Viking /Electrolux vacuum cleaners.

Upon obtaining a Viking v720. I came across an old thread on vacuum land referencing a 739 machine and also came across a very old YouTube video with what appear to be White HEPA looking bags inside it.
I've looked around the internet and not seen these HEPA bags for sale anywhere. However I was able to find plenty of paper bags. Was wondering if anybody knew what the HEPA bag style are referred to as or has any for sale?

Video I talked about.

That’s mine

I saved the info from where the person obtained the hepa bags, they were from the UK if I remember correctly

@ctvacman Thanks for replying I figured you'd be on here. I searched eBay UK and EU and came up with nothing.but if you have a seller or a different place I would love to hear!

@eurekaprince Thank you!

You're welcome!

There are other European bag makers that offer these kind of high filtration bags for this model. It seems that the key for your search is to use the UK description of the vacuum: Electrolux Turbomatic. And it looks like the bag style you want is called E6.

Always thought it was cool that Swedish Electrolux exported a 120 volt version of one of their popular European cylinder cleaners, married it to a Eureka Express nozzle and branded it Viking in the USA and Dometic in Canada. Does the cleaner perform well?

@eurekaprince yeah I figured that out from your link thank you so much again. It'll probably be a month or two before I'll have a video to post on it.

But from one another friend of mine said it is pretty powerful. after taking it apart and putting it back together it's really innovative for its time.
Currently awaiting bags before I can try it.
