Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

Hi all,

I see alot of mixed reviews regarding the use of HEPA bags in the Electrolux canisters (made by Perfect and not actually Electrolux Aerus). I recently bought an Ambassador III on Ebay and am thinking of using the HEPA bags in it. 

Anyone know if it is truly not good for the vacuum motor, I have heard some say they make the Electrolux motor run hot and burn out.

I have had many vacuums that used HEPA bags, and never had issues with the motor. I would think if it filters better and keeps dirt out of the motor, it would last longer ?

Don't buy from Crucial Vacuum!  I ordered Perfect C101 HEPA bags from them, but I received Endust brand HEPA bags & the Endust bags don't really fit the Electrolux very good.

I own the following Electrolux vacuums:

• G
• L
• 1205
• Golden Jubilee
• Epic 6500SR (C102)

All of the above use style C bags; but the Endust bags are "mis-shaped" & kept tripping the motor overload protection device on my Epic 6500SR.  I also had the same problem with the models G, 1205 & Golden Jubilee; even when I had the Automatic Control on setting 6 (fine dust) it still shut off when the bag was only 30% full.
