Mystery Sears Bags

[fantomfan57]

Hi,

does anyone know what vacuum these bags are designed to fit?

Designated 20_5007.

Is this for an RCA Whirlpool Kenmore? Looks like some sort of off-set design.

Found this..

Looks like this is the one...

Nope. Those are 5010 bags in the Whispertone.

Thanks.....

I will keep searching and ask my vacuum shop friends.

If anyone remembers what machine these fit, please let me know.

i think those are rca whirpool imperial bags, i have a friend who collects 50 and 60's kenmores, ii ask him, he might know. sears usually didnt manuafacture bags for other brands than thier own, though

NO

Whirlpool Imperial bags are the same as 5009 Kenmore bags, they are U shaped, 5008 bags are for the First Whispertone, 5010 for the second.

Perhaps the 5007 bags are actually meant for the Whispertone cleaner, shown in Reply #1? Somehow the bag that is fitted in that photo doesn't appear to sit properly.

I presume that the motor is offset to the side; therefore the 5007 bag would be offset to the opposite side, expanding to fill the available space.

It is also not unknown for a bag to be redesigned during the life of the machine. That happened to the Hoover Aquamaster/Aquaplus/Module900 machines. The original Hoover H16 bag was similar to the long Kenmore 5007 design. It was redesigned to the format shown in the pic, below.

Richard...

that is not a picture of my machine. But I agree, whoever that vacuum belongs to is very fortunate. I would love to have one.

Thanks so far.

Looks like this question has been posed before. A note on the package says, "Sears Also Has a Replacement Hose for Your Vacuum Cleaner". The image shows a lady using a hose and dusting attachment vacuuming some drapes. And it does say CANISTER VACUUM CLEANER.
Models: 0643, 0663, 0673, 1650, 1650-1, 1670, 1670-1, 1675-1, 1730-1, 1740. I do not recognize these model numbers.

Anyone?

Those bags are no mystery. They fit the 1960 - 1962 Kenmore canister with no attachment holder. It was turquoise in color.

Dysonman1,

Do you have that vacuum cleaner and/or can you attach a picture to this thread?
