Tools and Hardware Reviews of Hoover Type Y HEPA Filter Bag, Set of 2
Customer Review: Better than 3M Filtrete Bags
Summary: 5 Stars
These bags are much better than the older Hoover brand bags made from 3M Filtrete material, like shown on this product page: HOOVER 4010801Y 2PK Type Y HEPA Bags Also Fitz Type Z
These bags are still HEPA, but they are pleated, so they are easier to fit into my upright vacuum. The older bags were flat and the edges had to be stuffed and tucked into the vacuum cleaner to make the bag fit. These bags are the correct width.
The opening on these bags is still made out of cardboard, but there is a flexible rubber-like material covering part of the opening. The older bags had just the wide open hole, and when you pulled the bag out, a lot of dust and dirt would fall out if the bag was full. I always wondered why they didn't put a rubber lining across the opening like other manufacturers do, and I think this will help keep the dust and dirt inside the bag. It should also create a better seal between the bag and the vacuum.
Several reviewers complained about receiving filters that weren't the Hoover brand as shown on the product page. Mine were exactly as shown. There are other vendors selling these bags, but mine were sold by GoVacuum.
Customer Review: Hoover filtrete vacumn bags
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought these bags because a reconditioned Hoover I had recently purchased came with one in it. When I turned on the vac after several uses, it didn't spew dust into the air like my regular type Y bags do. That was the reason I purchased these bags. Having chronic asthma, I can't handle dust in any way w/o becoming very ill.
These bags don't smell of dust except when I'm slow changing them. They have a silicone type seal around the opening that really clings to the vac, thus preventing dust from escaping, especially when you first turn the vac on. I don't know why Hoover didn't put this type of seal on all their bags. It's really efficient for dust control.
Customer Review: plastic microfiber Hoover type Y filter bag
Summary: 5 Stars
This newer series plastic Hoover type Y HEPA filter bag is certainly far better than then all the older paper ones out there. It's completely heat-sealed, eliminating the problem of coming apart, like the glued seams of the old paper versions. It's a non-woven plastic material, much better at capturing particulates of all sizes (does a far better job at removing the dirt). Fits all Hoover type Y vacuums. And it's slightly larger, giving you more capacity.. This bag is the best.. Once you use one, you will always look to get them again!Customer Review: Impressive performance
Summary: 5 Stars
The Y bags made for Hoover by 3M co. allow the vacuum to operate without ever loosing suction, it's fantastic, I am through with paper bags, this micro-fiber bag has even given new life to my almost 20 year old Hoover Wind tunnel self propelled, although I bought them to go with the new Hoover U6439900, rated best (I believe it, wow this vacuum really sucks, in a good way) I have never had cleaner floors, and I have 3 dogs that shed a ton of hair (seems like it anyway) every dayCustomer Review: The real thing, and cheap to boot!
Summary: 5 Stars
These are the legit bags that my vacuum cleaner (a Hoover Windtunnel Anniversary Edition of some sort) needed so it could stop sucking and start sucking. They had the distinction of not being the off-brand bags the local grocer carries; those bags clogged easily and yet passed enormous amounts of dust.
Seriously, they're vacuum bags. If you need this size you get these. If you like sneezing then you get some off-brand or non-HEPA ones for even cheaper.
