EOM bags

[suckolux]

Just a question guys, any idea of plies or type of filtering on oem Lux bags from a few years back? I drug in the Silverado to inside the house, played a while, back to the garage. My eyes and nose were running after a while, little Miele action, all gone. I know there was tree fuzz in the lux bag, but they were oem, is that just not that great? They are still in the dealer box I bought them in 15 years ago, look new.

I am always amazed

at how much dust escapes through the pores of lux bags, and why Electrolux (U.S.) did away with the secondary filter. On the Canadian machines that I have, the after motor filter catches a great deal of fine particulates which have escaped the bag and are produced by the motor brushes. If you suffer from allergies, no doubt that using a machine such as the Silverado, which IIRC has no after-motor filter, your symptoms would worsen during use. I at one time had a Super J as well as a Silverado, and parted with them for this very reason.

Sure Thing or Germ Grabber bags???

Where the bags either of the above?? If so, I can probably find some specs on them for you.

If you want a good filtering bag for your lux vacuum, go and buy some Perfect brand hepa bags, the filtration is phenomenal.

Ops, just looked at the box, genuine 24 4 ply filter bags! Bought from the door to door 15 years ago with the new hose.

Electrolux Bags

I just bought some new Electrolux bags from an Aerus dealer in Billings Montana.. The girl on the phone said the new Blue Lux bags are thicker and filter better then the old brown or yellow (germ grabber) bags do. I put one of the new ones in my Gaurdian but I can't see where they are thicker then the old ones. I guess we will wait and see how they filter..
