Panasonic Replacement Bag for Canister Vacuum Cleaner MC-CG4/MC-CG3

The C20-E bag is for vacuum types MC-CG4xx and is probably well suited for those machines. You will see this if you enlarge the item image.

The Panasonic MC-CG973 is a larger vacuum and uses the larger type C-5 bag. The MC-CG973 came with one type C-5. I ordered the Amazon recommended bags when I ordered the vacuum. Type C-20E arrived and were obviously the wrong bags. Sears sells a variety of bags for this machine some are available from sellers on Amazon. Look for Kenmore 5055.

I returned the bags unopened for a refund. Amazon gave full refund, Thanks.

I like the simplicity of changing a vacuum cleaner bag, and the satisfaction of seeing and holding all of that accumulated muck, dirt, and millions of microscopic vermin. The bag itself serves as a filter. Check ratings and tests of vacuum cleaners, and you’ll see that the bagged models generally have cleaner emissions. Clean inside air is important to us. Our Eureka and Panasonic vacuums both are bagged and both are equipped with HEPA filters. On the furnace I buy only highly rated, highly efficient filters. These precautions are good for the family’s health and certainly worth any extra expenses.

Our little Panasonic MC-CG467 canister vacuum is a wonderful machine that cleans the air as it cleans our carpets and hardwood floors. Its replacement bags are Type C-20E Panasonic original dust bags.

Panasonic Original Dust Bag type C-20E

These bags typically come five in a package and are available from many Internet vendors with prices ranging from $5.50 to as high as 15 dollars. I have found the best prices for these bags at online vacshop. When ordering these bags, make sure the product purchased is a Genuine Original Panasonic product. Cheaper generic bags may be available, but for me original manufacturer equipment is preferable.

The Type C 20E is approximately 10 by six inches in size. Its exterior resembles the brown paper of grocery bags except that the paper used for these vacuum bags seems to be more fibrous and greater in heft. Inside the bag is a white, cottony liner that enhances the filtering properties of the bag. A sturdy cardboard piece attached to the bag is used to mount the bag to the vacuum cleaner. Also on the bag’s exterior are illustrated directions for installing and removing the bag.

Removing the filled bag from our Panasonic canister was so easy that even a Potato Head could do it. Just reverse the steps put in the new bag that just slips into a built in holder. After you’ve properly placed the bag, just close the case of the canister and the bag opening automatically lines up with the vacuum hose opening. Nice!

Finally

I like the simplicity of removal and installation of this bag. I like the amount of dirt and crud it can hold. Mrs. Spudman used this vacuum for many weeks before I got around to changing the bag. It was heavy with dirt, but none fell out when I removed it and dropped it into the garbage can.

This is a great little bag that filters and contains dirt with aplomb. Its official Panasonic part number is AMC16K-UWO. These bags are designed for Panasonic vacuums with model numbers beginning with MC-CG4.
