after read so many good review for these bag , it seem like I could not go wrong with they for my three month new Meile Onyx . the old adage `` you get what you pay for '' be more like what these bag prove to be . right out of the box they look like they would do the job so I get down to business testing they . I have a very small home -lrb- 1,000 sq. ft. -rrb- and mostly laminate wood floor with a few wool runner rug throw in and wall to wall carpet in my bedroom . I also have one tiny dog and one very , furry , cat . we live in the country and garden , raise chicken , and have a pool . so , lot of debris always be track in the house on foot -lrb- even with shoes-off policy -rrb- and paw . I start to do a through vacuuming of the house and about halfway thru it sound like the Meile be make a noise I have never hear before . upon open up the bag door I notice immediately that the bag \* compartment \* be full of debris that I have just vacuum up . Huh , that seem like a fluke . I reread the instruction to make sure I have put the bag in correctly , yes I have . I check the bag for any hole , none and filter for dust I could not really see , all good . then I have to get out my old vacuum and vacuum out the compartment of all that have be disperse inside . Grrrrr . I check hose , they be fine . I replace the bag with another new one and start the rest of the house , again , a weird noise . again , debris in the bag compartment . my thought be that the flimsy , elastic , film on the bag where the hose snap into be not strong enough to do the job . conclusion , waste money , waste time and effort , and my BIGGEST concern ... have this permanently do damage to my Meile motor due to the dust and debris get in there ? I do not believe that a big-name label guarantee quality above a non-label in most case but in this one , I be regret it big time .
