Use a tall kitchen bag instead
(1 out of 5) by Randle T. Bain on Dec 31, 2008 (Waller, Texas USA)I have a Fellows SB-97Cs and use tall kitchen bags. They are more durable but do require a bit more care during installation.

what's not to like?
(4 out of 5) by Andrew Barss on Sep 1, 2007 (Tucson, AZ USA)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.

They do the job
(3 out of 5) by M. Hegeman on May 14, 2007 (New York State)I don't see why regular wastebags can't be used, but these do the job okay.

Poor quality, extremely thin, small bags.
(1 out of 5) by James C. Megas on Feb 16, 2009 (St. Paul, MN USA)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.
