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

I had some difficulty finding replacement bags for my hoover vacuum cleaner. With the supply chain problems currently going on none of the local stores had the correct product in stock. We just had some work done in our home and had a lot of dust so we needed the vacuum bags “NOW”. Luckily Amazon was quick to deliver. These bags work just as well as the higher priced “name” brands. Glad we found them. Definitely recommend.

I bought a package of these Envirocare Type Y bags and an identical package of the genuine Hoover Type Y. They are to go in a brand new Hoover upright, which only had a three-pack of Hoover bags in it. Since no one sells the genuine article in retail any more, I ordered from amazon.com, my favorite retailer online. The bags came in the same box - great for comparison. After using both, here are the differences. The Envirocare bag is the same weight of paper filter, same exact dimension, with a sturdier attachment cardboard to fit onto the vacuums fill tube. It is, however, for reasons I cannot completely understand, harder to attach to the tube. I think the cardboard is just cut with zero tolerance and the Hoover ones are more loose. Not precisely the air-tight seal youd want - so the Envirocare bag beats Hoover on that score. The Envirocare Y bag has deeper pleats so when it inflates it fills a larger space in the vacuum chamber than the Hoover Y. Some vacs use a type Y but still have very small chamber. If that is yours, you might prefer the Hoover at about 3 times the cost, for the sake of breathing that the machine needs to do. It is after all, a device to move air through a filter. If your vacuum will hold more, and has vent holes on the front like this Hoover I have, the larger bag poses no problem whatsoever, and takes longer to fill and/or stop up. When using the larger Envirocare Y bag, stuff is immediately sucked in and down to the bottom of it. Recently had an accidental pick-up of something I did not want to lose. In the smaller Hoover bags, the dust and dog hair seem to pack in from the bottom up, and anything new is deposited on top of the pile. The large bags seem to create more even distribution of detritus inside, which, while a weird thing to care about, really saved the day when trying to find a tiny earring in that mess. Opened the bag with scissors and found the earring, neat except for some dust, at the tippy end of the vac bag. Im going with Envirocare from now on. I see some reviewers have complained that they ordered these and got some knock-off brand. Mine are Envirocare and I wont bother paying more for genuine brand name of Hoover again.

I love these bags. Ive bought the Hoover type-Y bags and compared them to these bags--these work just as well, are less expensive, and they are very easy (i.e., always available on Amazon with 2-day shipping) to buy. I like buying them in bulk because I cannot handle the idea of an emergency trip to Walmart on a Sunday afternoon just to buy two overpriced, silly vacuum bags. They fit the Hoover Upright Windtunnel Pet vacuum perfectly.

Very please with product and quantity for the price.

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.

They are Vacuum Cleaner Bags (the dirt stays in the bag so their good) :-D

These bags are great and worked perfect for my Hoover WindTunnel Vacuum (Type Y bag type). The package I received was ** EnviroCare ** . These are excellent bags that look and feel almost exactly like the Hoover bags I was previously using. The only difference is that EnviroCare bags have a seal that can be used once the bag is full to prevent the dust from leaking out during transport to the garbage. The bags themselves performed pretty much the same as the previous bags I had. However, I did notice the Envirocare bags seem just a little bit smaller than the standard Hoover bags (about 0.5 in less length when comparing them unused). While this translates to the bag filling up a little faster than your standard Hoover bag, odds are you are paying much less per bag than using the name brand. OVERALL, the Envirocare bags are exceptional and make a great Generic Alternative to the standard Hoover bags. They work as advertised and will end up saving you some money in the end, while helping to keep your house clean. **NOTE: Make sure you get Envirocare brand when you purchase. As other reviews have pointed out it seems a variety of generics are floating around amongst the venders. You want the Envirocare bags as they pretty much look and FEEL like the Hoover Bags I got with my Vacuum. Some of the cheaper generics out there will not hold up nearly as well, and are often thinner which could lead to the bag bursting.

The OEM (Hoover brand) bags seem like theyre better than these (bit better suction), but these cost MUCH less. You may have to change bags more frequently than you would with the OEM bags. I use these in a Hoover Windtunnel Limited that I got from BJs over 11 years ago. This vac is still going strong... no real desire or need to go with a bagless vac yet. I havent done any maintenance to this vac other than to change the bag when the dirt goes above the line printed on the bag and maybe clean the filter once or twice. Sometimes Ill change the bag when the dirt is a bit below the line.

I have used these for my Hoover vacuum for years. Much less expensive and great products.

Great value for money. Takes tiny bit of finesse to get on as cardboard hole tight, but is great fit once in.
