, shorter than the original sample bags and totally thin. Dragging the bag over the trash can was a chore. I had to stretch the bag a bit and it barely fits. Then I encountered a problem. The bin open warning light came on because the bag was causing the bin to not fully close. After inserting the recycle bin into the device, it came out two more times after that. I pushed it in with a lot of force (not so hard that the block breaks. It's expensive :>) The force must have stretched the bag a bit more and now it stays closed. After that I have no more problems. When I change bags, I stretch them out a little more than usual to fit in the bin with enough room. This allows the trash can to close and close on the block itself. I would give 5 stars if this case was the same model as the case that came with the device but the quality is very poor as I explained above. ADVANTAGES: + Fellowes brand. (it's an OEM after all) + They do the job (although they're not the same as the ones that come with the machine) CONS: - Poor quality - Extremely thin and short - Not suitable for a shredder (at least for my model ) - Bad reputation for Fellowes (although their shredders are amazing). I hope Fellowes listens to their customers and changes these packages to the ones that come with the device. If so, then I will definitely buy them with great pleasure.

Pros
  • Garbage, Compost and Lawn Bags
Cons
  • Something different
