The way you attach the filter to the paper bag sucks! (Pun). Please forgive me.

It would probably be a perfect vacuum if the optional paper bag filter stayed attached to the suction port inside the tank. It is NOT possible to hold the bag by the inlet tube. It just needs to be slipped onto the pipe and somehow stay in place. The bag that came with my 12 gallons. The unit was from 12(?) to 16 gallons. and was too big, which didn't help. I contacted the seller to see if I did anything wrong as the bag was simply sucked right out of the inlet tube. The impeller doesn't seem to know the difference between sawdust and a piece of paper. Imagine! What a stupid bastard! Anyway, I contacted the factory and they confirmed that unlike ANY OTHER device on the market, there are no provision for holding the case. I found with them that this is a really dumb design in my humble opinion. They had no further comment, of course, but they were kind enough to send me three 12 gallons. Bags that seem to last a little longer. But just to be safe, I attached a few clips to hold the bag in place. I guess I was just surprised to see such a rudimentary design element omitted(?) or simply ignored to save money. This is very bad. Otherwise a very good device.
