Product Description

Flexible, tear-resistant Filtrete Synthetic Dust Bags expand as you clean. Air flows easily through the multilayer construction, yet traps more dust and fine particles, preventing clogs and prolonging your exhaust filter’s life—more than 25 times While paper dust bags cause suction loss when only half full, Filtrete technology ensures continual full-power suction that lasts three times longer.

5.0 out of 5 stars 3M bags for Miele excellent!, December 23, 2009

I got tired of the overpriced Miele bags ( $5 each, to fill with dirt and throw away? really?) and looked for an alternative. The 3m bags are still more expensive than the cheapest knock off bag, but they are the best engineered. Miele's reincarnated FJM bag now features a clapper valve that is supposed to shut between vacuuming sessions. Problem is, once the bag starts to fill, the debris prevents the valve from closing. This allows the contents to spill out when the bag is removed. 3m continues to use the old slide up door that clicks into place when you remove the full bag. As far as operational performance, I can discern no appreciable difference.

I have used 5 of these bags so far in my Miele, and have not had any of the mess that some reviewers complain of. They work fine for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works like the old Miele bags, November 29, 2010

I have a Miele Silver Moon & a Royal Blue that both require the FJM bags. I faithfully used the Miele FJM bags (bought in 5 box bulk sets) for almost a decade before Miele switched to their new bag design. The new design was terrible in both of my vacs and the bag would register full because the flap would jam so I would have to open the canister and manually push the debris into the bag. The bags were also smaller so I was going though them much faster than the old design. Adding insult to injury the new design came with less bags per box so I was getting less in volume AND quantity. I have used the first of the 3M bags and so far it has performed just like the old Miele design and I have not had any issues with the bag attachment mechanism. I may have an issue when it is time to remove the bag but like the old Miele design it holds so much debris that I haven't filled it yet and that alone warrants the 5 stars!
