Bosch Part#462544 - Type G Replacement Vacuum Bag (BBZ51AFG2U) - Fits Bosch Compact Series and Formula Series Vacuums by EnviroCare Part#206 - 5/Package



Just as good as OEM, but a hell of a lot cheaper!!!!!
I had won this little Bosch Compact Plus vacuum in a wood working contest and it came with all original Bosch bags and filters, the cleaner has some real power for its little size way more than I expected. But at first you could only buy replacement bags directly from Bosch, which you can imagine was very expensive. To remedy the cost I started buying off brand bags close in size but I had to cut the mounting tab down in size to make it close but it just didn't have the same suction. Then while searching Amazon for an un-related item I saw these bags so I ordered 5. I didn't realize until they came is that I had ordered 5 bags of 5, then the light went off. Instead of paying $25 for 5 bags I just paid $25 plus tax for 25 bags, not if they worked, I had just scored one heck of a deal. Yes they work, suction is just as good as OEM, they have the same seal shut opening when removing bag to throw it away. No dust comes through the bag and back into the room through the exhaust. So all in...

Good replacement
So far these replacement bags work fine and I haven't had any issues. Compared to the price of the Bosch brand bags, definitely a much better deal.

EnviroCare Bosch Type G Vacuum Bags
I've been using these bags for the past few years with my Bosch canister. I have not run into the problems mentioned below about stalling out the vacuum. Granted these bags don't work as well as the original Bosch bags--the seal isn't as great, and the closing mechanism for when you remove the full bag isn't as good as the original. However, given the difference in price between these and the Bosch brand, the EnviroCare ones certainly work good enough. Now if someone would only make a cheaper replacement HEPA filter...
