Congratulations on your purchase! However...
Since your S8 Kona is new, I would avoid all aftermarket bags. Using bags from third-party manufacturers will likely void your warranty.
While I do not have experience with the 3M branded bags (3M name simply licensed to EHCPNA), I have had bad experiences with several EHCPNA branded melt blown polypropylene bags leaking dust into the bag chamber and pre-motor filter. Personally, since you understand and appreciate the benefits of purchasing a quality, high-end machine, I would avoid the temptation of saving a few dollars by purchasing knock-offs. My fourteen Miele's all use genuine bags exclusively and all remain immaculately clean. | ||

Beko - the Miele Hyclean bags come in boxes of 4 now - Miele reduced the box size to increase profits. Sign of the times :-( | ||

Don't do it! Quality control is the problem. Never really know what you are getting with generic. Might be just as good as OEM but may not. Since you just bought the Vacuum, paid good money for it, protect your warranty by buying original bags. Shop internet for deals. | ||

There was a previous thread concerning the filtration aspect of Miele's HyClean bags. See link below.
Sam is right about Miele dust bags in terms of 5 in a box - they're the older Intensive Clean ones. I buy them from time to time. I have not noticed any difference to them compared to the self-sealing ones but they are a better bargain for the 5 compared to 4. Its like Bosch - they offer 4 bags for their smaller canister vacs and the same machine with the John Lewis label on it plus JL's own bags are available in 5 bags for the same price! Utter madness.
