Has anyone noticed the inside liner of the bags ripping? It's a bummer, and the secondary cloth bag is getting filthy.

We have not had any issues with this; however, I try to get my team to not vacuum up tacks and paper clips. We have used our vacuum for about six months. Any chance your team is letting them get too full?

I change the bag maybe every 3 to 5 months. i'm always pulling my vacuum cleaner out to clean up messes. i have all hard floors but a small house.

They are poorly made, two of the three bags tore open in the first week. Save yourself the headache and look somewhere else. Best of luck!

Mine so far is great! The fabric is starting to fade a bit. I think that if I bagged it instead of leaving it out it would have faired better, but as far as returning it the shipping would be more than I paid. So when mine rips I will just buy a new one.

Unfortunately, I'm in the same situation. First time I bought these they had the two corners. Now with the bunched bottom, you have much less space, and the sides of the bag fall into the garbage bin when you throw something away. Really irritating.

After receiving your question I checked mine out to see if there are any tears and it looks like the day I got it. Honestly it's the best bag I ever owned. I think they have a lifetime guarantee so get with Maxpedition to see if they will repair or replace.

I'm sorry this has happened, but unfortunately it is not fixable, or at least it wasn't a year ago. I had a previous one that had this same problem and I tried to get it fixed but was told by customer service at Deni that it was not repairable which is why I bought a new one. The previous one was about 6 yrs old so it wasn't an entirely unexpected problem; since I knew it wouldn't last forever. Occasionally, the bag wouldn't sort of "stick" to the wire after sealing and I attributed that to the problem, so now I hold the wire down with a finger before I lift the bag. This is probably something they should add to their instructions.

Hi, this bag was a gift to my mom when I bought it.I did see the bag for myself and the quality of the nylon is superb and my suggestion is just to wipe any area that gets dirty with a wet towel and perhaps a dab of Dawn or soap.In my opinion, I would not machine wash this bag because it would loose its form.Hope I was able to answer your question.Have a great day!!!!! :))

Thanks for the info. We have 2 dogs and I'm worried that I'll have to change the bag once a week! It seemed like I was constantly dumping out the bagless one, a chore I really didn't like! I don't mind removing the bags, it's just that the cost of buying a lot of them can add up. We'll see how it goes - vacuum just arrived today!

Haven't purchased any lately, but the few bags I have gotten in the past were always wonderful. Sorry to hear you're having a bad experience, I am sure they will replace them for you if you contact the seller thru Amazon in a timely manner.

Mine has held up. It gets really squeezed when in its bag. It takes a little while for it to bounce back to its shape but always has.

I was curious to see if mine was also dirty. It was. I couldn't remove the white plastic front, but I blew into the wider opening and it seemed to get rid of just about all of the dust inside. Now I am keeping mine in a ziploc sandwich bag to prevent the build up of dust.

Tell me about it!!, I took off the covers to wash and they shredded so much on the inside it was hard to get them zipped up. I would be curious how much it would cost to have new covers made in a different material. I hate the fabrics! I know that doesn't help. I have to agree with you.Good luck. Jody

If you know someone handy with a needle, perhaps you could replace the part of the velcro that needs replacing. I do that with my other bags, too...

I had not used mine much when it got holes in it. Since I had it only short time contacted company and they sent me a replacement bag. They do sell replacement bags. The bags in my opinion are not of good quality, and when I used the new bag first time this week I think I may have figured out 1 reason it was short lived. Even though I was vacuuming leaves, some pine straw drifts in from nearby trees. When I went to clean the bag, pieces of pine needles were stuck into the material. The book says bag capacity is 14 gallons. It's not a really big bag. At one time I had a gas powered chipper shredder and its bag appeared to be of nylon and was heavy duty, lasted through years of use. Whatever material this bag is made of is not as durable.

Thanks for your comments I've had similar problems like with your mother, I'm sending back 4 bags that leak really bad hopefully this was just a bad batch I really want to like the product and when the bags do seal properly it an incredible little system I actually bought it to compliment my more expensive Food Saver Say could you post again and let me know how your mothers new bags work out. Thanks!

I noticed the bag we recently purchased had a bad odor. I thought it smelled like dirt.
