Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

OK, just purchased a Hoover Platinum Bagged Upright and was marveling at the HEPA bag inside(Review posted for those interested). Anyone know who came up with the HEPA cloth bag first or who used it first?

The hepa bags are AWESOME though. Not only is airflow better/longer, when I change the bag there is no sign of dust/dirt at all in the bin on my Kenmore can. The microlined bags are good, but dust still escapes them. I use those in my mighty mite and the bin is full of dust...Honestly, I think the hepa bags do a better job than the hepa filters.

If you can find and use a pre-motor HEPA filter, at least the dust/dirt overspray from the paper bags will not enter into the motor compartment and degrade motor performance and efficiency over time.
