I had the same problem with this as another reviewer. Even though the bag is not full, my net bottom is red and I get an error message that the bag is full. I took the whole base apart to check for clogs or to find the problem and I think the problem is in the bag. I've tried removing and reinserting the bag to fool the base but I keep getting the same error message. As a result, I have to switch from bagged to a quarter or half to have my vacuum empty like it should. While this is a very good price it makes up for the money saved if I use them more. I only have three bases for each level of my house and all three have a problem with these pockets. I wouldn't take the bags anymore.
