Can I use disposable bags inside the cloth bag on this machine?

The vacuum cleaner has a heavy duty bag that attaches at the bottom and clips at the top. No other bag is needed. The dust and dirt collect in the bag. When full, the bag is fairly easy to detach (I am not a mechanical person and I can do it without instructions, even). I just dump the dust into a garbage bag and reattach the bag. So, you can not use disposable bags inside the cloth bag.

I don't think there is any reason you couldn't use a plastic bag. In addition, this has been a very good home shredder. I am very happy with it. Go for it!

It is removable but I don't know if it can be used on disposable bags or not. I haven't tried.

Short answer: No, I don't use a bag while machine is in operation. Explanation: When I first started using this machine I tried using bags and it just didn't work. The container for the shredded paper isn't designed for it. Luckily it isn't a problem. You just pull it out and dump the shredded paper into any standard paper shredder bag. I just buy whatever they have at Office Depot. You will have some shredded paper fall out on the floor, just vacuum or whisk broom it up. Not a big mess.

Yes, it's open mesh, so you do need bags. The air flow keeps it dry enough that you don't have to wash the bin as often as you do the closed bins that seem to collect slime in the bottom whether you use a bag or not. I like it, but the one improvement I'd make would be some sort of clip to anchor the bags so they don't fall in when you're dumping scraps into the bin.

Kat, you would have to try- I can't imagine why not, because the bags can only heat so high, regardless of which machine used. this machine will take either the rolls or the individual bags. If you have any friend with a foodsaver, all the bags should work between them - take your bags over to the friend's house and check.

The Freshsaver handheld machine normally only works with zipper bags and deli containers. I have seen homemade adapter hoses listed on an auction we'bsite.

Like the thick microfiber cloth rags? That's a good idea! I think it might work. I think the only place you may have trouble would be fishing it through the top hole. You'd probably find it easier to just stuff them in the longer slot on the front and pull them out the same way. Actually sometimes I even stuff my grocery bags into the longer front slot instead of through the top because it's quicker sometimes.

That bag is just for the top. The bottom bag is not a filter bag, you can buy plastic disposable bags for the bottom.

You can use ziplock vacuum bags it is a lot cheaper. I buy them from walmart

The instructions say to use the cloth wet pad that comes with it and it works good with that. I don't think it gives an option to use the disposable

I would use the Foodsaver bags myself. They are pretty heavy duty and are built for the machine. I would imagine other types of plastic bags would work, they would have to be thicker though.

yes. Check ebay, you can find replacement bags for much less than what smartpool sell them for.

From my understanding, you can use the bags that are made for the unit. I agree with Clark Isaacs, contact the manufacture for they are the best person to answer this question.

Yes you can. I've had several different Trashrac's over the years (this one has a few improvements), and I've always used the same bags. Darlene C.

Yes they can be used in place of kenmore Q bags. The box says they capture 90% of particles larger than 1 micron and 57% between 0.3 and 1 micron.
