EnviroCare Replacement Micro Filtration Vacuum Cleaner Dust Bags made to fit Hoover Windtunnel Upright Type Y 9 pack

The local Wal-Mart stopped carrying Hoover replacement bags, so I thought Id have to order directly from the manufacturer. Not so. These bags are thicker, stronger, and filter out more dust than the bags that came with the vacuum. These work great for pet hair and dander, too. A great bag for the price.

I liked everything about the product

These bags are okay, but they’re not the same quality as the more expensive type which the vacuum came with. The originals have a rubber seal around the hole and they are a little better quality. The thing is, that original type cost more. I guess it depends upon your thriftiness. I don’t need to change the bag all that often, so I’ll buy the other kind next time.

A little hard to attach (tighter opening than most, not impossible) but once I got it on, its fine and does what it supposed to. Also they were much cheaper than when I buy them in the store so I am very happy with purchase and would buy these again.

I bought a package of these Envirocare Type Y bags and an identical package of the genuine Hoover Type Y. They are to go in a brand new Hoover upright, which only had a three-pack of Hoover bags in it. Since no one sells the genuine article in retail any more, I ordered from amazon.com, my favorite retailer online. The bags came in the same box - great for comparison. After using both, here are the differences. The Envirocare bag is the same weight of paper filter, same exact dimension, with a sturdier attachment cardboard to fit onto the vacuums fill tube. It is, however, for reasons I cannot completely understand, harder to attach to the tube. I think the cardboard is just cut with zero tolerance and the Hoover ones are more loose. Not precisely the air-tight seal youd want - so the Envirocare bag beats Hoover on that score. The Envirocare Y bag has deeper pleats so when it inflates it fills a larger space in the vacuum chamber than the Hoover Y. Some vacs use a type Y but still have very small chamber. If that is yours, you might prefer the Hoover at about 3 times the cost, for the sake of breathing that the machine needs to do. It is after all, a device to move air through a filter. If your vacuum will hold more, and has vent holes on the front like this Hoover I have, the larger bag poses no problem whatsoever, and takes longer to fill and/or stop up. When using the larger Envirocare Y bag, stuff is immediately sucked in and down to the bottom of it. Recently had an accidental pick-up of something I did not want to lose. In the smaller Hoover bags, the dust and dog hair seem to pack in from the bottom up, and anything new is deposited on top of the pile. The large bags seem to create more even distribution of detritus inside, which, while a weird thing to care about, really saved the day when trying to find a tiny earring in that mess. Opened the bag with scissors and found the earring, neat except for some dust, at the tippy end of the vac bag. Im going with Envirocare from now on. I see some reviewers have complained that they ordered these and got some knock-off brand. Mine are Envirocare and I wont bother paying more for genuine brand name of Hoover again.

Works well. Replacement

This is the best bag I have found for using with the

OEM quality

They work good and I like how ater you take it off the vacuum when they are full, there a sticky paper to cover the hole so it doesnt come out when deposing it

Bag is fine. It’s a bag. Works like every other bag. The sticker to seal the bag opening upon removal is flimsy and tends to rip when peeling off the backing. Also doesn’t stick and seal well. Oh well, I didn’t buy these for that feature. I bought them because they are cheap. They work fine.
