By keeping the HEPA filter clean, these bags allow the shop vac to vacuum at full power until the bag is completely full. You have to spin the bag around 180 degrees so that the ends of the bag will slide past the hose connection. Changing bags is much less work (and done much less often) than cleaning the HEPA filter.There's a trick to getting a full bag out of the vacuum.
They fall apart when the slightest bit wet or when they get full. Not a good product unless you keep it dry and empty it when it is half full, doubling the cost.
Does a great job in keeping drywall and plaster dust in the bag and my vacuum container clean. Well worth the money and convenience when emptying my vacuum, especially after a remodel project.
They do not strain the machine, even when they are getting full. They hold a LOT of debris without shredding, even when picking up sharp objects. These bags are strong. I've gotten them wet too (I have a Shop-Vac 90340-00 CleanStream filter in the canister to permit water pickup), and as long as you let it dry out before removing it from the canister, it won't fall apart on you. By the way, I use them in this machine which I also highly recommend: Shop-Vac 925-45-10 10 Gallon Stainless Steel/6.25 HP Contractor Duty Wet/Dry Vacuum. Even though they are so resilient, they breathe well.
I have been using a Dremal drill to remove old bathroom tile grout and replacing it with fresh clean white grout. It all stays in the bag. If you work around fine dust or have to wear a mask then try these great bags. I use this bag along with the HEPA washable filter and I am amazed how well it works. Plus, the bag holds a large amount of debris so I can use it for many other jobs before having to replace the bag.
I use this combination whenever I remove grout. It makes the bathroom look brand new like I just retiled. Before using these bags the vacuum blew out very fine dust which landed all over the furniture in the other room. But now, there is no dust at all.
