What type of bags do you use for your Kirby's and whats your thought about them?
I use Generation 3 bags with my Ultimate G Diamond Edition since they were 80¢ on Amazon.
I also have a Sentria with the cloth synthetic HEPA bags I just ordered but I think should've bought the odor fighter bags instead because I have a dog that sheds every where including the stairs.

Cheap paper bags are all you really need...

I use Generation 3 and Envriocare bags in mine. Both work just fine. I'm not terribly allergy prone nor am I germ-o-phobic; in fact, I believe having a little dirt in our lives is quite healthy, thus I'm not at all worried about HEPA micro-particulate filtration and don't view those fancy bags as a worthwhile expense.

@human It matters to me but not by too much

Even though dirt is naturally in our everyday lives, I have REALLY bad allergy problems as my dog constantly brings in stuff from the outside and I always get congested with that type of stuff like dead skin, pollen and pet dander. In the future i'd probably buy the odor fighter bags as I just purchased a Pet Owners Brushroll for My Sentria.

Yeah, it sounds like you would find them beneficial than I. That's why I qualified my statement the way I did. I just take a couple of snorts of fluticasone proprionate (aka Flonase) every morning and I'm breathing free all day long.

I use the hepa cloth bags in the Diamond.They get a bit stale smelling as it takes forever for me to fill them, so I pass them to a friend with dog.

At first I've used the G4/G5 Micron Magic type paper bags, then I later upgraded to using the G6/Ultimate G Micron Magic HEPA type paper bags. Now I'm thinking about switching to using HEPA type cloth bags for a few reasons: HEPA type paper bags have been discontinued, holds alot more dirt, and wouldn't clog up as much as paper bags.

I used to use the Kirby Micron Magic paper bags in my Sentria and in my G3. Since my wife has a bad asthma problem and is allergic to pollen and cat dander (we have a cat) I started using the Kirby white cloth type HEPA bags in both the Sentria and G3.

 

I must say that making that change has made a noticeable improvement in her asthma symptoms. So to me the extra expense of the HEPA bags is definitely worth it.

I Don't Use Any of Them

All the Kirbys that I use have shake-out bags. No need for disposable bags! Even my 1984 Kirby Heritage 84 has the optional shake-out bag system.
