I have had the same experience you have heard of with the Miracle Mate bags, that they clog prematurely. I don't have this problem when using Tristar bags with a bag top from a Miracle Mate bag. And yes, you will need the top from a Miracle Mate bag to form a proper seal, as others have said.
If you are worried about the Tristar bags letting more dust through, then just buy the Tristar microfiltration bags, and not the plain paper ones. If you have dogs or cats & are picking up lots of hair, the bags should last a little bit longer, as it's the fine dust & sand that causes the bags to clog & dust to stick to the sides of the bag. Rob BTW- welcome to the forum, I am sure you will enjoy it here. |

The Envirocare bags have a micro lining. I think they do a good job. Although, the area directly in front of the vacuum motor will get blasted with sand and grit and wear through the micro lining. I've heard of people putting a piece of cardboard there and securing it between the lid and bag chamber in order to avoid that problem. I also use the genuine Tristar bags. It doesn't have a lining and it lets more dust to leak through. You can tell by looking at the cloth bag. I haven't used the brand in the link you posted.
