Hey all,

A month or so ago, I bought a package of Hoover Type A HEPA bags from an eBay seller.
Now that I have two top fill Convertibles, I decided to order a second package.
I don't know why, since the Convertibles probably won't get enough use to fill one bag in my lifetime.

But anyway, when I received the first package, I was pleasantly surprised to see that they were made in USA.
The second package, which just got delivered yesterday, says Made in China.

Anyone know if they still make them here, and you just get whichever package the seller randomly grabs, or did I get one of the last American made packages the first time around?
If that's the case, and I knew that ahead of time, the hoarder in me probably would have kept the USA ones unopened, and just stuck them away!
As you can see, the USA bag is Copyrighted 2009.
In hindsight, I'm guessing they're no longer made here, and probably an increasingly rare sight.

bag plant, "Plant 2". No longer are bags made here. I was at the paper bag plant twice, seeing them roll off the line.

And yes they are just paper bags, I do prefer the hepa mostly, but I have never had issue with those bags leaking before that I can ever remember

I wish I had waited to open the package.
I would have just stashed them away and used the Chinese bags.

A Google search only turned up one old thread from this website!

A lot of sellers buy wholesale so they will just buy crates of something and then sit on it and sell it one at a time. I'm sure they got an old case from their supplier who found it as old stock and they got thrown up for sale and you just got lucky and got one from an older case.
