EnviroCare Replacement Micro Filtration Vacuum Cleaner Dust Bags made to fit Hoover Windtunnel Upright Type Y 9 pack

Original purchase & review: Oct 2011 (when product did not match amazon profile) Misleading. Not EnviroCare nor packaged as implied in photo. Quality felt substandard and flimsy - unlike the robust originals. Came as loose unpackaged items from VacuumSupply. Update: Amazon was 5* about this and made good its guarantee. On 19 January 2012, Amazon revised the product photo from EnviroCare to MicroLined. Now its back to Envirocare - What is happening? Upon initial delivery, I fitted one for a testrun - due to its delicate quality I felt I had to be extra cautious that the bag would not tear. To fit it to the hole, one has to perforate the paper covering the hole reinforcement - this tears easily enough. The hole fitting seemed flimsy and clumsy, however one eventually manages to attach it to the hole after some careful fiddling to ensure the bag does not tear prematurely. Survived first testrun - I shall however update this space to see if it stays in place. An old dust allergy has reemerged briefly (2months now)... but this (in hindsight) is more due to the unmodified hepa final filter which leaked from the sides fr the same delivery batch. Update: In mid January 2012, I had to use another one (2nd) of these bags and did some solid vacuuming for 2.5-3 hours in a day - the bag fitted new, held up well (with a new anti bac deodorizer pouch in place). However, the bag would need regular changing say every month or so as otherwise it could start to stink as mine did with the first. I dont remember the original hoover bag (thicker) emitting any smell when used no matter how long it stayed unchanged. For the price, I would upgrade this to 2.5 to 3 stars. If you are buying from overseas, this may not be worth your trouble as shipping cost is exorbitant. If you are a local buyer, then, you just get what you pay for.

Having a few dogs weve tried different vacuums - and there are a lot that call themselves pet vacuums. We went the bagless route for years but you are constantly emptying the dirt/dust into the garbage... it really does get annoying. We recently looked through reviews for pet cleaning vacuums and decided to go back to a bagged vacuum. Its such a relief to stop having to constantly stop to get rid of the dirt. Not only that, its a big difference on our allergies! Now it takes days of use to fill these bags - However - make sure you are putting the bag in correctly! When we opened the vacuum cleaner the bag was folded in half and we assumed at first that was how this bag was supposed to be. Well, its not! The bag cannot get filled more than halfway like that. There are videos on YouTube for any vacuum you buy that will demonstrate how the bag is supposed to be fitted. Before you assume you are doing it correctly just check!

Paper vacuum bags dont work as good as the cloth one that we had before, but for how we use the vacuum, these work fine and are a good price.

Great

Easy to find the right sweeper bag.

I had a practically new bagless vacuum and found it to be untidy, dusty and really annoying, so I went searching for a powerful bagged vacuum that wasnt going to cost me an arm and a leg. I read the description and reviews on here and decided that this sounded like the one I needed. Most of the reviews said it was extremely powerful and also very noisy. It is both of those things. My dog hates vacuum cleaners and this one is a real pain for her! Lots of noise. But I found the noise worth it because of the power and the bags. Just so you know, most places no longer sell bags for vacuums. I had to order replacements on line. But I got a great deal so I was happy. If you buy this, order a supply of bags to go with it. These bags are great and what a deal!! Im very happy. Id buy another one for sure!

Bags work well. Fast shipping

I hate buying vacumn cleaner bags when they cost over 2 dollars each. I ordered 3 of these 9 bag packs so I would get free shipping over $25. The first bag I used in my Hoover Widepath Tempo did not work well, since I had not fully attached it to the exhaust port. I ended up with most of the dirt outside the bag. Then I did it right on the second bag. It fits very snugly and you can tell when its on right. The bag worked great and the sealing flap on the bag prevented dust coming out when I put the full bag in the trash can. I am very happy with this product. I will definitly buy again.

In the time of coronavirus, it is becoming difficult to get vacuum cleaner bags for those of us who suffer with allergies and depend on these filter bags. I was so glad they had them. They were reasonable priced and came as promised. I am very grateful.

The price was right. It fit fine. And I can keep vacuuming!
