I used mine for over five months before I had to replace it - not because it was full, but because the air the vacuum was expelling was no longer fresh. (I assume that very fine particles of dust had clogged the bag preventing it from filtering properly.) I used the canister to vacuum out the inside and the bottom of the upright, replaced the bag, and it began filtering like new again. Now I use the canister to vacuum out the bottom of the upright on a regular basis, and replace the bag whenever the exhaust is no longer fresh. The 4 for 3 promotion makes this an excellent item to buy on Amazon.

Hoover is rightfully proud of these beautiful silky clothlike vaccuum bags. Not your normal paper stuff, they are made of a soft quilty material, almost too nice to put inside a vaccuum.

They hold maybe 30 percent more than the bags from my old Eureka boss, but cost about 3 times as much. They work great, not a hint of pollen or dust escapes into the room. They look great. Just another little luxury that makes me feel more secure about who I am and what American craftmanship stands for.

They collect dust! A little expensive, but they definitely don;t let fine particulate through the bag, and that is important!

These bags are standard equipment for my Hoover Platinum upright vacuum cleaner. They are more expensive than the bags I used to buy for my Eureka boss or the bags for my Panasonic canister. Keep in mind, however that these bags are HEPA media, trapping dust and pollens down to .3 microns. With such an effective bag in the vacuum, there's no need to have a separate and expensive HEPA filter too. I have a personal preference for bagged vacuums and like the idea of trapping and keeping all the carpet gunk in a contained medium.

The bags look and feel of high quality and are heavier and thicker than other vacuum bags I have used. They feel soft and almost clothlike. I like that the bags are easy to install and go on tightly so that there are no bursts of dust thrown back into the air.

These Q-HEPA bags are very large and I've read anecdotes of them lasting up to six months. I dont think they'll last that long for me; I vacuum the house every day because lots of dirt is tracked in the house by two dogs and myself.

The owner's guide for the vacuum advises not using any scented powder or powdered cleaner on the carpets because the dust may clog the bags. This could be a problem for those who use Capture carpet cleaner as I do. Also if one gets fleas in the carpet, it's best to vacuum often and change the bag frequently, an expensive proposition with these bags.

To keep the bag smelling fresh I like to add a scent tablet, car air cleaner, or some potpourri to the bag before installation.
The price for these bags on Amazon is good, especially with the four for three deal if it's available when you read this. Other vendors list these bags for slightly less than Amazon does, but consider the additional postage charged by these sellers.

Finally - I really like the bags and love the Hoover Platinum vacuum cleaner.

This heavy duty bag lasted 3 months in a house with 4 kids! Plus it doesn't tear or send dust flying when I change it. Worth every penny.

These replacement bags came in a timely manner.
This is alot easier than going crazy looking for a store that sells them.
Great buy.

I really enjoy these bags in my new Hoover Platinum vacuum cleaner. MUCH more room than a bagless. I can do my whole house 3200 sq. ft. without once changing or emptying anything - and not just once either. Which means MUCH MUCH less dust floating around me. What this bag takes in, it KEEPS. I really can not see a single piece of dust coming out of this vacuum cleaner.

Lest you think I don't HAVE dust, I have a chocolate lab that produces it's weight every 10 days in shed hair, and a son that is learning to cook. I also live in Texas, so everything aquires a fine patina around here. *smiles*

The bags seem expensive, although Amazon is the cheapest we have found them. It is worth it to me to be able to keep going when my energy is up enough to vacuum, and for the lack of post vacuum dust that remains.

The bags for the Hoover Platinum are fine. They gobble cat litter, cat hair and anything else I run the vacuum over. They haven't split, torn or broken when I have replaced them and they have a closure feature that keeps dust from flying everywhere with changes. Having said all of that, the bags are difficult to attach to the vacuum itself. The release lever is fine but trying to slide and attach the bags is a pain. After purchasing 3 boxes of bags, the vacuum that was barely a year old decided to burn out its motor. So, I am stuck with 2 boxes of bags and a broken vacuum. I am greatly disappointed in Hoover.

I bought the vacuum at my local Walmart, but they don't carry the vacuum or the bags anymore. These bags were exactly the same as those I bought from the store. Very nice, very tidy, hold weeks and weeks of vacuuming after four long-haired cats and four messy kids.

I refused to pay the price that most stores were asking for this product. I saved quite a bit on this purchase and have bags for a while into the future.
