What happened to the 50l bags?

Hi there. These bags were mis-sold as 50L for a while by a number of dishonest sellers. The highest capacity this bag goes to is 36L, which is still roomy enough for the staff here at Epic! Hope that helps.

I no longer have the bag. I would suggest contacting the seller or the company that makes it. Sorry I can't help.

Yes. The smaller bags have held their seal longer, but I've generally been having the same issue. It doesn't look like the bags have any punctures or tears, so the problem is either in the valve, or the seal -- the seal itself is not very well-designed, as you keep it very flat to prevent any creases in the seal (which make be a source of leaks). There is a "pincher" tool to help straighten out the seal, but it's not really effective -- a zip-top may have been better. All in all, I would not buy this product again.

Just got mine and both are packed together in a bag with pumps attached and both leaked. For this price I am sending back.

I don't know. I bought and use the bags--I am not the seller. You need to ask the seller. I will tell you they are very thin and very tough, Sorry, Rich

Yes but I had to re-vacuum the large bags after a few months. Also don't over stuff them, they rip easily!

Yes. Noticed they changed to a lesser quality/density plastic some number of months ago, on both these and the kitchen bags.

it may have been a bad run. We had it happen twice, in 7 years. The company replaced ALL 4-40lb bags. There had been an issue with production, their rep said when she sent us the coupons

I don't know exactly when they were updated, but I believe it was between a few months or a year ago. I got my bag at the beginning of August 2014, so, obviously, the adjustments weren't enough. Though, I do carry three binders in there, so it may be that the bag simply wasn't designed for my usage of it.

yes they replace the factory bags directly be warned that replacing them is no funthey came was decent directions the key is to squeeze out all existing air in the new bags and twist them up into the springs using soapy water preferably in a misting bottlebe careful and do not push the air chuck at all in the bags I pushed one all the way in Wis not much force

We use 4 mil poly bags. But mine has stopped working now. I am going to have to check it out and see if I can fix it now.

I believe there are replacement bags to purchase. They also give you a couple of extra bags with your purchase.

We had 40 pound bags (50 of them). The description seems to imply that they range from 20 to 40 pounds for some reason.

Looks like everyone has answered. If all still fails, you might contact the Bag company, might be a bad batch of bags?

The replacement inner bags are quite small and readily available on the Oreck website. They frequently run sales on the bags. Also, you may want to check Sears since they sell Oreck also. The bags may be available at your local store. Any local Oreck store would also have the bags, but there may not be an Oreck store in your area.

yes. They have replacement bags, but it's the whole plastic holder with the bag attached. I just ordered two of them - they're about $7 each.

As I recall, they were in the bag with the hardware. No certainty in my answer. Sorry.
