    Purple Air-Way Vacuum

    Since I live nearby, dsmiller sent me a Vita Mix Vac pink vacuum bag to try out in my purple air way. It is cloth-like and seems similar to the Air-Tec bag (maybe they are the same but different colors? I don't know...) Well, I vacuumed my whole house (2652 sq ft 1 story) using the Vita Vac bag...

    Purple Air-Way Vacuum

    I did get an email from Charlie and I called him. We talked for a bit and he told me that I will be just fine with the Air-Tec bags and that is what he would have recommended anyway. He did tell me that basically the owner of Air-Tec was a former employee of Air-Way quite a while back. He opened...

    Purple Air-Way Vacuum

    Thankfully the company I first ordered bags from said they would take back the one set that had not been opened. I just ordered some bags from Air-Tec. Another member said they ordered bags from Charlie here on the boards and that they are from the maker of Black Knight. I did find a thread...

    Scott - If you would like to drop some by to let me test them, let me know. :-) Then I will at least know where I can buy GOOD bags in town.

    Purple Air-Way Vacuum

    Scott -- I'm right down the road from you in Richardson. The ones I ordered are white. I thought they looked a bit thin when I got them. I'm glad I did the double bag thing, but they STILL let dust through. Very frustrating...I will be interested in knowing how the two sets of bags do for you...

    Chris - Are you referring to the AlleRx bags or what they call the MeltBlown bags?

    Purple Air-Way Vacuum

    Thanks for that link. I also found the link from 2006 when the Air-way bag maker machine died. I obviously had loaded up on bags before that happened in 2006 and just ran out recently. Ugh! Don't know what to do. I can use these bags, but I'm afraid it will shorten the life of my vacuum since it...

    Purple Air-Way Vacuum

    Air-way vacuum bags I just ordered some Air-way vacuum bags from Vac Shac in Festus, MO where I ordered my Purple Air-Way from in 2000. The guy said air-way no longer made 28 layer bags and said he would send me 14 layer bags and that I should just cut the top off of one bag and put the other...

    Purple Air-Way Vacuum

    Ok, maybe the rest of you knew this because I am not out here a lot, but I was just shocked to find out that Air-Way is no longer in business! From what I understand, some companies have scrambled to get some bags made to the air-way standard. Anyone know of a company that might have some of the...

    Air-Way items - where to buy

    Oh, Charlie? Are you out there? Hey Charlie...can you get the replacement bristle strips that go on the powerhead also <br I've ordered bags from the air-way website before (the 28 layer allergy bags), but they kinda get ya with shipping (ie. if I order two 12pks of bags, their shipping is $10...

    Air-Way items - where to buy

    I am needing to get more of the allergy bags and also wanted to replace just the bristle strips on the powerhead. Where can I get all of these? (NOTE: I have the Tom Gasko purple anniversary edition.) I believe I actually ordered straight from Tom but can't seem to track down his number again to...
