Message: <blockquote data-quote="jo" data-source="post: 422774" data-attributes="member: 4735">I have some of the Multi filter brand bags, maybe those are the DVC ones? They don’t say DVC and came in plastic packaging branded “Rubbermaid”.  Also have some of the same multi filter brand one in plastic package from Home Care Products. My Sister has some that say “Air Plus 4 ply” on them she got from her local general vacuum store. Maybe those are DVC? Anyway... I happened to be digging through my supply tubs and saw the two packages of Home Solutions bags yesterday and looked more closely at them. Interestingly enough one has the blue tape at the bottom and the other does not, instead the bottom is folded and glued bag material. The package that has the folded glued seam also has a slightly different finish and ink style on the cardboard top and also the backside of the cardboard is also blue and the others have a nice glossy print and finish to the top of the bag and the ink printing is definitely nicer but the backside of the cardboard bag too is uncolored brown cardboard color.  So....somewhere along the line these home solutions bags are being changed it seems. Just can’t tell which one is the most current. I couldn’t find a date on either package or the coupons and ads the aerus store included with the bags.  The package that is folded is unopened clear plastic, the other with the blue strip had been opened by the previous owner and 3 bags used out of it and it too is clear plastic. Assuming both were 25 packs because the one still sealed has 25 in it. I think when the bags are sold by Aerus in the 100 pack quantity you get 4 clear plastic packages of 25 bags but if they were bought together it would seem odd that they would all not be the same unless it was during the time the change in style occurred.On another note...I always liked the size of the Electrolux canister bags, big enough to not need frequent changing, but small enough to hold a significant amount of dirt by the time the bag starts smelling bad and you’d want to change it anyway regardless of whether it’s full or not so you don’t feel like you’re throwing away a bag that has more room and life in it Bihar because it smells from old dirt. And for those who have Multiple shedding pets, big enough to get through at least one or two full housecleanings depending on quantity of pets and size of the home.</blockquote>
