12-Pack Replacement Vacuum Bags for Kenmore Canister Type C/Q 5055
Product description
Compatibility: This 12-pack of replacement bags is designed for Kenmore Canister Type C/Q models including 5055, 50555, 50557, 50558 and the 200, 400, 600, 700, and 800 series. It is also made to work with Panasonic Type C-5 and C-18 canister vacuums to maintain the vacuum’s intended suction and filtration performance.
Seal system: Each bag features an Enviro-Closure style cardboard collar with a paste-seal design that locks the opening when removed. The collar creates a tight closure to contain dust and debris during bag changes, limiting airborne escape and keeping the canister interior cleaner.
Filtration and construction: The bags use a multi-layer folded construction combining an outer paper layer with an inner microfiltration layer. This laminated structure strengthens the bag and captures very small particles — rated to filter down to about 0.3 microns and remove approximately 99.97% of airborne particulates of that size — helping to reduce secondary contamination.
Capacity and materials: Each replacement bag has an extra-large capacity of 221 ounces, allowing for extended intervals between changes. The pack contains 12 disposable bags. Product dimensions for the packaged item are approximately H: 8.1" × L: 4.7" × W: 17.8".
Replacement interval and value: It is recommended to swap the bag every 2–3 months depending on household conditions and frequency of use. The larger capacity helps lower the frequency of replacements compared with smaller bags, making them economical for regular cleaning cycles.
How to install: No tools are required. Press down the cardboard tab on the old bag and remove it from the collar. Insert a new bag into the correct position and ensure the collar seats firmly. Replace the bag when it reaches roughly two-thirds full to avoid suction loss or risk of rupture.
Customer support: The manufacturer stands behind the product and offers customer service for compatibility or quality concerns within a 24-hour response window.
