My lungs are important, but I don't have a lot of money so I can't afford $500 dust collection systems.These are the only bags I use, and use in conjunction with for high efficiency purposes. It's perfect for sanding drywall mud. There is a substantial difference in airborne dust reduction using these than other brands or even the regular "white" filter shopvac bags. I've tried quite a few out there so trust me, theres nothing that comes close at this price point.They usually go on sale for $8.94 on Amazon. Store prices are $14-17. I only buy them at the lower price on here and stock up.I also wear the with its assortment of filters. I wear quad P-100 filters. No amount of dust can get past these into my lungs.Tip:1. Once you install the bag, clear tape both sides of the cardboard opening of the filter bag onto vacuum tank because it may occasionally come loose. (really bad when it does happen)2. If they feel clogged, take the vacuum outside and drop the vacuum maybe 2-6inches onto the ground) or shake the bag a little. This will free up dust that is stuck in the pores of the bag. This also extends the life and capacity of the bag. I used to toss these when they clog even though it's only filled at half capacity. Now, I can use it even longer.Comment:I prefer rigid vacuums but I'm not sure if these will fit over rigid. The shopvac 12-gallon high efficiency bags are nice and cheap also, they are probably a better deal than these 5-8 gal bags.

Having bought a nice new Shop-Vac when the one I found in the attic of my (very old) house had given up the ghost, I didn't want to trash the motor by sucking up the fine plaster dust caused by pulling down elderly lath-and-plaster walls. I knew I needed a HEPA filter to catch that sort of thing but every which way I looked it seemed like a hugely expensive option. Enter the high efficiency bags that filter out the fine dust, reducing the workload on the cartridge filter and (hopefully) meaning I don't get to buy another Shop-Vac when mine is still barely a few weeks old.The bag works well, with a couple of provisos. It sucks cleanly and, judging by what blows out of the exhaust vent of my Shop-Vac, catches just about everything being sucked up. For reference, when I've been pulling walls down the dust hangs in the air for some hours. When I go in a few hours later to suck up what I didn't manage to catch and put into construction sacks, the Shop-Vac doesn't show any signs of blowing any dust out of its vent. So a big plus there.The main downside is that the strength of the unit works against it. Plaster dust is heavy, and you don't get anywhere near 8 gallons of the stuff before the weight of the dust starts to pull the bag apart. Once that happens the bag starts to break, dust being sucked into the Shop-Vac then isn't caught as efficiently, and that means all sorts of bad things. The cartridge filter then has to rise to the challenge and anything it doesn't catch end up sucked into the motor. That's not good for the longevity of the Shop-Vac.It's easy enough to manage it, basically you just empty the bag before it gets heavy enough to be difficult to move around. The bag won't be full, but they are cheap enough to be more or less disposable and it's cheaper to actively manage bag usage than to buy a new Shop-Vac.For those reading this it's probably too late to make this particular decision, but if I'd known then what I know now I'd have seriously considered a smaller Shop-Vac, rather than having an 8-gallon unit that I can't fully use because it gets so heavy.Update March 2018...Still very happy with the bags but be aware that you'll lose a lot of the benefit if you use a hose that doesn't push inside the hole. I used a hose from another shop vac so I could use a basic dust separator, and got lots of fine dust inside the vac. It clogged the filter and I lost a lot of suction, and no doubt some fine dust got blown out of the vents too. A new hose designed for a shop vac with a deflector that sits inside the bag solves the problem. Not an issue relating to the bag itself, so the 4-star rating remains, but if fine dust can get sucked into the filter before it even gets into the HEPA bag you'll lose a lot of the benefit of the HEPA bag.

My daughter who is serious DIYer got a very nice Ryobi table saw with collapsible stand and all the goodies. But the one thing she did not have was a viable dust collection method. Recently helped her with room modifications for the twins that will be here soon and we did several long cuts on the table saw and the floor and air ended up with a lot of sawdust. Looked online for a solution and the cost seemed excessive so found a 8 gal shop vac online for $10 bucks, added these bags to it and now she has a solution that make the work and garage dust free. And the best part is you just pull the bag out and dump it in the garbage can, no mess and no fuss!!!

The bags were easy to install and have a good ring for the hose to insert with the bag!

These bags have very good capacity and filtering properties. They are a little pricey though.

Quite pricey but cheaper here than other stores. Work well. Be careful to push the neck of the bag around the outlet pipe as snug as possible to prevent dust escaping. Check it after a use or two. I fill the lower cavity of my shop vac with something light to prevent the bag from sagging down into the bottom and pulling away from the attachment pipe when the bag gets heavy. An issue I have dealt with in the past. This idea works well.
