If you have had this or model 12C for more than a year, how has it held up?

This shredder is the best one I've had. It's quiet, efficient, and well designed. I'd buy it again ... I bought it on 4/11/21. My previous Fellowes shredder last 10 years and the only reason it's gone is that I did not lube it as instructed then. I learned my lesson ... I lube this one as instructed in the manual. Having a shredder on wheels really helps to keep it out of the way when not in use

Can you put a trash bag in this?

A small trash bag can be placed into the bin as a liner, however, there is a narrow window that allows you to see how full the bin is. 8f you line the bin with a bag, you wouldn't be able to see the fullness of the bin without opening it. It is super easy to just pull the bin out and dump into a trash bag. I would not try to shred a trash bag, full or empty as I'm not sure how the material will shred or if it will just stretch and heat and melt and ruin the shredding tines.

Is lubricant needed and it is Fellowes 35250?

I used my previous cheapie Staples shredder for 15 years without lubricating it even once. It started giving me problems only after 13 years so I’m a little skeptical. Nevertheless, I do have some beard oil that I don’t use anymore so will give it an occasional shot.
