How do you figure out what size "nozzle" to go w/ which vac bags? Or is it just not well designed overall?

there is only one size of nozzle that I received and it was on the vacuum. You have to hold it just right on the plastic hole and just keep pumping until you see the bag compress. It took me a couple of trys until I figured it out.

At least, this model is not well designed to fit Ziploc bags. I don't know if it will fit any other brand of bags. I did not buy any other vacum pump after this.

good question, but---there's no answer. None of the descriptions I've been able to find give sizes. Even tho the item supposedly would fit the space bags, it's really for canning. The space bags are really frustrating. Even using the hose on a vacuum cleaner for the "vacuum" part, but many of the bags still leak and have to be done over and over. Thought this gadget would do the trick, but it doesn't. Even ordered the Ziploc bags for the kitchen with the manual "vacuum" designed for them, but that doesn't even work well for the smaller bags and doesn't fit the space bags either. Wish I could give you a better answer or advice. I've wasted a lot of money on the space bags--about half of them work as advertised, so the rest are only good for a see-thru storage for items. Hope you have better luck.

I have a BV5600 and my bag is great. It zipps all the way accross the end and most of the way up the side. You said you had trouble getting it to fit on your blower you must have the wrong bag.

Yes, it fits very well. Just make sure the male section on the vac is cleaned of any debris such as sand, dirt, etc., before placing the bag fitting over it as you will have a hard time removing the bag.

Any Size will work as long as there is an attachment that will cover the valve. I use a dyson dc34 handheld. The opening fits over the valve just fine. FYI. I have been using this brand of bag for a while. They work great. I actually had stored away some clothes that I was going to donate to Goodwill. I put the bag in an outside shed thinking they would stay there till I could get time to take them. I figured about a week. Well, I got busy and totally forgot. A Year and six months later, this past Summer, when I was Cleaning out the shed, there they were. Still sealed tight. No air had gotten in. The clothes still had the fresh sent fabric softener smell.

Frankly, it took me a few trys (and maybe a couple of dirty words!) to figure this out. The larger attachment with the smaller end fits on the wand of my vac. I then take the clear rubber hose and put the end w/o the black adapter on the small end of that. Then any of the little tools will fit on the black adapter of the clear hose. I got this to vac my sewing machine out after a big project and really like it. I think it does a great job! (with and without dirty words!)

I had a terrible time trying to figure out what would fit, and bought this, the wrong hose, the first time. Then I found the website vacpartswarehouse.com. You have to find your model number (mine is on the plate at the bottom of the vacuum) and then search for that model. The page lists every single part that works for that model, including the extra-long hose (in my case, model U5759 calls for part 43434043). The drawback is that it doesn't work for regular floor-cleaning, so I switch back and forth, using the hose that came with the vacuum normally, the extra-long hose for jobs where I am reaching up high.

Not sure? The height in the vac could be crucial. Also, the bag is somewhat flexible?? Trying is the only way that I Know. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Rebecca, I wish I knew for sure. I'm trying to remember the model number of my Shop Vac...if I get out to the barn I'll check it. I DO know that the guidelines in the ad were accurate and it fit my vacuum perfectly. I checked other ads until I found one that fit my unit, then I found the best price...as I recall, the ad I purchased from didn't list all the ones it fits. Sorry I can't be more specific.

I am not 100% sure , BUt I believe the D bag is larger above the hole then the U bag is.It appears the D bag is longer and the U bag shorter in that area. I do not believe they would work unless you did not mind changing thjem more often, you would have less filling of the bag cause severl inches of it would be mashed own and not fill at the top area. I hope that helps some. You can look at the images of the U shape and then the D shape bag and see what i am talking about. Amazon shows both type vacuum bags. I purchsed the U shape as it was recommended by the manufacturer of the Dirt Devil vac. And They are very good and cheap.Unless you have extreme allergies and need a heavier bag, these are perfect.

Is it a kirby vacumn? I would try calling a vacumn repair place locally they can tell you if they will work. As long as the opening where you attach the bag is the same size and shape it should work ok.

I use a small shop vac with fittings that reduce down to 3/8 of an in. Just suck it out. Bought the reducer at lowes and comes in handy for many other uses too.

You have to have a vacuum that has a hose you can put into the fitting on the bag. The fitting size is universal to all the vacuums on the market today. I don't know if you read my review....but these bags work great for the first couple of weeks and then they loose their integrity and the shrink disappeared in everyone of my bags in under two months. I wish you better luck if you get these bags. Linda

Are you pushing down on the grey button on top of the vacuume cleaner beside the handle? You have to push the button down, then pull the canister out. The top fits more snug than the last one I had. I have to hold the canister between my knees, then turn the top and pull it up. I'm hoping it will get easier the more times I do it! Hope this information is helpful :0)

Edna- I wish I could help you with your vac bags, but I also am a customer not a person that works for Nutone. I ordered mine from www.nutone.com. Hope this helps you.

Call an Oreck store and ask them which bag on their website fits that vaccuum and then check the item numbers. If they match you are a winner and just saved half of what you would norrmally pay for this product.
