In my Hoover Constellation and Slimline I use a pack of genuine Hoover J bags that I got from a thrift store. It says 1985 on the package. I also have some generic DVC bags but haven't used these.
For my Eureka 1934A I use the Arm & Hammer F&G bags. I really like these, they seem to filter well and don't smell for a long time. I would be hesitant to use these in a canister or clean air upright, because I'm not sure whether the Arm & Hammer powder could get sucked into the motor.
On my Kenmore canisters I've been using the genuine C/5055 allergen bags. I liked the yellow colored paper, but when they switched to the white paper a few years ago I haven't liked these as much. They seem thinner and I just changed the bag the other day and noticed it was very dusty looking.
Being as we're down to our last package of bags we got before Sears closed, I went ahead and ordered some Kenmore Q HEPA cloth bags on eBay. Price was a lot cheaper than Sears and hopefully these should work better. I have a Kenmore cloth HEPA bag in my Kenmore upright and I have been pleased so far, so hopefully the canister ones work well.
I have seen the VEVA cloth bags on eBay and heard good things about these, but they don't seem as prevalent as they were last year.
For my Hoover Celebrity I got some genuine H bags on eBay. They are in the newer black and white packaging but the bags are still green. Hopefully these will work well.
I've noticed locally, my Lowes and Walmart sell the Febreeze bags. Haven't tried these but I did get some for a Bissell upright I have. Heard these filter well for what they are. Very few styles available though, mostly Hoover A, Kenmore C/5055, Electrolux C and S, Bissell Style 7, and well, that's about it.
The only place I've seen genuine bags locally is at ACE Hardware. They sell genuine Hoover bags and I think Eureka too. Prices are a bit high, but not that much higher than Lowes.
