Review on 🧹 Filtrete Miele FJM Synthetic Vacuum Bag, 6.2x3.2x8.2 Inches, White by Jason Williamson

I bought them because of the price and also because the last Miele bags I bought had a new locking mechanism. Miele has installed a spring-loaded closure flap in its bags. The problem is that when the bag is full, the valve stays open and dust comes out when the bag is changed. It seemed like a bad design so I decided to try another brand and bought Filtrete packs. Filtrete bags have the same slide seal mechanism as Miele. I've been using the bag for a while and have noticed that the suction power is dropping. When the bag-full indicator started showing full, I changed the bag. When I changed the Miele brand bag, it was stuffed full. This bag wasn't that full. It seemed like it was going to take quite a while but the pull was gone so that was it. It sealed and was removed without dust. I noticed that the filter in the bag chamber was very dirty. This has never happened with Miele bags. So I'm not sure which bag is better. The Miele bags actually fill themselves and less dirt seems to get into the bag compartment. Filter bags hold less dirt, release more dirt into the bag chamber, but seal when changed and cost a little less. I will decide which bags to buy next time I need to buy them. I am not sure which one I will choose. Updated 07/17/18. I've been using them for a while and have decided not to buy them again. I have found that my vacuum loses suction long before the bag is full. Miele bags were full when I changed them. Suddenly the suction power dropped and the bag was full. I find myself changing Filtrete bags when they're almost full because the suction has dropped to the point of being useless. Another thing is how much dirt is outside of the bag. The bag itself is very dirty and the filter in the filter compartment is dirty. I've never experienced that with Miele bags. From now on I will only buy Miele jokes.
