RIDGID High-Efficiency Size A Dust Bags for 12 Gal. to 16 Gal. RIDGID Wet/Dry Vacs (2-Pack)

What can I say, it's a bag for the trash inside your vacuum! These bags work well for me to keep filters cleaner longer, and make emptying the vacuum easy. It can be annoying to have to remove them before sucking up a wet mess, but the benefit is not having a mix of dirt and water that turns into dried-on muck. Since I usually swap to a wet filter anyway, the bag means I have a relatively clean basin when I open the drain. I tried some no-name branded filter bags that were about 50% cheaper, but they never fit as well, they seem to capture less dust and yet somehow simultaneously block so much airflow that the vacuum gets overheated. So I'm back to Ridgid-branded ones, they are worth the price for my application.

Bought these for my new 14 gallon Ridgid vacuum. 15 minutes into the job lost suction and discovered the seam in the bag had failed. Tried again with the second bag in the package-SAME THING! Ruined my new filter as well. Not happy. Will go back to the generic brand at half the price.
