I have an MS7Cs shredder. I'm trying to determine which gallon-size bag to use. Or any other way to determine the proper size to buy.

Ihave a Felllowes Powershreadder DS-1. The bin is 4.75 gallons. These bags fits well. But unfortunately, the box nor the bag gives you any sizing information.

I used a regular 13 gallon kitchen trash bag in mine with no problems. It is a bit larger but I don't have any issues with it getting caught when I pull the drawer out.

I use Sunbeams TrashRac 5 gallon bags. The bags fit great and stay put while in the can.

They have their own custom bags which are the best fit. You can use a 13 gallon or higher though.

We have been using trash compactor bags. They are thicker and work great, except you have to position them with a little more finesse. But, it's worth the effort. We put our shreddings out with the regular recycling pickup.

We use the "Hefty" 33 GAL trash liner bags with cinch tops. Those 33 GAL liners require a slight stretch so they have good purchase around the top of the model Rubbermaid Commercial FG263200GRAY BRUTE Heavy-Duty Round Waste/Utility Container, 32-gallon, Gray Rubbermaid Commercial FG263200GR... I hope it helps. Bill

No, a standard paper grocery bag will not fit or work. Although, you may be able to try recycling a standard plastic grocery bag. My thought is, since simplehuman sells a custom plastic bag that "fits perfectly" with the 2.6 gal can, using their bags is preferred. The smallest conventional consumer trash bag is 4 gal.The beauty of the can is the lid will hide the excess material.

A tall kitchen trash bag (13 gallon) fits perfect. And yes, you can get the one with a draw string, actually this is the one that I use.

I agree with the last two responses. Bigger is better for covers, so go with the overhang. And, I would, and will, find a better reviewed product since my cover started shredding after one winter/spring use.

The size answer is correct, in my judgement. I am very pleased with this shredder. It shreds credit cards very well, as well as all the standard items to be shredded. I do not remember having to wait long for shipment.

I use a 13 gal. kitchen bag to collect my shredded paper I can empty the shredder 4x to fill it up. So it holds about 3+ gal. This is a good shredder I am so happy with it and the price was great I know you can spend a lot more and get less shredder. The shreddings are tiny no chance of anyone putting that back together. For what it is worth I would buy it again in a heart beat. and pat myself on the back for it again. I did good

I use 30 gallon trash bags. I fold the bag over the edge and put the lid over the folded edges. It works great and holds a lot!

I used either a 10 pound bag or 16 can't remember which one but it uses quite a bit. It makes a gallon though so the return is also quite large. I haven't tried it yet but 1 gallon was a little too much, so I'm going to try next time cutting everything in half.

I have the 7" diameter by 8 5/8" high (1.3 gallon). Using Norpro 50-6 liter degradable compost bags, I get more than a gallon in-at least 5 quarts worth.

The product is listed with the following dimensions: 13 x 12 x 14.4 inches ; 24.4 pounds. I don't think you could line it with a plastic grocery bag because it might get caught in the shredder. I never really thought of doing that, but I'm not going to try. The bucket doesn't hold a ton anyways so you will likely have to empty it sooner than you'd think without it overflowing. It also depends on how much shredding you have to do at once.

We use tall kitchen trash bags from Sam's Club. I think they're 13 gal size. We don't use a bag for the recycling side because we have to sort our recycling. I hope that's helpful. I really love this trash can/recycle combo!

Be aware that the 2 disks that come with the Handy Prep are much smaller than those that come with the larger processors. I'm not at all sure that the little Handy Prep disks would fit this holder, even though Amazon suggests buying them together. There are only 2 disks -the shredder and the slicer. The cutting blade is the one I use 95% of the time, and it stores in the processor. Finally, the other attachment, which shoots shredded stuff out of the processor and into a bowl of your choice, is large enough that it certainly won't fit into a disk holder. Bottom line: I would not recommend the additional expense of the disk holder. A plastic zip-lock bag would work just fine (at least, it does for me :) Be aware that the 2 disks that come with the Handy Prep are much smaller than those that come with the larger processors.
