Why Buy Airflo?

Airflo bags may at first seem to be more expensive than the cheap competition and, that's true, they are more expensive. But with very good reason.

Airflo bags, unlike many these days, are not made in poor quality facilities in the Far East, specifically, in China. They are made to extremely high standards in Europe, often exceeding the standard of many manufacturer's own bags so they don't fail, fall apart if you handle them the wrong way and actually do what they're supposed to do, trap dirt. This will mean that your cleaner is working the way it was intended to be without a reduction in performance often found using cheap cleaner bags.

Airflo also manufacture for many manufacturers as the quality is so high. So high in fact that you will find many Airflo products also used in commercial applications such as hospitals, schools and the like.

We like them because we don't get the same hassle we do with cheap bags quite frankly. They just work and our customers are happy with this level of quality, it's what people expect of us

We also like the fact that Airflo products are manfactured with consideration for the environment. Wherever possible, Airflo use biodegradable materials made from renewable sources. No optical brighteners or chemical bleaching agents are used in the manufacturing process, making them a far more environmentally friendly choice.

This new range of microfilter bags that are being introduced through 2008/9 is superb. The quality is great and they retain more duct in the vac, which is the whole point of the bag really, too keep the dust in the hoover and not spew it back out as many cheap bags do.

What we find with these new bags is that filters last longer, more dirt is retained so the vac cleans better (often better than originally), that they hold more dirt in terms of volume and they're stronger as well. There's really no downside other than the slightly higher price.

So yes, they are more expensive, but well worth the little extra we feel as you gain a lot for not a lot of money.
