Bags for an odd little vac

[justjunque]

Hi all,

I'm just revisiting the little Westinghouse Porta-Vac that I picked up at a thrift store a while back.
It's not something that I plan on using, and it didn't even come with a hose or anything. I bought it because it was in good condition, cheap, and I had never seen anything like it.
It does run perfectly, although the suction is nothing to write home about.
Despite it not being something I'm going to use, part of me would like to replace the smelly, crumbling paper bag. The vacuum has a cloth bag that the paper bag fits into. And, since I'm not using it, there's not really a dire need for it to have a new bag in it.
But, if anyone happens to know of a bag that would fit it, I'd like to freshen it up a little.
Thanks!

Barry

you can possibly use a Hoover

"short housing" bag for a Handivac OR the Pixie.
I'll have to look at mine better.
It might do the trick.

Compact

A compact/TriStar has same diameter of the bag the edges would line up with circular part of the bag.
The Hoover port a vac and mighty mite bad gs might work too.

The HOOVER Type "G"

is the one for the Pixie/Handivacs.
Yes, also look at the ones for "Portapower".

If it would work, and you need one,

I'd gladly send you one OR two.

Thanks, all. I'll look into those.

If you want a modern “synthetic fleece” bag, you could cut the top off a Sebo X or Felix bag and try that.
