Sounds like a defective product. |

Maybe what eVacuumstore is selling you is old stock, or perhaps where they store it has degraded the product? I have ordered from eVacuumstore before and I do not see them as a scammy company. I'd explain your situation and see if they might send you a replacement (might have the same problem).
Just to experiment, I'd try ordering the same product from someone else entirely as well to see if that would happen too. www.amazon.com/Riccar-Hep... If it still happens after that it might be either rough fitment, or something with the connection spout on your vacuum (rough plastic perhaps?), or just poor quality control in whatever - whenever - that batch was made. I've had vacuum belts brand new snap apart when trying to fit them, it happens. Also maybe Riccar is at fault and has cheapened the materials into substandard quality. |

Makes sense - this vacuum is at least a couple decades old, I'm sure they are losing money on every box of bags before they leave the factory - so they look for any way they can lose less money and first thing to do is use less product and then use more substandard product.
This vacuum is more of a copy of Panasonic's MC-series uprights, perhaps can try what HEPA bags are available for Panasonic's models (I think they are type U...3 if I remember?) |

Riccar HEPA type f bags are probably the best vacuum bags I've ever used. The type B does fit rather awkwardly. The VAC brand HEPA bags if there similar in quality to the IEC TriStar bags there right up there in quality.
I go to the thrift store and if I find a bag of vacuum bags I always buy them. I think I have like 60 Panasonic bags that I use on my riccar 8965. If the bag fits use it. |

Duly noted. Looks like it’s time to leave a bad review on the website where I got them. Not the websites fault, of course, but Tacony‘s for using such poor quality glue to hold the bag collar on. |
