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 love these bags. Ive bought the Hoover type-Y bags and compared them to these bags--these work just as well, are less expensive, and they are very easy (i.e., always available on Amazon with 2-day shipping) to buy. I like buying them in bulk because I cannot handle the idea of an emergency trip to Walmart on a Sunday afternoon just to buy two overpriced, silly vacuum bags. They fit the Hoover Upright Windtunnel Pet vacuum perfectly.

Good value for the money, but they are so long they need to be folded over to fit in my Sears canister Type C vacuum cleaner. They are in reality too big for the compartment. That makes closing the lid a challenge and appears to restrict air flow in the bag, in addition to the air flow passing into the first stage filter at the rear of the compartment the bag rests in, possibly reducing the vacuums efficiency.

Great replacements - keeps my od hoover going

These bags are easy to install, work just as good if not better than the name brand for my Hoover Vaccuum. Ive bought these multiple times and will continue to buy/use as long as the vaccuum lasts. Geat value,geat product.

Original purchase & review: Oct 2011 (when product did not match amazon profile) Misleading. Not EnviroCare nor packaged as implied in photo. Quality felt substandard and flimsy - unlike the robust originals. Came as loose unpackaged items from VacuumSupply. Update: Amazon was 5* about this and made good its guarantee. On 19 January 2012, Amazon revised the product photo from EnviroCare to MicroLined. Now its back to Envirocare - What is happening? Upon initial delivery, I fitted one for a testrun - due to its delicate quality I felt I had to be extra cautious that the bag would not tear. To fit it to the hole, one has to perforate the paper covering the hole reinforcement - this tears easily enough. The hole fitting seemed flimsy and clumsy, however one eventually manages to attach it to the hole after some careful fiddling to ensure the bag does not tear prematurely. Survived first testrun - I shall however update this space to see if it stays in place. An old dust allergy has reemerged briefly (2months now)... but this (in hindsight) is more due to the unmodified hepa final filter which leaked from the sides fr the same delivery batch. Update: In mid January 2012, I had to use another one (2nd) of these bags and did some solid vacuuming for 2.5-3 hours in a day - the bag fitted new, held up well (with a new anti bac deodorizer pouch in place). However, the bag would need regular changing say every month or so as otherwise it could start to stink as mine did with the first. I dont remember the original hoover bag (thicker) emitting any smell when used no matter how long it stayed unchanged. For the price, I would upgrade this to 2.5 to 3 stars. If you are buying from overseas, this may not be worth your trouble as shipping cost is exorbitant. If you are a local buyer, then, you just get what you pay for.

Item as described.

Amazon did not like my first review of this product (too short and did not directly address the product qualities) and would not publish it so I will try again. Normally I do not get excited about vacuum bags unless they are defective in some way. The ENVIROCARE Hoover WindTunnel Upright Type Y Vacuum Bag worked as advertised, was easy to install, was the right price (not that a lower price wouldnt be acceptable) and was delivered on time in pristine condition. We have purchased this product from ENVIROCARE before (via Amazon) with similar satisfactions. I appreciate the ease of purchase via Amazon. I wonder if this will clear the Amazon editors !!!

Does its job well! Keeps debris totally inside bag.
