Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Definitely NOT the ones to buy anymore.. Any of these older paper type "Y" bags (whatever they call them. In this case "micro-filtration") are famous for coming apart at the glued seams.. Hoover superseded them with their new complete plastic bags that are manufactured with "heat-sealed" seams, that never come apart.. The better ones are called Hoover part number 4010801Y.. They also have many other benefits over these older paper bags, invented in the 1950's. Namely the newer 4010801Y type "Y" bag also filters out smaller particles, fits into the vacuum easier and better, and contains more dirt. Don't be fooled into buying paper bags using catch names other than the word paper: Like "micro-filtration".. The newer plastic 4010801Y (also called part# 43655082) are HEPA rated to trap 99.97% of dust and pollens down to 0.3 microns.. The old ones don't come anywhere near that.. They fit all type "Y".. Once you use them, you will never switch back!
