no work...wrong size...misleading entry
My vacuum is a Kenmore Model 116 "Progressive with Direct Drive True HEPA."
The correct bags are size "O", part number (from the Kenmore packaging) 50690.
They are longer than wide, have a hole with a rubber washer to fit the vacuum inlet, and are marked "HEPA" on the thick bag material.
I bought these bags because they were cheap, marked with the same part number "for 50688 and 50690," and the listing implied they were HEPA - "by Kenmore DVc Cloth Hepa bags." But they are not a close enough replacement to work at all. In other words, for me they are just trash, going to be thrown out. Instead of cheaper, they are more expensive because they are useless for me.
The are a different shape than the correct bag - square, instead of long to fit the vacuum. The cardboard attachment doesn't have the rubber washer, and in fact won't fit the vacuum inlet. The material is also thinner than the original, and isn't marked HEPA on the bag or on the...
these are not made of cloth! not model 50690
I bought these from 'allergy be gone' and this is a great price, for what appears to be a high quality paper bag..the bags are similar to the kenmore 50688 , but they are in no way made of cloth( model 50690.) if i was rating the accuracy posted by the seller i would have to give them a 0- i believe honesty is very important when we have to trust the seller to give us a description of the product. i read that these bags are made of cloth, and i ordered them because i was looking for a relacement to model 50690..i received bags made of paper (model 50688). i initially rated these as 4, because they are a good price for a replacement for filter 50688., but as i thought about it more i decided that isn't what i was rating..i bought this based on a description that said i was getting a cloth filter bag, and i recieved paper. so i changed my rating to reflect the quality of the cloth bags they claim to have sold me.
Outstanding vacuum bags
These bags really collect fine dust. My house is much less dusty than before using these bags. I have a dog and that causes more dust. I got the high end bags from Sears before and these are twice as good as those bags. I won't use anything else from now on.
