The MD Silentmaster CV unit I have can use two types of woven bags-An open top one or a completely closed version.The enclosed is easier to replace.The open one is like a GIANT TriStar bag.You replace it when about half full so you can wad the upper neck of the bag over the dust.-then use like a handle to lift out of the machine.Then install a new bag.They are held in by a rubber collar at the top of the bag.The enclosed bag does not use a coller-the open bag holds like 12 gal of debris-the enclosed one about 8.

yeah, I don't know why they do that. It's just about as bad as cleaning out a "bagless". Dust gets on the exposed parts of the inside of the machine and the lid top. And why you pull the bag out dust will become air-borne. Plus you have the rubber piece to clean.
It's like a piece of history that's no longer complete still existing in "the modern world" lol

venting outside
Actually, the only central vacuums that you have to vent outside are true cyclonic ones, and I would suggest avoiding those since they're bagless and when you dump them out it's a big mess. Also, with these units, you have some of the dust going through the motor. With bagged central vacuum units, you don't have any of these issues. I use all of my central vacuum units without pipes, just connect the hose directly to them, the power is awesome.

I remember
When I was using my Vacuflo I had to keep the screen clean in between dumping the bucket and when I did dump the bucket in the woods, there was a huge dust cloud but now that I'm using a Cyclovac Constructor it's great, just change the bag and go plus it's still vented outside because the smell of the bag was leaving the garage not smelling so well.

One of the HUGE advantages of a CV is the ability to vent outside.
Especially when we are talking, these days, about a world filled with a deadly air borne virus, you want to vacuum and vent outside to get rid of air borne toxins.
Even when I've lived temporary I would open the window and hang a hose or pipe out the window a distance to get rid of that exhaust air.
