Kenmore Micro Paper Bags - ...

Product details
These micro-filtration paper bags, part 137, are built for canister vacuums that take a Kenmore Type C bag, and for Panasonic units designed around a Type C-5 bag, three to a pack. Micro-filtration paper traps finer dust within its layers than a standard bag lets through, which matters most in households where dust sensitivity is a concern.
Suction problems on a bagged canister trace back to the bag far more often than to the motor or the hose. Once the paper's pores clog with fine dust, airflow falls off steadily, and that drop shows up well before the bag looks full from the outside.
Swap the bag in once it is roughly two-thirds full instead of running it to capacity, and match the collar on your old bag against the Type C style before ordering, since collars differ from one bag type to the next.
- Fits: Kenmore Type C canister vacuums, Panasonic Type C-5 canisters
- Part: 137, 3 bags per pack
- Media: micro-filtration paper
- Change point: roughly two-thirds full
Keeping a spare pack on the shelf is worth doing as well, since a bag that fills partway through a job is what tempts people to run it several sessions past full.
