Miele Style FJM HyClean Vacuum Cleaner Bags: 4 Bags + 1 Super Air Clean Filter + 1 PreMotor Filter!!!!

Comment: if you need this brand, they are good ones. and i like shopping on Amazon.

Comment: These new bags are a disaster! I have had my Miele vacuum cleaner for 5 years - and LOVE it! I never had any problem with the old bags. Problems with the new bags are: 1) Inside the new bags there are small plastic strips that run parallel to each other. These strips are supposed to "sway" in the suction and push the dirt/debris to the edges of the bag. They don't work - the dirt/debris stays piled in the middle of the bag. The new bags only get 1/3 full and then . . . 2) The new bags have a flap that opens (and closes). When the dirt gets piled in the middle of the bag - the flap is probably held open allowing the dirt/lint to escape. Twice I have opened my bag compartment to find it filled with dirt and lint. I had to 1) pay $50.00 to have my motor cleaned out (full of lint/dirt) and 2) another $50.00+ for a new HEPA filter. My vacuum cleaner repair store said they have had a lot of complaints from Miele customers. Offered 2 solutions: 1) Some people are cutting through the plastic strips in the bag to keep them from working (or not working) and 2) There is a generic bag made for the vacuum by EnviroCare Technologies. I opted for the generic bag - because it DOES NOT have a flap - which I believe to be a part of the problem. Email Miele - maybe they will bring back the OLD bags.

Comment: The bags are pricey, but their quality is very good. No dust will spill from them when you change them. If not for the price I would give them 5 stars.

Comment: The bags fit the Miele canister well, so that's good. There are a bunch in the box, so that's also good. My cleaning lady seems to like them. All in all, nothing much to report here.

Comment: Timely shipment for a necessary item for my Miele Vacuum. Great price too.
Thanks.
