4 Stars Compact, a good fit, and environmentally friendly
These bags are a perfect fit for my shredder, a Fellowes model MS-460C. They look like they would fit most shredders of this home-office size. The bag material is thin and milky, see-through color. A hundred of these bags come in a small box 8 inches wide by 6.5 inches deep by 3 inches height… very easy to store in a small space. The bag material looks and feels like the biodegradable bags I use for lawn clippings, so I think it will dissolve in the land fill. Twist ties for closing the full bag before discarding it are included in the box. Now for a philosophical question. While this product was on backorder, I was using white 13 gallon kitchen sized trash bags with a built-in red drawstring to close it when full. Now these bags are taller than necessary, but they still fit the shredder OK, and the drawstring is a whole lot easier and more convenient to use than twist ties. A box of 100 of these trash bags at Costco is priced significantly less. So you should try one of these bags first if you have one around the house, then ask yourself if you really need to buy the special shredder bags.

Fellowes Paper Shredder 8 Sheet with Confetti Cut
Tough FELLOWES POWERSHRED paper shredder engineered for small business office or home use. A persons identity is stolen every six seconds in the U.S. The news media continues to warn . . . protect against increasing identity theft . . . “the fastest growing white color crime in America” (Federal Trade Commission, March 29, 2002 press release). High security confetti cut (5/32″ x 1 3/8″) renders documents and credit cards unreadable. Shreds up to 8 sheets at a time including staples and small paper clips. Convenient pull out bin.

4 Stars Decent Home Shredder
While I can’t confirm the model number, the photo on Amazon looks identical to my Fellowes DM8C crosscut shredder. I paid about $[...] for mine at Costco over 1 year ago, I’ve been using it regularly. I treat it well (no overfeeding)and keep the cutters clear of accumulated waste in the bin.
So far so good. No significant problems to speak of and the unit works as advertised with paper and credit cards. My only complaint is that the crosscut could be shorter. It has a decent sized waste bin, but the longish pieces stack up in the bin quickly. I smash the bits down by hand to keep the mound out of the cutter blades, but shorter confetti pieces would not pile up so quickly. If I ever buy another one I’ll probably get one that makes smaller pieces and eats cd’s as well.
