Tools and Hardware Reviews of Hoover WindTunnel Allergen Filter Bag, 4010100Y
Customer Review: Three stars for filtration, zerio stars for ease of use
Summary: 3 Stars
First the complaint - these bags are awfully pricey considering that they fill up so fast. The bag is too big for the compartment, so you have to fold it over at the top and bottom to get it to fit into the allotted space. Despite having owned this model vacuum for seven years, I still need three hands to get the corners of the over-sized bag tucked into place before slamming the compartment shut.
Changing the bag is a dirty bit of business, because when you pull the old bag off, all that super-fine dust at the top goes *POOF* and escapes from the bag's opening . We've taken to putting the vacuum on the back porch before opening up the bag compartment to keep dust out of our home.
I see a name brand competitor has come up with a solution to this by putting a little trap door thingie by the bag's opening, so when you pull the bag off the vacuum, all the dust doesn't fly out of the bag and go *POOF*.
Okay - the positive - these Hoover paper bags do a decent job of trapping fine dust particles, but I do wish they'd figure out how to make bag removal and installation easier. Or just make the bag a different shape so you're not contorting it to get it into the allotted space.
More recently, I've started using Filtrete (3M) bags. Made of cloth, they're lined with an electrostatically charged media which captures dust and dirt down to .3 microns. Because they're cloth (instead of stiff paper, like these bags), they're much easier to install into the Hoover vacuum.
Customer Review: Good Dust Eliminator
Summary: 3 Stars
I find these bags to be very good in getting the tiny dust particles. Yes, I do find the bags in general to be on the pricy side especially since I have had several rip. At any rate, I have not had a problem with putting the bags on or taking them off. I vaccuumed up something accidentally and needed to remove the bag to get it out. As I attempted to carefully remove the bag (one I had just changed), it ripped right off of the cardboard ring and I had to replace the entire bag. As for the big "Poof" when changing bags, I try to be careful and haven't really had a problem.Customer Review: Not Quite What I Expected
Summary: 3 Stars
Although this is the official Hoover replacement bag it is not the same as the nice cloth one that came with the vacuum cleaner I bought. This one is paper and still leaks dust like all paper ones do even despite the 99.9% allergen filter rating. The cloth bag was much better than any paper bags and I am still trying to find cloth bags. This product is ok but not what I hoped I was ordering.Customer Review: So...where can these be purchased in a b&m?

I've had no success in finding the "Y" bags in stores. Anyone know where they are? Please share. Thanks.Customer Review: Leaky bags
Summary: 2 Stars
These bags are somewhat difficult to replace. Takes a few minutes of wiggling and pushing. This also prevents the sticky tab for sealing the bag from sticking to the opening.
