Everything you need to know about Vacuum Bags Part 1

This post is dedicated to DEZMOND. I was going to get into this at a later time but since he asked I'll get into it now.

The first 2 are Paper bags, that are folded in half, followed by 2 Cloth Bags

There are, to my knowledge, 4 types of “bags”
Paper bags, Cloth Bags, Bag-less and Water Filtration

Paper bags are your traditional bags. Some have more advanced features, like a docking system, or some sort of way that attempts to trap dust inside when you’re changing bags. The majority of these are successful, and innovation has really moved forward with these. This is illustrated with the second bag in the above picture. The flap here is closed automatically when you pull up on the bag to remove it from the vacuum. These are your buy and toss bags, the simplest way to take care of your dust.

Cloth bags are bags that are meant to be used over and over again over a span of time. They’re found mostly in commercial machines and backpack vacuums (a-ha, did you know these exist?). The problem with these is that the bag begins to deteriorate depending on what you’re vacuuming, and it can get smelly and dirty. Also, you have to dump out the dust manually each time it gets full, or, as stated in the last post, 75% full. Cloth bags will either have small openings that dust will have difficulty getting out off, (bag number 3) or large openings that may allow dust to fly out freely (bag number 4).

Seeing as how this is a long post as it is, I’m just going to leave it at that for now.  I have to pace out my content after all, haha. Tomorrow I’ll talk about the water filtration system and what I believe is the best choice.
