Miele HyClean GN 3D Efficiency XL Dustbags for Bagged Miele Vacuum Cleaners, Blue,Pack of 8, 10455000

Very good

These are the best bags!

Great bang for the buck

If you are going to spring for a Miele vacuum cleaner, you should get their proprietary bags as well. They seem small, but hold a lot. This is a good product.

SOLID-PERFECT

I love Miele products! These bags will hold a lot of debris before theyre full, and they work well.

These replacement bags are better than the regular bag. Great purchase.

The 3M version is a good value, but if you want to keep your Miele in tip-top shape, its best to buy the Miele brand bags. NOTHING escapes the sack to contaminate the bag compartment, and at changing time, the closing flap always works flawlessly. Thats a big plus when you compact your trash, because without that flap, youre liable to squish the bag and unleash its dusty contents. Signed, Learned My Lesson With Cheapo Alternatives

Vacuum Bags for my Meile.

I figured Id spend extra money getting the brand bags, since Id probably get better quality. Ive bought Miele brand before on these. Well, guess what? Theyve changed the way they make them, and now they are cheap crap and worse than the generics. One of the seals on the bag opening was broken off and floating around loose, in a factory sealed box!! I still have one of the old ones, and I can see how Miele changed the design on the flap hinge to make it cheaper and flimsier. If it can break off in the box, I cant imagine that its going to hold up with regular opening and closing as Im vacuuming. Im returning these immediately (unfortunately, I bought 4 boxes of 8) and Im buying the generics instead, which look like they are made better than the brand, at this point. So disappointed. Guess my next vacuum cleaner wont be a Miele. EDIT: Same thing happened again! I ended up not returning them, because I was offered a replacement box. So last week, I went to change the bag and put a new one of these in. As I was putting the bag in the vacuum cleaner, the door broke off that one by itself! I hadnt even touched it, it just fell off! Miele changed the design and instead of the door being connected on both corners by little round metal things, they are now only connected in the center by a little crappy spring. The doors just fall or break off with the slightest movement, leaving just the little spring sticking out. At that point the bag is garbage. I havent been able to figure out if a repair is possible, and I searched Mieles website and there seems to be no way for a consumer to contact them. Im going to contact my local vacuum cleaner repair shop, that is an authorized Miele dealer, and ask them how to get in contact with Miele. For my next vacuum cleaner, which Ill probably buy next year, I will be asking my friends what bagless models they like. This is just unacceptable and I think Miele is probably already aware of the problem!
