When you switched from a fabric bag to a plastic bag, did you notice a reduction in dust?

We always used the plastic bags and they do not leak any dust unless they are punctured.

Not that I've noticed. I have used one other vacuum cleaner that is not a Eureka and it has a hard plastic enclosure for the bag. There is no noticeable difference. I don't think this vacuum adds any more dust in the air than is already there.

Changing bags is very easy. Just separate the cloth casing where it is attached to the plastic body and you will see the filter bag. Remove the bag and replace it with the new one.

Yes, I think I know what you are saying. I am not sure if they have changed the blend because I have seen others say the same thing.One thing you can do to to keep the bags in airtight containers. It helps. I use smaller containers or bags to store few bags in each so that I am not allowing air to get in touch with the bags each time I try to get a bag to use it.

My last bag had a different odor - I can't say it was a "plastic type odor" but definitely different than prior bags. The last bag also appeared much rougher - almost as if it had wood product in it.

I've had my vacuum 1 1/2 years and I have changed it once. Some of the dust and dirt will come out if it is tapped on a hard surface. I do this each time I change the bag. We have 3 small indoor dogs. When I vacuumed the other day I noticed that dusty stale odor. Guess it's time to change it. But you should be able to see the dirt that won't shake out.

I put a dead Everlast bag and a dead Century bag (shredded cotton cloth) in ours. Sand is a great core material, but use small batches and make sure it stays put. Loose sand has ruined more bags than anything else I've seen.

I actually haven't. I'm very particular about putting every thing in plastic grocery bags. I do think it's a big design flaw, they should make some sort of inset

I have been able to keep mine clean with just a bit of water on a cloth. Spot cleaning. I use the bag nearly every day & keeping it clean this way hasn't been a problem. I even carry lunch in my bag sometimes. I would be hesitant to use chemicals on it... I really treasure my bag.

Yes, it had a full bag indicator which turns red. BE SURE TO PUSH THE NEW BAG ON AS FAR AS IT WILL GO WHEN REPLACING or it will blow off causing the chamber to fill with debris. I haven't had the need to replace the roller or belt but according to the manual it doesn't appear complicated.

hi i unfolded the bottom of the back to take a look. there is one layer of a white sticky type material next to the paper. says nothing on the bag about the ply. in my mind it would seem that the white lining is such that dust would be collected very well.

No as soon as I used bag and placed items in bag zipper started to get stuck until it tore out of place! Very dissatisfied!

I stored coats and hoodies in space bags, and I am very sensitive to the scent of plastic on anything I wear. I did not notice any smells from the plastic bags on any of my clothes. They stayed very clean and very compact during the time when I was moving from one house to another. Even time spent in the back of a hot moving truck didn't affect the way the clothes smelled when I later removed them from the Ziploc Space Bags. They were as fresh as when I packed them.If you do notice any little bit of scent I am sure it would easily be eliminated by one round in a washing machine.

I did not see a reduction in the airflow when I installed the filter. I did have far less fine particle dust once I installed it which was what I was looking to achieve.

I prefer bagged as it is easier and way too cleaner to empty it. When it is bagless, you are choking in dust to empty it totally.

Do you have the zipper bag or the plastic bag now? The plastic bag is useless after a short while. The zipper/cloth bag which comes with a new kit should last quite a long time. Other than that I don't know of where you can buy just the bag. I like the refresher spray to go along with the cloths that comes with the new kit also. I love doing my dry cleaning at home, and Dryel and similars do a wonderful job.

Absolutely! I've changed the contents many times. They're made of much thicker material than a food storage type baggie. You open the bag, put in your items, seal it, in the middle of the bag there is a plastic cap you open, you attach a vacuum hose and suck out all of the air. Some have said their bags leak, there is a slider to close it, but I always manually press my hand along, pressing the edges together to make sure it's sealed tight. I haven't had one let go yet.
