Micro Filtration Canister Bags for GE C-Series, Premier and Whirlwind Swivel-Top Canisters

Swivel-top canisters from GE, Premier and Whirlwind all take the same micro-filtration paper bag, and this is it. SKU 140 covers the GE C-Series line from C-1 through C-18, along with V11C10, V11C13, V14C9 and 815, the Whirlwind and Premier swivel-top machines, and the Everclean upright. The media is a micro-filtration paper rather than a plain single-ply, which is what keeps fine dust in the bag instead of passing it on to the motor.

Suction fades long before a bag looks full. The media packs tight against its own inner surface, the airflow path narrows, and the motor works harder to move less air. A bag pushed well past its limit can split at a seam and put everything it collected back into the room, usually at the moment the canister is opened. Changing at around two-thirds keeps the machine breathing and the exhaust clean.

The signs that a change is due are familiar ones: the head becomes harder to push across carpet, the motor note rises, and dust that used to disappear on the first pass needs two or three. Any of those with a clear hose and a clean filter usually means the bag rather than the machine.

These are the bags people are after when searching GE C-Series vacuum bags, Premier swivel top canister bags, Whirlwind canister bags or a replacement for part numbers 405329 and 21339. Confirm your canister is a swivel-top model before ordering, since the collar has to match the inlet. Ships in 2-5 business days.
