For me, I prefer having two separate vacs - an upright for carpet cleaning and a canister for everything else. As a result, I don't have a problem with small bags for the canister since it does not fill rapidly with carpet fluff. My Hoover Platinum Lightweight upright has a very large bag that handles large volumes of carpet fluff like any classic fan-first Eureka or Hoover upright.
Indeed, small bags would for sure be a problem with power nozzle canisters. | ||

Owners of new vacuums must have to change bags all the time | ||

Sebo bags
Nar, I'm just about to replace the bag on the Sebo X1.1 that we bought in January for the first time. I'm really pushing it at the moment, I'm determined I can squeeze a bit more in it. That's from an all carpeted, 3 story house with a long haired cat.
Based on the bags lasting 4-6 months, that means a pack of 8 bags should last about 3 years. | ||

It's true
The old Kenmore 5033 bags were quite large. However, being made of a single ply of cellulose, the pores clogged very fast. I remember those vacuums when they were new. The bag couldn't really get more than half full before all the airflow was lost. The HEPA bags have no direct pores, so the air has to weave its way through. Better filtration, and the pores don't clog like the old paper bags. I use a Simplicity type H bag in my Kenmore that uses 5033 bags. While the bag doesn't fill the compartment, it does fill the bag solidly.

Dysonman, thanks. That was modern vacuum bag that made me start looking. I saw an image of one with the rubber seal and thought it might be a good candidate for the old Kenmore. I guess I will reconsider and try a couple for giggles. Thanks again. | ||

Good to hear Turbo500 & sebo_fan your getting great dust capacity and length of time used from your SEBO bags. That's good going sebo_fan in your X1 with the new ultra synthetic bags 6 months, looks like a big heavy brick too!! Look forward to see how long the bigger bag capacity will be for me when I get an X series. My 1st synthetic bag on my Felix lasted 5 months and the 2nd one just changed last just over 3 months rob ably used the vacuum more having a dog. You sound like me Turbo500 pushing the bag capacity see how much you can get out of it. Good tip to sebo_fan with the crevice tool might try that! It still surprises me now how much dust and dirt you get into these SEBO bags and how well they compress the dust too! Here's a picture of the bag I've change last week.
