I jumped on the "green" bagless band wagon and was sorely disappointed. So I went back to the good old reliable bag. No more having to put on a chem suit to empty the canister then waste water to clean it ever time. With the bag, it's just R&R.

I first learned about these special Hoover Type S Hepa Filter Bags when I recently replaced by five-year-old Hoover canister vacuum with a new Hoovers Centennial WindTunnel. I purposely chose the Hoover Centennial WindTunnel because I had previously stocked-up on four 10-packs of regular Hoovers Type S Bags, and the new model accepts the same Type S size.

I tried both the old green Type S bags as well as the included two new Hepa Filter Type S bags in my new vacuum, and the Hepa bags seem to do a better job of catching all of the dust than the green bags.

So I shopped around for some Hepa bags and purchased a few from amazon.com.

I'll still use the old Type S green bags, but I look forward to transitioning to the Hepa bags once the old Type S's are used up.

My only concern is the price of the Hepa bags, which at about $3.50 each are more than three times more expensive than my old green regular Type S bags. I hope they're worth the price differential.
