It looks great, but isn't it difficult to find 16-gallon bags? Would I have to buy proprietary bags? Could we use common size bags instead?

We use regular bags (13 gallon I think) in ours and it works fine. Love the trash can!

I had to buy 30 gallon and fold them over under lid. 13 gallon were too small.

We use the big black bags, I think 30 gallon. This trash can was a GREAT purchase, highly recommend it.

Simplehuman offers great trash bags also. I wish they would show that info. in the ads. You can find 16 gallon bags in a lot of stores and on the internet. Good Luck.

13 gallon bags work fine. No need to buy proprietary bags. One neat trick I found is to place the top or the trash bag over the outside container handles so that it holds the bag in place. This keeps the bag from slipping to the bottom of the trash can when placing heavy trash items in it and allows you to fill the bag completely.

No, you don't need to buy proprietary bags...bought to use in small business, thinking about buying another...love the trash can

Definitely contact the seller. I've ordered them twice now and both times gotten these 13 gallon kitchen bags. The first batch was a bit flimsy though, I almost had to double bag them, but the second batch was much stronger.

I use a 13 gal plastic 2X2 bag. It is a little big but I wrap it over the inside handle....not perfect but I love having a recycle "bin" next to the garbage.

I would say no; I ended up purchasing another bag. If you plan on having plants, you'll need more flourite to mound around them. My tank is 20 gallons and I needed two, so at least two for sure!

I don't know how you could. It's almost too big for 30 gal. trash bags--does better with 39 gal.

Good evening I would like to start by saying we sell hundreds of Madella pumps a year and to be honest with you they are basically all the exact same motor. The only difference usually is the style of the bag. Typically the insurance companies will give you the not a stylish brown lunchbox style tote or the one listed above with the cooler. The ones the people are typically purchasing now are the metro bag which is more stylish and looks like a large diaper bag and serve the dual purpose of diaper bag as well as pump but does not look like a pokey hospital style pump What's also convenient about the metro bag is that the pump is in its own little lunch bag style size told that is removable and you can use it for portable pumping in your home your vehicle or wherever you choose to pump without having to carry large awkward tote looks like a big beach cooler. If you have any additional questions please feel free to contact us if you're looking for a stylish pump we have many in stock somewhere listed and some are not yet listed. Thank you very much the baby Depot

Yes, I use hefty black out 13 gallon tall bags (the hole in the bin is specifically there to push the excess bag in). I prefer this type of bag over their G bag. When I remove the 13 gal. bag there is extra room to put in more items. If you are like me, when you finally decide to empty the trash it is because you have something that won't fit. I also find that removing any bag from this can when full can be a bit of a pain, because there aren't any air holes at the bottom. I contacted Simplehuman and asked if I could drill holes in the bottom of the removable bin to aid in removal of the bag (without voiding my warranty). The answer was yes, (4) 1/4" really really helped. Yes, I use hefty black out 13 gallon tall bags (the hole in the bin is specifically there to push the excess bag in).

I think it is too big. I tried a 42 gallon bag (32 3/4" by 45") and that fit with some difficulty...

Wish we could help. We bought four boxes of ProPack 1-gallon storage bags from Amazon some months ago. We've been working through the first box, so far with no problems. Based on your question, we opened a second box of them this morning, but still encounered no problems. Looks like indeed you were unlucky enough to get a bad shipment. Hope you get a replacement shipment or a refund!

We buy ours from WalMart , they come in a box of 12 for Quart bags or you can buy Gallon size but not sure of quanity in gal.

Your bin is slender for its height. The bag will fit quite loosely but is certainly workable because of the height of the bin. (And your 8 gallon bin is too tall for the 8 gallon bags that fit shorter bins or large wastebaskets.)

Doubtful but go to the Flourite website, whatever it is. They have a calculator there. Just enter your tank dimensions and (I think) your desired depth and it'll tell you how many bags you need.

We use 4 mil poly bags. But mine has stopped working now. I am going to have to check it out and see if I can fix it now.

excellent question! I did research before buying this vacuum and it turns out you need to buy the bags directly from GreatVac. I will bring one bag next time to Walmart to see if they carry some standard ones with the same size.

Mine opens up just fine. I love this product. My only problem is that I have to take the trash bag downstairs to dispose of it. Being such a large size can, it gets really heavy if you wait until it's full. I'm going to downsize to the 13.2 gallon size. I would definitely recommend the product.

I don't seem to have a problem with it, using the Kirkland trash bags from Costco. You could always put something at the bottom to take up space and support the bag, like an empty plastic gallon of milk container.
