Thread: Non oem dust bags for Fein

Having purchased a Fein Dustex 25 and it coming only with one bag means I have to get more bags some time in future. in Aus Fein bags cost about $65 for 3 or was it 5? Either way it is ridiculous as can get a pack of 3 from US for about US$12 or 5 for £21 in UK. The problem is that shipping costs kills it. Even not taking shipping into account this is expensive compared to other brands. Someone advised that the Nilfisk IV5b bags wil fit but these are 50litre bags and more suitable for the Dustex 40 but there's nothing wrong with fitting in the Dustex 25. Just means the bag wont be full but the vacuum canister will be. Locally Nilfisk bags cost less than $45 for 5. However, Nilfisk specs show the inlet to be 50mm whereas the Dustex inlet is 60mm. Tighter fit but I wouldn't like to force it.

I have found that the Ryobi 30litre model to have the same inlet size as the Dustex. the Ryobi bags are less than $13 for 3 at Bunny's. Only thing is that I am wondering at how well they will perform in the Dustex. Has anyone tried the Ryobi bags in their non-Ryobi vac? If so how did it go with the suck? any problems? As the Ryobi vac is about the same power their bags should be ok to use in the Dustex.
