Essentially Identical to the Ridgid Vacuum Bags
I use a bag in my Ridgid vacuum because I use the vacuum to suck up sanding debris. And if I donât use a bag, it quickly clogs the filter on the vacuum.Iâve been buying the Ridgid bags from Home Depot and theyâre not inexpensive so when I saw these, I ordered them.When I received them, I laid one out next to one of the Ridgid bags â theyâre IDENTICAL. Theyâre so much alike that I wrote the word âRidgidâ on the Ridgid bag so Iâd know them apart. Then I noticed that the Ridgid bag had some printing about Emerson Company (I circled that on the bag in the picture – the Ridgid bag is the lower one in the picture).I examined the bags carefully and canât see any significant difference. The bag material appears to be exactly the same and itâs printed with all the same text as the Ridgid bag (except the Emerson data). The connector (where you push the bag onto the pipe) appears to be exactly the same as the Ridgid bag.It takes a while to use one of these bags so I canât report on how it holds up, but given that itâs so much like the Ridgid bag, I expect it to give the same service.These are much less expensive than the Ridgid bags. A dozen of these bags costs about what I was paying for two Ridgid bags.

So far so good.
Used it to clean a basement full of concrete dust, and it appears that pretty much all of it stayed in the bag. There is some power loss, but its not to noticeable.

Value for money.
The generic Ridgid shop vac filter bags offer excellent value for their price. They fit well on most Ridgid vacuums. A cost-effective alternative for homeowners or professionals looking to save on maintenance supplies. Overall, these filter bags are a great budget-friendly option.

Fits perfectly and a much better value over OEM
I recently purchased a 14 gal Ridgid so I’ve been looking for a few accessories including bags and while comparing prices between Ridgid branded bags and these the value difference is so great I decided to give these a try. I have a HEPA quality bag for the Ridgid so I used that for comparison. The openings on both bags are nearly identical. While the HEPA bag is donut shape with no ‘ends’ or seams on the bag, these standard bags are C shape with long seams at the end, just like the OEM bags are of this type. So unless these bags tend to clog up the primary filter quickly, I’ll probably stick with using these for now.

Good filters for my workshop vac
I bought these hoping they would fit my DeWalt 12 gallon shop vacuum. Turns out, they fit better than the other ones I had! They’re just the right depth to sit on the bottom and filter out all the dusts to make emptying my vacuum a snap. They also keep my pleated filter from getting clogged up. If you don’t use bags like this in your shop-vac, you’re missing out! Good value on these as well. I definitely recommend.

Great value bags that fit and function as good as OEM.
These bags are a great alternative to the OEM Ridgid bags that are a lot costlier. From what I can tell they are identical as far as fit, quality, and function. At less than $2 a bag I don’t have to wince when throwing them away after use either!

Perfect! Great value!
I have a Ridgid 12-gallon shop vac. It’s a real workhorse, but with all my home renovation projects and being OCD about keeping a clean garage, I can go through some bags. I came across these, and they are about a fifth the cost of genuine Ridgid bags, yet they look identical in every way. These bags fit and work perfectly! They are an amazing value and I highly recommend them.

Filters drywall dust too.
I use my 16 gallon Ridgid vacuum for multiple applications. Sometimes to vacuum leaves off of the patio. Other times to attach to my compound miter saw and table saw to collect the wood debris and still other times to collect the drywall dust after sanding a mudded joint. So, I have had various tests to put these vacuum bags through and all the applications which the bags successfully contained all the materials and kept my dry filter relatively clean.I had been using bags obtained at Home Depot, but often when I was out of bags, was forced to rely just on the dry filter, which had to be cleaned very often in order to maintain a good suction. With the 12 pack, I should be good to go with vacuum bags for quite a while.The bags come with a secure opening cover that you must lift out in order to insert into the Ridgid vacuum cleaner inlet as seen from the attached picture. This allows you to close the inlet cover after the bag becomes full in order to keep the contents contained within the bag as you discard it in the trash. This is nice as many wet/dry vacuum bags do not have this feature.I am very pleased with this bag and if this provider has a vacuum bag that fits your vacuum, it is well worth your consideration.
