Where is everyone getting bags??? I have the same model, though I don't remember what number is etched on the plate (the machine is packed away at present). I don't use it, as I am out of bags. Anyone have advice as to where I can find a stash of bags for this machine? Joe | ||

Air-Way 80th Anniversary Joe, Contact Charlie Watrous for bags. He is a club member. He has gotten them for me and some other people who have Air-Ways and are not vac collectors. They fit perfect and work great. | ||

Bags
The tragedy is that the original Air-Way bags were cellulose. I had some pale green generic bags, but they didn't filter like the originals. There was dust in the machine after the first use, and that didn't happen after decades of use with original bags. So, I regard Air-Way, unfortunately, as a complete loss unless someone has a supply of original bags.

More about bags... Thanks on the info about possible bag replacements. My fear is that what is out there today won't filter like the originals. My machine is as clean inside as it was the day that I got it from the factory. Joe | ||

Rob, Your Air-Way is gorgeous, it makes me think I may want to find one. I love the Power Nozzle too, it looks similar to the Kenmore powernozzles of the 90's. Sam | ||

air way bags
I use a air way saniclean in the garage with genuine air way bags and the fine dirt from the garage floor tracked in by the car goes through even the genuine bags which makes me wonder if they are as good as everyone says. I was absolutely shocked after changing the bag since I have always heard they leaked no dust. ps the bag was not torn in any way.

That power nozzle is a Panasonic same as the Kenmore and you can still order original bags from Vita Mix but they are expensive. | ||
