Do they make a reusable bag for this unit?

Nancy the bags are disposable but I am sure you can empty them a few times. You need to make sure you use real ProTeam bags to protect dirt and dust from damaging the motor. Mike Kline - Home Delivered

I don't think so...We got it a while ago, but keep everything in the box it came in, so I doubt there was a bag....

I think so, because it can be washed and used again. You're more prone to throwing away a Ziploc bag after a while or if it's dirty.

I wouldn't reuse them and I also didn't put them in my compost pile. When I put the food waste in my compost pile, then I just burn the used bag. I have found that regardless of what they say, they don't break down very readily. I don't buy more bags, I just use the plastic bags from.Walmart and the grocery stores. You can cut the handles of the bag then tie each of the ends together and tuck down into the sides of the bin. Other than that, I really like the bin. Hope that helps as, like you, I did n't want to keep BUYING the bags.

You replace the entire unit. The bag is heavy duty and is rinsed daily. It has lasted a year and is still just fine! I am sure it will need replacement, but not yet!

Hi GMA, yes, you absolutely can reuse the bags. Just wash them out and save them. They will reseal several times. Hope this helped!

Yes, you could use a bag, a smallish one. But it is so easy to dump and clean because of the curved bottom that I don't feel it is necessary. I'm trying to get away from using more bags than absolutely necessary, and I dump the contents into my compost bin nearly every day and then wash out the Oxo.

I emailed the manufacturer at their website. I was told that you can buy the bags from a medical supply company. Also was told that the manufacturer does sell bags, although you do have to pay a flat rate shipping, so maybe best to order 2 or 3 bags. Price quoted for the bags could be considered expensive for such a bag, but significantly cheaper than replacing the whole unit.

The bags are reusable and do not need to be replaced. They are machine washable and very durable.

No. The bags are biodegradable (compostable) so they cannot be re-used. Mine last about a week if I'm careful not to put too much wet stuff in the bin. Longer than that and the bags start to degrade and leak. Shelf life, however, seems to be quite good. They begin to break down only after being in contact with organics.

Yes they do (there are 2). One of the filters (which is a black plastic mesh material) is reusable in my opinion too fyi. I just suck all of the dust out of it with a vacuum hose and reuse it (or it could be washed and dried).

Yes it is reusable. Mine has lasted since December. Just let it completely dry between uses.

No. But they make a version with drop down side panels that form side bags, which might be large enough ... Check the dimensions.

Yes. Mine came with a bunch of them which I rarely use. Like Joyce C., I just tie off the bag itself.

It is not replaceable. To preserve the longevity of the bag, use non-abrasive cleaner such as vinegar and use bleach on a as needed bases.

There is a W541 optional disposable bag which is finer. I made my own bags from drain tubing socks to catch silt. Both fit inside the mesh bag.

Yes. It has a standard outer bag ( a 'sleeve') for the inner filter bag which is disposed of when full.
