Overview
The RICCAR HEPA Type H Bag is a high‐efficiency filtration bag designed for use in Riccar canister vacuum cleaners.

Perfect for homes with allergy sufferers, pets, or those who demand extra cleanliness.
Key Features
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| True HEPA Filtration Material | Captures at least 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns. |
| Type H Fit | Specifically made to fit Riccar canister models that use Type H bags—ensures perfect fit, no leakage. |
| Multi‐Layer Construction | Inner and outer layers to trap large debris, fine dust, and allergens in distinct strata, maximizing capacity and flow. |

| Secure Sealing Collar | Prevents dust from escaping when removing or replacing the bag. |
| Durable Material | Resists tearing, moisture, and collapse under heavy airflow. |
What Makes the Model Stand Out
-
Brand pedigree: Riccar is known for premium vacuum cleaners, and its genuine HEPA Type H bags are built to the same standards.
-
Filtration integrity: Because the material is true HEPA and Riccar OZ‐approved, users get better air quality than generic bags.
-
Optimized airflow: The bag’s design balances filtration with airflow so that motor stress is minimized, and vacuum performance is maintained.
-
Allergy‐friendly: Excellent for people with asthma, allergies, or pet dander issues—these bags can make a noticeable difference in indoor air.

Comparison Table
Here’s a side‑by‑side comparison between Riccar HEPA Type H Bags and other alternatives:
| Feature | Riccar HEPA Type H Bags | Aftermarket Generic “HEPA” Bags | Cloth / Reusable Bags |
|---|---|---|---|
| Filtration Efficiency | True HEPA, ≈ 99.97% @ 0.3µm | Varies; often < HEPA, many “HEPA‐like” only | Usually poor for fine particles |
| Fit and Seal | Precise fit with Riccar Type H; minimal leakage | Sometimes loose, risk leaks | May have gaps; risk of dust escape |
| Capacity | Generous; designed for full load | Variable; often smaller or less well constructed | Often lower capacity; risk of tearing |
| Cost Over Time | Higher per unit; better performance long term | Lower upfront; may need more frequent replacement | Lowest ongoing cost; but compromises in performance |
| Health / Allergens | Excellent protection for allergies/asthma | Some protection—but depends on quality | Minimal protection against fine irritants |
| Longevity / Vacuum Motor Health | Helps preserve motor by preventing clogging | Variable; lower quality may stress motor | Risk of damage if particles bypass filter |
Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Genuine Riccar quality and compatibility | Usually more expensive than generic bags |
| Excellent HEPA filtration for allergies and pets | May not be reusable—single use only |
| Secure sealing minimizes dust escape | Needs correct model identification—wrong bag type won’t fit |
