Can I use the bags Style 7 with this vacuum? I already have the plain model 71Y7 *without* Febreze, and a lot of unused bags.

Check the plate with the serial number and model number on your vacuum. It may state what bags to use. I recently saw this on my vacuum that I have had for 21 years! If they do fit and you purchase them, they are a little hard to get on. Just keep trying until you get it into place. These bags are excellent, especially with the sticker to cover the opening when you take it off. They're a great price too.

Thank you S.A. Friedman, Nicole and E. Bates. I appreciate learning from owners' experience. I live in a remote outpost, a northern fishing village, and the availability of bags mail-order affects my choice of vacuum. The permanent cloth bag sounds good for big jobs (I have two dogs). I'd like to order everything at once, and your information is extremely helpful. Kind regards, tkf

B Bags. Any generic B bag will work. Unfortunately, the bags featured along with this vacuum are not the correct ones. The cardboard part that slips into the bag holder needs to be larger than the ones featured. B Bags have the wider cardboard. Update: Just checked the listing of this vacuum cleaner and see that the bags recommended for it are now the correct ones. When I purchased mine, they had the wrong bags shown.

excellent question! I did research before buying this vacuum and it turns out you need to buy the bags directly from GreatVac. I will bring one bag next time to Walmart to see if they carry some standard ones with the same size.

I don't think so. Please read your owner's manual or go to the Miele website and search for your model vacuum. The website will tell you which replacement bags to order.

Sorry, I don't know those other vacuums. I like this one but unlike an earlier model, the hose connects in the center of the top and it makes it harder to drag it behind you. It over turns over .... darn.

I have used it with a Shark Vacuum. It works fine. The shark vacuum has two foam filters stacked on together plus another fine fiber-ish (cloth-like feel) under these two so it does a great job of collecting the dust. I give it a thorough cleaning after each drywall project.I would NOT try this with an older vacuum that uses bags.

Yes. This is my second one. I love it. It's a good old fashion vacuum with a bag with greaT suction. It works better then some dysons over used.

Yes. You can use either the heavier hepa rated bags, or a lighter/cheaper paper variant. The bags are quite large and last a good amount if time as they don't lose suction as they fill up. I will NEVER go back to ineffective bagless vacuum cleaners. The bags are shared with a Kenmore version, so you can get them at Sears as well.

The Miele FJM dust bags fit canister vacuum cleaners S4000 thru S4999. There may be different FJM dust bags. They all should fit your vacuum cleaner. The genuine Miele brand bags work the best. There are cheaper compatible dust bags made by other companies. Of those, the only one I would buy are the Filtrete made by 3M. They work okay, but the bag doesn't seal quite as well around the nozzle as the Miele brand does. When you change a full Filtrete bag dust comes out. Change the bags slowly when you pull them off the nozzle and have a plastic grocery bag handy to put the dust bag in right away. The more you handle a full 3M dust bag the more fine dust will squirt out. It's a minor trade off if you want a cheaper price. I've tried other compatible brands and none of them were any good. Buy only the Miele or Filtrete brand FJM dust bags.

I have Food Saver model V3020. The bags work just fine with my model. I do find them to be a wee bit thinner than the Food Saver brand.

Yes! I absolutely love these bags. I use it I. My V2222 sealer. No complaints

I used my old C style bags with this vac. It took a bit of jiggling to get it aligned because the C style bags have a smaller cardboard face but I just slipped that on and carefully closed the vac and had no problems. I'm sure the newer bags fit better but I did not want to waste the spare bags I had on hand.

Yes, but don't buy this vacuum. Didn't last a year and there is a burning smell every time you use it. I loved the 430 series (green) and had it for years the 430 still works but the wheel broke . I thought 431F would be just as good but no such luck - it was horrible!
