Envirocare Bags

[kirbyman65]

Hello,
Quick question. A lot of times friends or family need vacuum bags from me. A lot of time I give them envirocare branded bags. Are they as good as the genuine ones?
Thanks

Only ones I can think of are the R20/S20 bags, wouldn't be surprised if they're made by the same company as the genuine bags.

I hear that some are good and some are bad.

I’ve only bought one package of bags that were Envirocare, they were paper Panasonic upright bags. The first bag I used broke in the machine after one use. I have not tried their hepa bags. I believe that I have also heard somewhere that they make the Tacony bags for the Vibrance/Symmetry.

Envirocare was the most common brand of bag we sold at the shop. They were decent for paper bags. They also had allergen bags which resembled hepa bags. At the top right of the package there was a number if you added A before that number that would be the allergen variant if it was available. for Example Hoover Y paper is 856 and the allergen ones are A856.
We did used to buy Simplicity paper A and B bags in bulk, many of our commercial customers used them for the carpet pros. For whatever reason the boxes of bulk bags were backordered multiple times so we just ordered envirocare bags a few times. They were quite similar
