HEPA Bags-Are They Worth The Price?

[madabouthoovers]

Hepa stands for high efficiency particle arrest if I remember correctly.

I don't think HEPA bags are worth it as everytime I've received a HEPA bag in a Kirby I buy, it always ends up torn and spilled even if it's almost a brand new bag. I don't know if that's a Kirby thing or what but I rather spend money on my paper bags then be worried that the bag would be ripped. I'd like to buy the HEPA bags but I'm just afraid to after what I've seen.

Ripped kirby bags?

Are you using Genuine Kirby poly bags Will? I've never seen one of them tear not even when my parents filled one solid in their Legend II.

I thought the cloth HEPA bags were supposed to be harder to tear in a vacuum? I've personally never torn a vacuum bag before.
