NSS Vacuum Bags

NSS has earned a reputation for great performance, reliability and long life with their carpet vacuums.  Vacuum bags are part of regular maintenance for your NSS Vacuum. Be sure to change your bags more frequently when dealing with fine dust, powder, and cold ash. This helps to protect the motor, keeping your vacuum running more efficiently and extending its life. High quality dust collection filter bags are available for the NSS line of vacuums:

Paper bags for the Model M-1 “Pig” Universal help this dirt-loving vacuum achieve 99.4% filtration efficiency at 0.3 microns. Its extra-large 12-gallon top-fill filter bag holds up to five times more debris and dirt than standard upright vacuums. This giant capacity allow this vacuum to stay on the job longer.

For the Pacer 14 and 18-inch Dual-Motor Upright Vacuums Models 14 UE / 18 UE, the poly-lined two-ply paper filter bag traps the vacuumed dirt as part of Pacer’s 3-stage filtration, working together to enhance your indoor air quality.

Pacer 12 and 15-inch Single-Motor Upright vacuum models 112 UE and 115 UE also make use of NSS’s two-play poly-lined filter bag construction as part of a 3-stage filtration.  Optional cloth and fleece bags are available for this model.

The Pacer 30 wide-area vacuum utilizes both a cloth zipper bag and an interior disposable paper filter bag.  This bag is part of Pacer 30‘s more efficient air movement, a result of its compact profile that reduces the distance dirt travels from vacuum intake to the filter bag.

Paper bags are also available to fit the NSS Designer Dry Vacuum model.

Many manufacturers underscore the importance of using their brand’s filter bags.  In many cases, however, the manufacturer no longer offers the original style bag.  Certain companies have stepped in to give consumers options in such situations, by making “generic” replacement bags available.  These bags, while they may not be original name brand, are manufactured to high standards, meeting or usually exceeding the original manufacturer’s specifications.  Some of these replacement vacuum bag companies include:  Enviro-Max, Janitized, EnviroCare, DVC, Green-Klean, Micro-lined and more. In the cases where original bags are no longer available, you can be confident that we work hard to find the “next best” bag available, which is assuredly at least as good and typically even better quality than the original part.  

While the original may have the benefit of name recognition, the original company often manufactures several other lines of products in addition to vacuum bags and vacuum cleaners. With companies like Janitized, EnviroCare, Micro-lined, DVC, and Green-Klean, their primary focus is vacuumbags, allowing them to pay more attention to making excellent vacuum bags and giving them an edge in vacuum bag consistency and quality.  

Described as having “melt-blown” or “electrostatically-charged” inner liners, many of these bags are manufactured with state-of-the art materials to filter out allergens. Some bags list bio-degradability among their features to lessen their impact on the environment.

In many cases, these after-market brand bags provide higher levels of filtration that may have not previously been available for that vacuum model, often meeting HEPA standards.  HEPA filtration helps those with allergies, asthma or other breathing concerns, and HEPA standards mean that filtration is 99.97% efficient down to 0.3 microns. These bags capture and trap microscopic particles such as pet dander, pollen, mold spores, dust mites, and more. These bags are often anti-microbial as well, to prevent the growth of mold and minimizing odor.
