Oreck Odor Fighting Hypo-Allergenic PKBB12OF Handheld Vacuum Cleaner Bag Replacements, 12 Count , White

What can you say, it’s an Oreck bag for the Compact Canister vacuum. Easy to install and that’s about it. Whole design of the Compact Canister unit was not thought out well at all. Works great when you first put in the bag, and if you are sucking up small hard objects like spilt split peas or dry cat food. If you are using it to vacuum dust off lamp shades, fireplace mantles or dust bunnies under the front of a cabinet the bags clog up incredibly fast. You pull out the bag and it’s only 20% full but the suction has gone down by 60% or more. Bags should have been pleated like air filters to have a large surface area. Oreck company filed for bankruptcy in May 2022 and the Oreck family who sold the business back on 2003 tried to buy it back for much less than they sold it for. Oreck products were good but overpriced years ago, now parts are getting hard to find. Local Oreck store only had one replacement hose left and said they couldn’t order them any more.

Bought for Lady-Friends trash container... Thing always stinks... This helps!

These Oreck bags are p much top of the line as far as bags for our weird little canister Orecks go. Amazon suggests I mention their “sheerness” and at first I was going to make a joke about it but tbqh they do feel remarkably silky for a vacuum bag, like they’re made of some kind of luxe fabric even though I know they’re made mostly of paper... right? Well now I’m really confused.

Easy to install and use. Its price is too high

Well, I suppose they work well in the newer vacuum versions. The hole on the bag connection is square. Therefore, your older handheld vac’s round pipe connection has to go inside square hole. That leaves enormous gaps around the square hole of the bag. It works fine until you need to replace the bag, where you find tons and tons of dirt in the trap that has escaped the bag. All handheld vacs are listed as compatible, both old and new models. Oreck claims their esteemed engineers promise the round peg into the square hole works well and as designed. So, the design is to make a mess when replacing the bags. Cool.

I’m allergic to dust so every time I vacuum it’s a nightmare. These Oreck bags are amazing. They do an excellent job of trapping dust and orders. Suction could be a little better but that’s in the vacuum more so than the bags. I’ve used the green Oreck bags as well but like these better for trapping dust and odor. These bags seem small but they really hold a lot of debris and last a long time.

Better price

I have used these for many years and am very happy with them. I was glad that I did not have to go to the Orek store to purchase them.

Great product at reasonable price and fast delivery

Work great
