I just received these bags, but the brand was NOT Envirocare as advertised -- it was Crucial Vacuum, a cheap Chinese knock-off (of a generic!). I've been having this problem with vacuum parts through Amazon where vendors ship out much cheaper, inferior parts than what's pictured and hope that most people don't complain. Amazon is not doing an adequate job of keeping tabs on these vendors, and they are making a mint off of these cheap, inferior bags.

I e-mailed the vendor to complain and they are sending out the correct brand, but really, why should I have to do that? If this happens to you, please complain to Amazon as well -- it's their responsibility to screen out vendors, especially when they rotate vendors through as the primary supplier (so feedback left for one may be attributed to another).

These vacuum bags are just as good if not better than the "name brand" bags you buy at your local store. I hate going from store to store looking for the correct vacuum bag. Save yourself some time and money and stock up. The money you save on these bags will pay for the shipping.

There is little information easily available to figure out which vacuum uses which bag. The Hoover Tempo Widepath U5140-900 bagged upright vacuum came with this bag, and fortunately, it is the same bag that my old Hoover Wind Tunnel also used. Never had any problem with them over a period of eight years. They are sturdy and reliable, not bursting suddenly and flooding the room with dirt, when used properly. Highly recommended.

The bag is sensitive you have to be careful putting it in otherwise it will block some the suction.

Look, to tone down those who say that the bag is not HEPA, 'reality check' nowhere on the bag does it say HEPA. I have used these bags and for the price they are great. As one reviewer states "It's good to have inexpensive cloth instead of the paper" AMEN. I just finished using my almost new Hoover Tempo Widepath U5140-900 (on sale $59 excellent value)to clean the fine remaining ash in my fireplace, my previous bag would have allowed the fine particles to escape... this bag did not - Kudos! For the money, Highly Recommended.

Basic item replacement that has nothing outstanding about it. Careful when ordering and price comparing because the company I ordered from did not give a discount for multiple packs, i.e. S&H was added for each pack. Thought I'd stockpile to save a few bucks but all I did was use my storage space.

These are just as good as the factory bags from Hoover. Actually, I like them better, due to the added feature of the closure tab that seals the bag after it's full. No more fine dust "puffing" out of the bag when you throw it away!

This is a good replacement for collecting dirt. The only problem is that it is not as thick as the original bag included with the vacuum. When removing the bad, it seems to let out more dirt than the normal vacuum. For those people who have trouble with dust, I would recommend going with the better bag. Otherwise, this is a good replacement.

The bags are good quality construction (compared to some other generic type Y bags I got at my local supermarket) and there is a unique sticker system when allows you to seal off the opening after the bag fills and you remove it. I am not sure how useful, but you can close up the hole before putting it into a trash can.

The see through strip running up the front seems interesting and for the annoying compulsive neurotic aspects of my personality, it give me a chance to see the details of all the gross stuff I've vacuumed up.

Definitely NOT the ones to buy anymore.. Any of these older paper type "Y" bags (whatever they call them. In this case "micro-filtration") are famous for coming apart at the glued seams.. Hoover superseded them with their new complete plastic bags that are manufactured with "heat-sealed" seams, that never come apart.. The better ones are called Hoover part number 4010801Y.. They also have many other benefits over these older paper bags, invented in the 1950's. Namely the newer 4010801Y type "Y" bag also filters out smaller particles, fits into the vacuum easier and better, and contains more dirt. Don't be fooled into buying paper bags using catch names other than the word paper: Like "micro-filtration".. The newer plastic 4010801Y (also called part# 43655082) are HEPA rated to trap 99.97% of dust and pollens down to 0.3 microns.. The old ones don't come anywhere near that.. They fit all type "Y".. Once you use them, you will never switch back!
