I am extremely grateful to you. I was just gifted this vacuum and I’m amazed at such a confusing design it is. I literally had to look up every single feature. Thank you for your help, the company should hire you.
Omg thank you for this video. I still have one of these vacuums & I was losing my mind trying to figure out where the heck the bag was!! It was the first time I changed it on my own. You have no idea how much you helped me &, like many others have commented, saved me from major anxiety. For vacuum companies, fyi, PLEASE make it more obvious where the dang vacuum bag is located so we don't feel like we are figuring out Rubik's Cube or something. Thank you!!!
This was SO helpful to me and relieved a ton of frustration I was experiencing between the poorly illustrated instructions on the bag and the IMPOSSIBLE to close hood. It is such a complicated, clumsy machine. For the record, I have a Dyson (also complicated and poorly designed/awkward to use), a Kenmore canister (like this one), and a Shark. By FAR the Shark is the easiest most intuitive to use and does a great job.
Good instructional video! It's important to check/replace the foam exhaust filter shown in the video as well as the filter in the rear of the vacuum. If these become clogged you will experience a huge loss of suction at the hose.
Thank you for your clear, thorough video. My bag light has never worked (second unit - the first one had a much worse problem, so I just kept this one), and I am especially glad you showed taking out the old bag - I haven't been letting mine get that full, probably wasting $ changing them out too soon.
I didn’t have extra bags so i took out the one that was already in there and cleaned it out by hand with some gloves on and popped that sucker back in i kinda ripped the bag tho so I taped it back💀
I was thinking, "seriously, a vacuum cleaner bag?" But wow, that's a complicated one! April 1st is coming... I think you should do one on how to turn on a light. "This is a lamp with a 60 watt incandescent bulb which is plugged into a switched outlet controlled by a switch near the door. First, I will enter the room and verify that the light is off..." :-) Your videos are extremely helpful. Thank you for doing what you do!
Most frustrating vacuum I've ever used. It's probably relatively old so maybe they've improved them. I often struggle to get the hose off and every time I try to change the bag it seems stuck in the slot. It comes out eventually, but I'm not sure how. The new bag slides in easily but removal is a different story.
I bought mine on Amazon, here's a link: www.amazon.com/Genuine-6-Pack-%D0%9A%D0%B5nm%D0%BEr%D0%B5-Canister-Vacuum/dp/B07F5BGZYZ/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Sears+Genuine+6-Pack+%D0%9A%D0%B5nm%D0%BEr%D0%B5+Canister+Vacuum+Bags+53292+Type+Q&qid=1633620887&s=home-garden&sr=1-1
that's nice I am thinking about buying a Kirby vacuum and I hear that you only need change the bag 4 times a year and that's if you vacuum every day! truly a good value
I’ve owned mine for about 7 years and with no problems. The bags have filtration in them so air can escape but keep dust and microns in them and not sent out back into your environment. So no change the bag completely! Don’t clean out the old one. These bags are pretty affordable on eBay just make sure they are 110% Kenmore brand. I buy the febreeze bags. 5055 is what you need for the bag code for the vacuum.
Air pressure from the vacuum pushes the sides of the bag to where it fits the inside of the container. You need to be careful no part of the bag is pinched by the lid.
I'm looking at the used bag in your video. It is very obvious it is much too long. Why are the bags you are using too long? I'm sorry... I just understand why you went to the trouble to make this video and you used bags that are obviously too long. They absolutely do not fit "the inside of the container".
Yes, good point. Q (cloth) and C (paper) is the bag "style" that Sears recommends. The issue still remains that the bags are too long to fit in a Kenmore canister vacuum. I discussed this with a salesperson at an independent Sears outlet. He told me he was trained on Kenmore vacuum cleaners in the early 1990s. The C "style" bags were obviously too long and the students asked the instructor why. The instructor responded that he didn't know why the bags were too long. They had always been too long. The students were taught to tuck the excess length under the bag because it looked better that way.Anyway, I like your video (and so did 6,48 other individuals). I think you should explain the "too long bag" issue.
Has anyone tried washing their vacuum paper bag and drying it out for reuse ?I used my vacuum to try to suck out some bed bugs from the bed and now I'm worried the bed bugs are multiplying and laying eggs inside the vacuum bag and may crawl back out again... thats why I'm thinking of dipping the whole bag in hot boiling water to kill them ...
