What Consumers Should Know About Vacuum Cleaner Bags
Vacuum cleaner bags come in various forms, brands and prices. The hundreds of models offered in the market often create confusion among consumers, particularly to those who are not in the habit of checking for product specifications. To help keep consumers from purchasing the wrong brand, here are some tips.
Vacuum cleaner bags, along with filters, belts and other supplies, are part of the vac machine accessories market. This sector has been estimated to be worth millions of dollars annually and so far, it has not shown any sign of slowing down. With hundreds of new vacuum machine models being introduced almost every year, the accessories industry is assured of a profitable operation for years to come.
Because bags are examples of an infrequent purchase, most consumers tend to forget the specs that fit their vac machine models. Added to this is the sheer number of different brands in the commercial market and what you have is an industry that is not only confusing to consumers but to retailers as well.
Bags, like other attachments and parts, should be compatible with the vac machine model for which they are purchased. To avoid buying the wrong model for your machine, always take note of the vac cleaner’s model number and series letter. Also, make it a point to look for the reorder number or bag type printed on the outside of the bags.
Vacuum bags are generally of two types; the Genuine or Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) type and the Replacement kind. OEM bags are the same products that can be purchased directly from the manufacturer while Replacement types are made by third party manufacturers. Another important information about bags that can help a consumer’s purchasing decision is the difference between High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filtration and regular or traditional filtration. HEPA bags are more expensive than regular ones since they have better filtration. People who have allergies are better off buying the HEPA kind.
Buying vacuum cleaner bags should not be a nightmare for consumers. Waste of time and money resulting from a wrong purchase can be avoided by taking note of the vac machine’s specifications or checking the reorder tag of the bag itself.
