Why are Aerus/Lux Type C Bags So Abudant and Cheap Compared to Other Vacuum Bags?

I manage an Aerus franchise in Canada. I can assure you that our bags are made in the U.S.A. It even says that on the box. The inner shield is rubbery, not plain paper, which is why our genuine bags hold in so much more dust than the after market paper bags. I also do most of the repairs here, and I can sure tell when folks have used non-genuine bags. The motors just don't last as long because of that, in my experiences at least.

As far as the "Perfect" bags, I haven't seen one up close yet, but I'd be surprised if they fit properly. I have a customer who has a Perfect vacuum who needed bags and ours just wouldn't fit properly. Our cardboard collar was a tiny bit too small for her canister. Do you guys have to cut that Perfect collar at all to get it to fit the older Electrolux/newer Aerus machines right?

The perfect collar is a bit thicker cardboard

Wouldn't the 'Lux "C" bag qualify as one of those oldest disposable bag designs currently used?Since so many machines were sold that use them-and these vacuums were so durable and repairable-explains why the "C" bag is still with us today-something like half century old!
