EnviroCare Replacement Micro Filtration Vacuum Cleaner Dust Bags made to fit Hoover Windtunnel Upright Type Y 9 pack

I just let my house keeper go, lol! I had to buy cleaning supplies I had not had to buy in a long time. These work great in my old vacuum cleaner. I was relieved that I didn’t have to go driving around trying to find theses things.

Fit Perfect, Great Price!

They work well. The adhesive disposal cover sometimes doesnt stick well, but a little tape on it helps.

Original purchase & review: Oct 2011 (when product did not match amazon profile) Misleading. Not EnviroCare nor packaged as implied in photo. Quality felt substandard and flimsy - unlike the robust originals. Came as loose unpackaged items from VacuumSupply. Update: Amazon was 5* about this and made good its guarantee. On 19 January 2012, Amazon revised the product photo from EnviroCare to MicroLined. Now its back to Envirocare - What is happening? Upon initial delivery, I fitted one for a testrun - due to its delicate quality I felt I had to be extra cautious that the bag would not tear. To fit it to the hole, one has to perforate the paper covering the hole reinforcement - this tears easily enough. The hole fitting seemed flimsy and clumsy, however one eventually manages to attach it to the hole after some careful fiddling to ensure the bag does not tear prematurely. Survived first testrun - I shall however update this space to see if it stays in place. An old dust allergy has reemerged briefly (2months now)... but this (in hindsight) is more due to the unmodified hepa final filter which leaked from the sides fr the same delivery batch. Update: In mid January 2012, I had to use another one (2nd) of these bags and did some solid vacuuming for 2.5-3 hours in a day - the bag fitted new, held up well (with a new anti bac deodorizer pouch in place). However, the bag would need regular changing say every month or so as otherwise it could start to stink as mine did with the first. I dont remember the original hoover bag (thicker) emitting any smell when used no matter how long it stayed unchanged. For the price, I would upgrade this to 2.5 to 3 stars. If you are buying from overseas, this may not be worth your trouble as shipping cost is exorbitant. If you are a local buyer, then, you just get what you pay for.

I have had no trouble with these bags and they are consitantly shipped to me promptly.

Does its job well! Keeps debris totally inside bag.

I bought a package of these Envirocare Type Y bags and an identical package of the genuine Hoover Type Y. They are to go in a brand new Hoover upright, which only had a three-pack of Hoover bags in it. Since no one sells the genuine article in retail any more, I ordered from amazon.com, my favorite retailer online. The bags came in the same box - great for comparison. After using both, here are the differences. The Envirocare bag is the same weight of paper filter, same exact dimension, with a sturdier attachment cardboard to fit onto the vacuums fill tube. It is, however, for reasons I cannot completely understand, harder to attach to the tube. I think the cardboard is just cut with zero tolerance and the Hoover ones are more loose. Not precisely the air-tight seal youd want - so the Envirocare bag beats Hoover on that score. The Envirocare Y bag has deeper pleats so when it inflates it fills a larger space in the vacuum chamber than the Hoover Y. Some vacs use a type Y but still have very small chamber. If that is yours, you might prefer the Hoover at about 3 times the cost, for the sake of breathing that the machine needs to do. It is after all, a device to move air through a filter. If your vacuum will hold more, and has vent holes on the front like this Hoover I have, the larger bag poses no problem whatsoever, and takes longer to fill and/or stop up. When using the larger Envirocare Y bag, stuff is immediately sucked in and down to the bottom of it. Recently had an accidental pick-up of something I did not want to lose. In the smaller Hoover bags, the dust and dog hair seem to pack in from the bottom up, and anything new is deposited on top of the pile. The large bags seem to create more even distribution of detritus inside, which, while a weird thing to care about, really saved the day when trying to find a tiny earring in that mess. Opened the bag with scissors and found the earring, neat except for some dust, at the tippy end of the vac bag. Im going with Envirocare from now on. I see some reviewers have complained that they ordered these and got some knock-off brand. Mine are Envirocare and I wont bother paying more for genuine brand name of Hoover again.

Hard to attached to vac.

Fast delivery and good product

I have an older WindTunnel Tempo. Im always very careful when installing vacuum bags. Ive purchased these EnviroCare bags before and they were great. Another reviewer noted that the bags are much thinner than they used to be, and I agree. It was almost impossible to push the cardboard ring down to seat it, and the bag tore in the process This has never happened to me before, ever. This bag may or may not work properly with your WindTunnel.
