Best and worst aftermarket brand of bags?

[mariotron]

Just a little fun question here.
I genuinely use HEPA OEMs when it comes to my Kirby aftermarket when it comes to other brands especially Bissell and my Ridgid shop vacs i gotten after market. Some pretty good some made really thin and prone to tears and poor filtering.

One good one I found for Bissell was the Clean fairy style 7 HEPA bags which are MILES better than the OEM and Fabreeze ones. Not just filtering but last overall longer because of the cloth vs the paper.

Any other brands you guys used that were just as good if not better than OEM? And what brands do you NOT recommend?

DVC makes very good synthetic HEPA dust bags. Casa Vacuums does too with one exception, their Style P bag for the Aerus Guardian Platinum has too thin a mounting card and caves in when you shut the lid. But otherwise their synthetic bags are five layer and very good. Menalux and Swirl are two brands you don't see in the US but they also sell synthetic HEPA dust bags for a lot of older vacuums that were never sold with a synthetic bag. If you have a Swedish made Eureka like the S6982/83/84 Home Cleaning System or Europa, all Eureka sold were miserable leaky paper bags. Menalux has synthetic bags that fit since the Swedish Eurekas all have a European counterpart. I buy their bags through fhp.fi in Finland, though I have not tried to buy anything since Jupiter ( the orange colored gas giant ) instituted tariffs.
