Hoover Microfiltration Vacuum Bags Type Z (4010100Z) 3 pack

Good seller, but only thing is that the bags are not EXACTLY as pictured. They fit the vacuum and are good, but arent from hoover.

We purchased these bags for the first time in May 2001. I installed a bag and thought it worked OK. (I did not throw the former bags, not Hoover bags, out.) The next time the bag needed changing the lady who cleans the house (unbeknown to us) installed the bag we had been using previously. My wife who is very sensitive to house dust recognized the difference. After a very short time my wife said she could smell the dust when the vacuum cleaner was in use. I changed the bag in our vacuum back to a Hoover bag and the probem was cured. While not very scientific, it convinced us. I have thrown the other bags away. Additional Comment: Because of the small particles that are trapped in the bag, I take the vacuum outside to remove the filled bag. This prevents these particles from escaping back into the air in the house.

Works as expected.

My local retailer only carries a knock-off line of vacuum cleaner bags and they were horrible. In this case, buying the name-brand product is best. Thank you Hoover, for exercising quality-control standards in your manufacturing!

Good product

This item is advertised as HOOVER BRAND Type Z Allergen Filtration Bags. I know this because I can see the name and photo match what I have purchased in the past. What I received, from B&M Housewares, was an off-brand called DVC. My biggest problem with these DVC bags, although they are Type Z fit, is that they do NOT have Allergen Filtration. This is either FALSE ADVERTISING or BAIT AND SWITCH, as the price was a little too good from what I have seen for sale elsewhere. It is hard to tell when ordering what you will actually get, but it should match the description and photo. This is not the first time that I have received an item via Amazon that is not exactly what is advertised. I am getting a little tired of returning items that are either wrong, used (when should be new), or defective. ======= UPDATE Shortly after posting this review, I found a note in the packaging with the DVC vacuum bags. It was a note from B&M Housewares asking that if there was a problem with the order to contact them and not to post a negative review. Unfortunately, I did not see that note until after I posted the above review. I apologize to B&M Housewares for not seeing that before my posting. However, I am not sure that I have ever seen such a note in any other order that I have ordered through Amazon.com, and I have ordered a lot of stuff through Amazon.com. I now wonder if this has been a problem in the past, not getting the order correct? A little odd. Now, I must say that after submitting for a return/exchange, I was notified by Amazon that the seller was refunding my cost, but not requesting the item to be returned. I did find that to be the case. My cost was refunded. That was very nice of them to do that. However, I would have preferred to exchange the item for what I originally ordered. That was not an option offered to me. I really wanted allergen filtration. I hope these bags hold up. ======= UPDATE # 2 I have not been able to completely get this incident off my mind. So I checked the sellers ratings. Apparently they are doing a lot of business through Amazon. After reading just 1 week of ratings by customers, which was quite a bit, I did see a lot of comments that the seller is delivering products that are not what is advertised or in the photo. So it was not just 1 mistake that I encountered. It is happening regularly with this seller. However, there were a lot of good ratings too. BUYER BEWARE.

Not the heavy, thick ones that I expected. These are regular thickness.

fit perfect

Worked well, good price.

Excellent price!
