Interesting I would have said maybe give a tristar a whirl, but it looks like you have a partriot or something like that in your collection already. Maybe give a used filter queen a whirl, they can be picked up for cheap. CLICK HERE TO GO TO mylesrom's LINK | ||

With all the Miele's I've serviced over the years I've never seen that.
Recently within the past 2 years they did change their vacuum back around yet again something they do every few years. I've included photos of the previous style next to a full one from my house with two cats and a Chowski dog. If I had to guess the force of the Miele motor is allowing the animal hair to penetrate like a spear. Or upon opening to check the bag hair is flying out. Whichever it is I have two solutions. 1. BBQ the animal.😉 2. Search for the older style of bag and hoard them. Till the next revision of bags come out. I'd like to note the vacuum bags are made by "Bruno filter" 🇩🇪 I'm sure I spelled that wrong,anyways they make the bags for a lot of different vacuum cleaners including Numatic and MD . Which I've included pictures as well hope that helps. | ||

Brano Filter
We had this customer with a White Pearl who refused to buy anything but the paper bags for it, we’d actually have to order them just for her. She SWORE up and down that her pet’s hair (don’t remember if it were dog or cat) would leak out of the bag. I never saw it happen, but eventually she traded that Miele in on a new one and as far as I know, she’s using it with the newer bags and no issues.
Our dog Sammy has a similar hair, short, completely straight hairs, no corkscrew to it at all. Honestly I haven’t used my Mieles all that much in the last few years since we got her, it’s been mostly the central vac. I suppose I might as well examine that bag and then see about putting some fresh Miele bags in some Mieles, and filling them up around the house... | ||

I don't have any advice on bags, but I wanted to ask how you did the toilet paper tube on the Panasonic? I've heard of this but wondering how you put it in.
Also, I wanted to add, on those canisters, it's recommended that you take the hose off the wands when storing them upright like that. It puts stress on the hose at the wand end and can cause cracks in the hose over time. It's best to just loosely coil them when not in use. | ||

That stinks... I have short thin pointy hair with our puggle (pug/beagle) and have not seen such an issue with my Miele C3 or U1 nor my Sebo Felix. | ||

I have experienced this in the past, it is definitely dependent on the breed of dog as you mentioned. I used to live with a boyfriend who had a Rottweiler, her short hair pierced bags with ease. I don't really think that searching for an older version of the Miele bags is a reasonable option, I also doubt it would provide the result you're looking for.
Some bags have a plastic piece opposite of the intake hole in order to decrease the chance of piercing the bag on impact. It seems like the Miele bag would be perfect if it had this, as most of the hair seems to pierce the bag right as it enters the machine. A central vacuum may be a good option actually, although it may not be feasible. I prefer bagged units, but a "true cyclonic" unit may actually be the best bet. A relatively sizable amount of dirt goes through the fan and gets exhausted outdoors, but at least the motor is designed to handle it without being damaged. | ||

I have never had that issue with having a cat or taking care of a my parents Pug/Rat Terrier mix dog. Not even my mom has had that issue and we both have Kirby's. Our machines use the older style bags on one machine and the newer cloth type F bag on the Sentria models we both have. | ||

On rare occasions I have had my pubic or chest hairs from my "man pelt" go thru bags-not enough to be a problem happens when the bag is full. | ||

@kirby519 from what OP is suggesting is the force of the vacuum is causing the hair to go through. Dirty air machines like Kirby don't have the force to do this.
Think about it I Kirby has about 21"of working vacuum and about 30" sealed. Where a Miele s8/c3 has 50" working and 85-100" sealed depending on altitude. Though I'm still not certain that the hair isn't from opening and closing the bag compartment a bunch of times. There's really not enough information to rule anything out. | ||
