Vacuum Bags

Vacuum bags hold the dirt, dust and debris collected from the vacuum cleaner. As with other vacuum accessories, there are several advantages to using both a vacuum bag and cloth bag:

  1. Vacuum bags add an extra level of filtration, which means less dirt and dust is pulled through the motor and extends the life of the vacuum
  2. Vacuums bags allows for easier disposal of the collect dirt, dust and debris
  3. Vacuum bags ensure the cloth bag stays cleaner, longer and reduces the amount of dirt and dust that penetrate the cloth bag, giving the cloth bag a longer life.
  4. Vacuum bags are a cheaper alternative to replacement of damaged motors and more frequent replacement of cloth bags.
