Do you re-use your vacuum cleaner bags?

I do this all the time and have saved many dollars.

How about you?

My old vaccum died, so I bought a bagless and love it. Will never buy a bag one again.

I usually try to reuse atleast one time.

Hmm I guess I am in the minority here...I have never done this

**QuilterMom** · 12-07-2002, 09:28 PM

Yes, though I usually end up making a mess.

**Lori Biever-Launder** · 12-07-2002, 09:32 PM

I don't because our bags get soooo grungy.

**mom2matty** · 12-07-2002, 09:34 PM

Yes I do!!! I usually end up making a mess too

No, I only have a single small rug in my living room so a bag lasts me forever-I use a big dustmop on all of my hardwoods and throw it in the wash when it gets dirty.

I have had a bagless since they first came out. I love that i don't have to worry about finding the right bags, or running out. Really has saved $$. wouldn't go back.

**Hawkshop** · 12-08-2002, 01:30 AM

Nope, and we hope to get a bagless in the next year.

**Karla** · 12-08-2002, 02:18 AM

Nope I have never done this.

I just bought my first vacuum last night at Sears!!! It is being ordered and I will have it January 16th! It is a Kenmore, I got it for 118.00! (81.00 off!) it uses bags...so I don't know whether I'll be reusing them or not...are they expensive to buy the new bags?

**halo475** · 12-08-2002, 09:45 AM

Nope have never been brave enough tho try it!!

**Darlene** · 12-08-2002, 09:55 AM

I did sometimes. Our new vac takes those special filtration bags that trap impurities.I don't think they would filter as well if used a second time. They are more expensive but seem to work well.
