Crucial Vacuum Replacement Vac Bags Compatible With Miele Part # 10123210 & Models GN,S400i-S456i,S600-S658,S800-S858,S5000-S5999 Cloth HEPA Style Bags (5 Pack)

Please bear with me as I am physically covered and dust and still in a rage after I noticed our entire house filled with a cloud of dust! D'oh....As I vacuumed in one end, out of the vacuum end came nearly the entire bag full of dust. The el-cheapo Crucial Vacuum bag, the absolute first one I tried, blew a "sewn" seam and spewed all the dust into my wife's very expensive Miele Vacuum and all over our house.It is winter in Maine and we sand and salt our roads thus our entry way gets pretty sandy & dirty. When this bag blew, it not only destroyed the vacuum but sent a plume like Mount St. Helens into our house. This clean up will FAR surpass, in my time, any savings we might have realized by being STUPID and thinking these bags might actually be as good, or even close to as good, as the actual Miele bags.. They are NOWHERE neat the quality or durability as the genuine Miele GN bagsI have now spent nearly 40 minutes out in the barn using an 80 gallon Ingersoll-Rand air compressor and my shop vac trying to clean the guts of my wife's vacuum cleaner. It is still NOT clean and is still SPEWING DUST. WHAT A FREAKING MESS!!!! Stupid is as stupid does. I will NEVER, EVER, EVER buy a no-name generic vacuum bag for our Miele vacuum EVER again.This Miele vacuum cleaner was still SPOTLESS inside after nearly two straight years of using Miele brand GN bags. I have been so impressed with these Miele bags, and vacuum, except for the price. I stupidly thought I could save a few pennies and buy a "generic bag"..Yes, I was an idiot and lulled into buying these bags by some reviews that I now must assume were planted. Beyond the seam failure, and nuclear holocaust level mess I have had to deal with, when I opened the box of genuine Miele bags I discovered the Crucial bags were not even the same size or shape. Perhaps this is what led to the seam failure. These bags are NOT the same as a Miele bag no matter how much they mislead you & tell you they are.Luckily at the same time I bought these HORRIBLE quality bags I also bought a box of the genuine Miele bags, just in case. Good thing I did...Please, please, please DO NOT buy these bags you will regret every second of it when it blows open and destroys your house & expensive Miele vacuum cleaner.If anyone doubts the validity of this review please email me for actual photos of the mess: halekai36 at hotmail dot comI am NOT a plant I am a legit customer with real issues, with these Crucial bags. If I could link a photo into this review I would do it in a heart beat. Sadly it seems Amazon does not want the real truth to be seen, only read.If anyone from Crucial reads this PLEASE email me AND please send me a new vacuum as I can NOT get it to stop spewing dust no matter how much compressed air I blow through it, and no matter how much I clean it. Your product is a horrid excuse for a "generic" and you should be ashamed to be taking money from people for this poor excuse of a product. If it had not damaged my vacuum cleaner, and made a multiple hours mess, I probably would not have said anything but this level of quality is simply inexcusable.You have been warned.... Don't be stupid like I was.....P.S. I have tried VERY hard to be polite and keep my cool on this review. Perhaps I could have re-read it again before I hit send, but I really, really need a shower.Sorry Crucial but the truth about these bags needs to be told.-RCMaine USA

>> 9/16/2013I was getting tired of paying the high price for the genuine Miele G/N bags, so I tried a small (5) pack of these. I've read other generic brands may tend to leave dust all over the inside of the vacuum, but NOT these. They are a little bit thinner than the Miele, but have a good seal with no dust leak inside the vacuum, cannot really tell the difference between these and the Miele, aside from the tiny bit of the thickness. Next time, will be buying these in the  25 Packs  instead, a whole lot cheaper than the Miele. Miele bags are just TOO expensive, over priced IMO. I've only used 2-3 of these bags so far, so far so good, if I find any negatives, I will update the review and star ratings accordingly. As of now, I will be sticking to 5 stars.>> UPDATE 1/19/2015To Crucial Vacuum: Why is the 25 pack with ASIN B00AI1UKC4 not available at 1.6 moola per bag, is it that the you only want to offer the five pack to get more moola?>> PSNot sure what other reviewers are talking about, regarding cardboard fitting and dust leak. I've used at least 10 of these bags so, none had cardboard fitting nor any issues with dust leak. The last 25 pack I bought was in March 2014, they look the same as the genuine Miele, except these are just a tiny bit thinner. Still no complaints as of today.

Ok, so far. Bag was bigger/larger than the "stock" bag but does fit into the vacuum. I will update as I see how it fills up. Product was half the price and does not seem to "leak" dirt or dust which is a good thing. I will see if the larger capacity is going to work, appears it will. I will order again if it works well. Came with other filters too, thanks!

as represented

I BOUGHT THESE AND THE 3M FILTER BAGS. I WANTED TO SEE WHICH ONES WOULD WORK BETTER FOR MY MIELE VACUUM BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT TO SPEND $18 FOR 4 AUTHENTIC MIELE VAC BAGS. THE 3M ONES ARE OKAY, BUT THESE ARE MUCH BETTER QUALITY. I AM SO GLAD I BOUGHT THESE, THEY EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE MIELE BAGS.THEY ARE THE BEST ALTERNATIVE TO THE ORIGINALS. I PUT BOTH BAGS (MIELE AND CRUCIAL VACUUM) SIDE TO SIDE AND THEY LOOK IDENTICAL AND THE BAG WORKS PERFECT FOR MY MIELE. I CANNOT EMPHASIZE HOW HAPPY I AM WITH THESE BAGS.BUY THESE YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY

Great replacement product for vaccuum

These bags are almost identical; however these are a bit bigger in size than the original Miele's but they fit in my vacuum just fine (I have the Miele Callisto Canister Vacuum). I have two dogs so I am vacuuming every other day and I go through a lot of bags! I love the price point of these bags and order in bulk so that I can always keep extras on hand. A+

Thinner, not the exact size for my Miele (after years of battling with my expensive dark blue Miele we went with the light weight less expensive yellow model) anyway, the filters didn't quite fit right and I spent more time adjusting the filter to fit correctly as if I didn't, dirt would blow in side the compartment. I'm giving it a three for price and attempt and that they just might fit another model but I won't buy again.

Great for the price. Never had one break. We can smell a little bit of the dog fur when vacuuming, but that would probably be the same if we bought the name brand ones as well.

Great product (Half the price of the o.e.m. ) my order arrived 7 days ahead of the sheduled delivery date .... how great is that !!I willdefinatley order again when i need them.

Adequate product

A fraction of the cost as the OEM. Didn't get to try yet as I'm still on my previous batch of bags.

Well priced and it does the job.
