Riccar/Simplicity Allergen Paper Bags - 7000-8000 Series, 6-Pack

Allergen grade paper bags for the Riccar and Simplicity upright line of the 7000 and 8000 Series, cataloged as part A846 and sold six to a pack. Dealers list the same Type B bag across the Riccar 8000 and 8900 Series machines and the Simplicity 7000 and 7 Series uprights, including the commercial models in that range.

This is the Type B allergen bag, made from multi ply paper media rather than the single layer used on older upright lines. The added layering is what lets it hold back finer dust while still passing enough air to keep suction reasonably steady as the bag loads up, which is the whole point of stepping up from a standard bag.

None of that extra media changes the basic rule, though. Run one past full and it still chokes airflow, just at a slightly later point than a thinner bag would. Change it once it feels tight in hand rather than waiting for the vacuum to sound like it is struggling, since a bag pushed well past that point eventually lets fine dust slip toward the motor rather than staying in the media.

If your Riccar or Simplicity upright falls outside that group, check the bag door and part diagram before ordering. Both brands have run several bag styles over the years that share a similar cabinet shape without being interchangeable.
