Update 3 Jan 2012

I'm back to order more of these. We've used all 9 bags and have been very happy with them. I've really come to appreciate the seal over the intake hole - it's a nice little extra. No complaints with these bags at all.

For some reason I've found it hard to find vacuum cleaner bags for my Kenmore vacuum, without going into Sears that is. The ones Sears sells are much more expensive too. They are cloth HEPA bags which adds to the cost, but that's more filtration than we need. With 3 kids and 4 cats, a HEPA bag isn't going to do much for the air quality in our house.

These bags are good mid-level bags. They're not as high-end as HEPA cloth bags like these bags which go for over $1 per bag, but I figure they're a step above these, at just over 60˘ a bag. From lowest to highest filtration level, the scale seems to go from micro-filtration to allergen filtration to HEPA.

The bags fit our Kenmore vacuum cleaner fine and they perform well. The dirt sensor light behaves as it always did and the "performance indicator" light is off, which is a good thing. A nice feature in the tape closure built into every bag. More than once I've put a full bag in the trash, pushed down to compress the trash, and been rewarded with a plume of dust in my face from the bag's intake hole. The tape closure prevents that.

I've got no complaints about this bag - the vacuum cleaner seems to do just as well with the pet hair around the house.

Bags are perfect for my Kenmore Vaccuum Cleaner and fit just right. Excellent price from Amazon compared to all others selling the same product!

These generic bags fit my Kenmore vacuum well. The bags are sturdy and seem to work just as well as the original bags that came with my vacuum.

True, these aren't nearly the same quality as the Sears Hepa Cloth bags, but they get the job done for a fraction if the cost! I'm happy with 'em.

The bags are what was advertised. They are a little thinner than the original but I can't see that it affects the dust retention much.

They fit my vacuum cleaner and they contain the dirt--what more could I ask? They come with a tab that you can use to seal the bag when you are done--I am not sure I see a lot of value in that feature--but maybe someone would.

My current bag is a cloth bag. These ones are paper. Definitely not as good as the cloth
