These bags, although a bit pricey, extend filter life and greatly extend the amount of time you can use the vacuum before having to empty it out. They make a world of difference! That's because they act like a whole extra filter. To save money, I have found that you can empty them out (over a dumpster, wearing a dust mask) once or twice and reuse, before disposing of them.
 Interesting filter upgrade system for Fein July 20, 2007

I got interested in upgrading my Fein vacuum to the HEPA filter when warned on FineHomebuilding's "Breaktime" that drywall dust would blow the motor. After that I found evidence some finer dust was getting through the standard issue filter.
I was tempted to buy a suggested "clone" HEPA cartridge for a lot less and use it along with the existing filter. Instead I trusted the guys that made this great vacuum and spent a lot of money for the little Fein HEPA cartridge (80$) filter (Fein really knows how to charge for their accessories), the accessory to hold it in, and 3 bags, but now I am happy with it. I went into it blind because I couldn't find any explanation of how it all worked. I was imagining a paper sack over the HEPA cartridge. It's a lot different than that.
The paper bag is quite a piece of work. It has a rubber rimmed opening that "snaps" over the intake "rib" and then the paper bag circles inside the vacuum tank - circling the HEPA filter cartridge. My understanding is that the HEPA cartridge is supposed to only be a "last check" on fine dust.
The vacuum doesn't seem to have diminished in suction. I AM going to try to empty and reuse these bags - blow them out with air and roll-staple them with a bag stapler. Maybe also tape them with Gorilla tape. So I am cheap but happy with the system so far. It all seems to have the quality built in.
 Way too expensive, but they work well. June 9, 2007

Pricey, but they do last and work very well with very minimal leakage. Fein makes a good product. I get them in qualtity to lessen the bite.
Mr. FEIN: Please, don't gouge us? There is a lot of competition out there... and little loyalty!

Disposable bags make the already great Fein Vac even better. No more dusty dump with the vacuum if full

Much better suction from the vacuum cleaner than when using the cloth bag. Paper bags hold a lot of material. I use them in my woodworking shop so welcome the ability to largely fill the vacuum container before disposing of the bag.
