Perfect V.A.C. Type F HEPA Bags for Riccar SupraLite, Simplicity, 9-Pack

Type F is the HEPA bag style for the Riccar SupraLite, and Simplicity's lightweight uprights use the same bag. Nine bags per pack.

The bag is rated H-10 HEPA and built across five layers of micro-filtration, specified to hold particles down to 0.3 microns. On a lightweight upright, where there is less motor behind the suction than on a full-size machine, filtration that stays fine without choking airflow matters more than it does on a heavier vacuum with power in reserve.

• Fits: Riccar SupraLite, Simplicity (Type F bag style)
• Filtration: H-10 HEPA, 5-layer micro-filtration, rated to 0.3 microns
• Pack quantity: 9 bags

Part VAC42. Replace the bag once it is full or once the upright starts losing pickup at the floor. A packed bag chokes airflow on a lightweight machine faster than it does on a full-size upright, since there is less motor reserve to push through the added resistance. A musty smell from the exhaust while the bag still looks only partly full is another sign the media has reached the end of its useful life. Buying nine at a time means the next change is a swap from the shelf rather than a wait on an order, and it is worth reading the style marking on the bag you pull out against Type F before you order the next pack.
