What can you say about a vacuum cleaner bag?
I was asked by Amazon to review this product, but I can't think of anything interesting to write. Let's see..I vacuumed, the dust got into the bag, I changed the bag, I put on another bag, and we all lived happily ever after.
I received my package very quickly and in good condition. I might regret admitting this but, under normal conditions, 9 bags would probably last me 9 years, since I hate to clean. But I took in a stray cat one cold night and ended up getting fleas, so I needed to treat my carpet, vacuum every day and discard the bags. According the the "yikes I have fleas" blogs, reuse of a bag might reinfest the carpet if fleas escape. I used the Eureka bags I had leftover from the last century and went shopping for more. The store prices were high, so I was very pleased to find these generic bags online at such a reasonable price, which included shipping charges. Since they worked the way they're supposed to and they fit my old vacuum cleaner as promised, I will...
It's good but ...
I've compared this generic bag with the Eureka OEM bag. Here are what I found:
1) the OEM bag is measured 23"L x 8"D x 6"W whereas the generic bag is measured 21"L x 7"D x 6"W. The "total" volume for the generic bag is, therefore, 20% less than the OEM's. 2) The maximum usable volume as recommended by the dust bag manufacturer for the OEM bag is 15"x8"x6" (there is a maximum line drawn on the bag) whereas for the generic bag it is 13"x7"x6". Therefore, the usable volume for the generic bag is approximately 25% less than the OEM's. 3)The bag materials look similar. 4) The fit of the generic bag to my vacuum cleaner is fine. 5) The price of the generic bag is very good.
Getting Hard to Find In Stores
I've had an old but reliable Eureka upright for years but lately I nave not been able to find the bags in the local stores. Maybe they are phasing out this type of vac so I got the idea to check Amazon and located these bags. In quanity they are less expensive than what I would have paid at the discount store and are high qualty and high filtration so now I'm set for a couple of years. You can't go wrong with these.
