My Perfect Canister Bags Arrived!!

[logan]

I got my two boxes of Perfect Canister "C-Style" bags in the mail today. Let me just tell you I am so impressed with their quality that I am going to start using them in all of my Lux's. They are made out of the same hepa material as Miele bags and are very lighweight. Another plus is the card board on them is slightly thicker than genuine Electrlolx bags and is very strong. I won't have to worry about the occassional bag card board imploding when I vacuum causing the machine to squeal and loose suction. I vacuumed my house today with a Model L using one of thse new bags and I couldn't tell any loss of suction where as with a genuine Lux bag I could notice some suction loss after just a few rooms. I could go on and on but I'll stop. Here are some pictures of what they look like. I got them from my long time very close friend Tom Gasko in Festus, MO. I order supplies from him all the time and he was nice enough to order these bags for me. Well anyways, here are some pics.

Here is the back of the box.

Hopefully this is clear enough for everyone to read.

I have to admit something here...I too use and love a model 1205 Lux. It is so smooth and quiet. It has great suction and I only use it on my wood and tile floor. My good friend, Jimmy, (vibrabeat) who I have known for years gave it to me. It was his mother's cleaner. She did not particularly like it so he gave it to me. I thought that was very generous of him. Now, I am a Hoover guy through and through. However, I just love this Lux. I put on a Hoover hose so it uses all of my Hoover Convertible attachments. I also found these great bags distributed by the Hoover Company for any Lux canister. My really good friend Sabrina who worked at the Hoover Employee Sales Center for years put a case of them back for me just before they closed. She too is very generous. But since the thread was about alternative Lux bag options, here are the Hoover versions for all of you Hoover guys out there. No longer do you have to feel that you are a traitor to the Hoover Company! You too can have Hoover filtration in front of that Lux motor!

---you guys do know that this is a joke right????

It is true though that I do use these bags in my Lux just because I have a bunch of them. I can't seem to tell the difference in them. A Lux bag is a Lux bag to me. They all catch dirt in the real world!

I do like the look of those bags for regular Lux use.

I'll get me some next time I'm in America.

Tom, I thank you for your honest appraisal of the smooth & quiet Lux 1205. I heartily approve of your hooverizing the hose and yeah, a Hoover Filter Bag is again, a high compliment to a worthy opponent...er...competitor...um...brand.

As you will read in another post I made tonight, I have come out and declared myself to be quite a Hoover Fan after practical and
'vivisectional' experiance with them.

Tom!

After working at Hoover for 5 years, I, too feel the same way you do about those bags! I think I have a case of them buried in storage. And they're so inexpensive, I don't think twice about changing them after a handful of uses (just like a type-C bag).

I had no idea that Hoover distributed generic Lux bags. Did they also make bags for other machines too? What did Hoover NOT sell back in the day? LOL I think it's very cool that Hoover sold not just vacuums, but blenders, irons, etc. etc. That's a lot more than Electrolux ever did.

P.S. Can you still get those bags? I would like to have a pack of them for my collection.

Dave,
You may live in Canada but you are still in America!

Logan...

Hoover made bags for everyone under the sun. They used to market them under the "Norca" brand with other accessories. Hoover made all kinds of appliances to go head to head with GE. The president of the company declared that he could put GE out of business! How funny! I see now that Electrolux has their name on all kinds of major appliances. Does anyone know if these items are well made or is it just more made in China junk?

Since Logan posted pictures of the bags, I thought I would add a few more of my "perfect Canister" that I purchased from Andy (TurboAce) on Wednesday...
I love it, love it, love it - Opening the carton was like taking a trip back in time to 1987...
