Back in Late Oct, I ordered a 6 pack of HEPA bags and 1 HEPA filter and 1 pack of belts....they are STILL in backorder! I wonder why so long? I've never seen anything on backorder this long....and it's all of the items, not just one.

OK WEIRD!
All this time and I get the package today in the mail. I had emailed a while back asking them if they could check on it for me. They offered to cancel or just let me wait until they were available. I told them just to wait. They said they would update me. I never got anything from them as far as any update. Just suddenly showed up today. I think I'm good for a while. The original HEPA lasted more than 2 years and it took me 2 years through a six pack of bags. It's a bit freaky that I just randomly made a post about this and the next day they show up (LOL) |

It is also possible that materials and manufacturing capacity have been diverted to making personal protective equipment instead of vacuum cleaner bags. Businesses go where demand and profits lead them. If more people are clamoring for masks, then that is what they will make more of, even to the point of exclusivity. The old-school, multi-layer paper bags will likely have to suffice for a while. They're made from different materials and thus are less likely to compete with masks, assuming they're not made on the same production lines. At least the paper bags are generally cheaper than HEPA.

I had 2 bags left in a previous pack. I thought I had used them all. So now I have the bag that is currently in the vacuum, and 8 more unused HEPA bags. I also got a HEPA filter (which I haven't changed yet) I'm hesitant to put the new one in when the current one (even though it's over 2 years old) has air still pouring through it. It's covered in carbon dust but I think I'm going to leave it in a while longer. The bag chamber is always clean so I don't think anything is even going into the HEAP filter except carbon dust.
One thing I will say, I changed the belt to day. What a massive difference! In all the years of owning vacuums, I've never had a vacuum get to the point where I could actually TELL the belt needed to be changed. This belt was terribly stretched or something. It was over a year old.. I'm thinking I'm good for a couple of years or more with this vacuum so hopefully by then it won't be this whole "THING" trying to get supplies by then. |
