How to get the bags without buying the extra filters all the time?

Looks like we can get a 3 pack of bags from the Bissell website for $12. Part number 213-8059. It would be nice if they had a 5 pack of bags for a better price. It's a waste to buy a whole round of filters every time we need bags.

You want to kinda plan in advance but check here on amazon and 123filter.com (the manufacturer's site) and a few other places for the pack. You can purchase them separately but that could get frustrating. Depending on usage, you can go much longer with some of the filters in some cases.

I think it is relative to replacing the filter. In mine, the filter and bag are one piece, so if you order a new filter, I believe a new bag will be attached.

I just use plastic bags from the supermarket. A little trickier - because they don't fit exactly. But they do the job, and I get to recycle all those bags!

I emailed the manufacturer at their website. I was told that you can buy the bags from a medical supply company. Also was told that the manufacturer does sell bags, although you do have to pay a flat rate shipping, so maybe best to order 2 or 3 bags. Price quoted for the bags could be considered expensive for such a bag, but significantly cheaper than replacing the whole unit.

None - you order the filters separately. There are several/many different filters depending on what your application is. Simply sawdust? Chemical fumes? Buy the filters that fit your use.

It doesn't come with a bag. It comes with two sets of filter cartridges. The ones that are installed are a fine mesh filter and the others are a more course material. They remove very easily and are very easy to hose out. Sometimes I don't even need to remove them to hose them out.

It comes with an extra filter that you can clean anyway (we haven't had to yet). Also comes with a cleaning tool. No bags, just empty the tray after each use. Very easy. Hope this helps.

If you are refering to the paper filter you should be able to find them at any hardware store. If they are too big cut them down with sissors.

The one I recieved four years ago came with the bag. No big deal if it has the bag or not. This is the one and only filter that I would recommend.

I order a box of the larger bags by mistake and returned them. Not sure if Amazon still has them, but I'd look, since they had them not long ago.

A "filter", I don't think these use that. If a bag is what you mean, those are easy to find on Amazon. Just search for metro vacuum bags for the model you have. I think a 5 pack is around $5-6, but I empty the bag and reuse it atleast more time.

Answer here...i just purchase them directly on Amazon. I have read some reviewers hold onto the cardboard box frame and use a regular trash bag. I tried it once when I ran out and it wasn't a bad idea.

Yes, it is very easy. You can order them from a number of online retailers. They also last quite a while so you shouldn't have to change the bags very often.

No, there's no bag. You just push a button to unhook the bottom part of the unit, take out the filter that sits in there and dump it out. The filter gets stuck with pet hair and lint, I've thought about vacuuming it off with my upright but so far have just shaken it out into the trash.

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