EnviroCare Replacement Micro Filtration Vacuum Cleaner Dust Bags Compatible With Kenmore Canister Type C or Q 50555, 50558, 50557 and Panasonic Type C-5 18 pack

They fit and work but are not exactly the same as the original Kenmore bags. The cardboard tab is thinner and the opening is completely open where the originals have a sort of membrane or slits where the hose enters. However because the hose seals against a gasket it doesn't make any difference. They do feel a little thinner but again they do work. These are not true HEPA filter bags so I wouldn't try picking up very fine dust like drywall dust which can clog the bag and may cause it to burst and will also pass through. They do come with a sticker attached to seal the bag when removed which the original Kenmore bags do not. So for the price and the number of bags a decent deal.

I wasn't able to find replacement filter bags in my area, only on Amazon! These will work fine.

These bags worked pretty well. I bought the pack in particular because I had a bunch of drywall dust to clean up after we had a room re-done. A lot of the dust made it through the bag and into the inner filters in my vac, forcing me to replace them. I have no idea what size dust particles I was cleaning up and what the bag is spec'd at, but for my purpose they did just an OK job. I would guess for normal household dirt they'd be fine.

They seem too big for the canister. And the tape to cover the hole when you remove the full bag never works. But it holds the debris just fine. Just check and replace regularly.

So far, I have only used one of these. They seem to be the same quality as the genuine Panasonic bags. But, the one I put on seemed a little difficult to slide onto the sleeve than the Panasonic bags. I am little concerned that these could tear easily if you are not careful attaching them. My experience with the first bag could have just been an fluke. So, I will update this if I find any further issues. I like that they have a seal for when you remove the bags. The price is very good.

Fits my 40 year old vacuum

Fit our Hoover C type canister vacuum perfect. Seems as well made as others I have purchased. You can't get them in a brick and mortar for this price. Happy with my purchase.

These filters work fine in Kenmore 116.23512303 canister vac. However, the paper is thin and these must be installed with care as you slide the filter onto the filter mount; otherwise the paper WILL tear.
