As " our Henry " is the vacuum of choice for many an STW'er, I'm after some new bags either online or in a shop

Any recommendations and are there copy ones that are just as good or should I get originals ?

Never bought any before.

Cheers

I don't bother with a bag in the one I have in my workshop, just empty the whole thing in the bin when it's full

I bought a load of extras online at the same time as purchasing my vac,plenty of places selling genuine bags online.

Or you can buy generic replacements from Tescos and Market stalls,no idea if they are equal to or worse than the genuine ones though.

I use the Numatic Hepa-flo bags available on Amazon I believe. They're resistant to tearing when being removed full of brick dust etc.
As the vacuum is designed to use a bag, I think it best to do so. The disc filter is there as a back up to protect the motor should the bag fail. Paper ones do have a tendency to do so, particularly if you get a bit of liquid or damp waste into it.

In all my years I genuinely never knew they even had bags, every days a school day I suppose.
