Kirby Vacuum Bags

The Kirby Company is a manufacturer of vacuum cleaners and home cleaning accessories, based in Cleveland, Ohio. Since the 1920s, Kirby's products have been sold exclusively door to door using in-home demonstrations and now by independent distributors.

Kirby offers three levels of disposable vacuum bags, good, better, and best:

Kirby’s Micron Magic Disposable Filter Bags are good, economical, high filtration disposable bags that filter fine particles.

For better filtration, Kirby’s exclusive Micron Magic Micro Particle Arrest bags give you HEPA Filtration and remove 99.97% of common household dust, pollen, mites and other particles.

For those who suffer from allergies, Kirby’s Micron Magic MicroAllergen Reduction Filter bags serve as Kirby’s best. These, too, remove 99.97% of common household dust, pollen, mites and other particles, but also feature an electro-statically charged liner to trap sub-micron particles. These filter bags are certified HEPA 11, which means they rank among the industry’s highest ratings for vacuum bag filtration.

When used with Genuine Kirby Filtration bags, certain Kirby vacuum systems meet the CRI (Carpet and Rug Institute) stringent testing standards for Green Label Certification, which evaluates vacuum systems for soil removal, dust containment, and carpet appearance retention. This Indoor Air Quality Vacuum Cleaner Testing Program Certification by the CRI assures your Kirby system achieves a higher level of filtration. Using genuine Kirby disposable filter bags protects your investment and keeps your Kirby system functioning at peak performance. Genuine Kirby Parts means Genuine Kirby Quality.

When buying filter bags for your Kirby vacuum, keep in mind what model you have and when it was manufactured. There are two types of bag connections: Twist-Style and F-Style.  

Use Twist-Style Filtration Bags with your Sentria® prior to 2009, Ultimate G Diamond Edition®, Ultimate G series®, Gsix®, G5®, G4®, Generation 3®, Legend II, Heritage II and Tradition model vacuums.  

If your Sentria® was manufactured after 2009, you can use the F-Style Filtration Bags. With the F-Style bags, just lock the bag in place with a simple tab, no twisting required.  

If you have a pre-2009 Sentria®, Ultimate G Diamond Edition®, Ultimate G series® and Gsix®, your system can be upgraded to use the F-Style bags. Refer to the manufacturer for details.
