The bags did not fit in my Miehle canister vacuum cleaner. I had to work hard to put it in, then the canister lid didn't close easily. I tried to open the lid to check the bag and I had to open the lid. I got my bag out, drove to a Miehle market, bought Miehle bags (not generic) and returned home. I put them in, they clicked easily and the lid fell off and opened with no resistance either. From now on I will only buy Miehle bags. I will use these versatile ones as jewelry pouches or whatever. I don't want to risk damage to my Miehle vacuum cleaner.
