I used my first one for close to a year. I wish it could go in the washer, but it can't. Just turn it wrong side out and use a wet cloth on it, let it dry, and then use it some more. It really works and is in use all the time at our house.

I can't answer the question because mine is sitting in a drawer--it didn't work. In fact it caused my bananas to ripen faster and get spots

I haven't had to replace my bag. On the occasions when something has spoiled and we didn't get a chance to eat it I will place the bag inside out wipe it down with mild soap let it dry and use it again.

I actually submitted a review of this banana bag stating that it did not work, and that I wouldnt recommend it, and Amazon sent me a response that they were refusing to post my review. I would not advise purchasing it, as it did not keep the bananas fresh any longer than without it.

I don't remember. I don't have the bag anymore. I replaced it because of the problems I had with it.

I have 2 cats and sweep at least weekly. Have had this vac for about 2 years and have changed the bag 3 times. Will be changing the bag again in a month or so.

I know that I used the bags for the microwave to sanitize as well as our dishwasher (I believe) but I would say every few months. It also depends on how often you use. I think I simply bought this as a back up incase anything happened to mine.

I use them. I rinse and reuse until the bag tears. It's quite a few times. Possibly 10 times.

My book says it has a 2 year warranty. Bags are not usually covered under warranty.

There is no replacement bag. The comfort unit lasts for several months. I try to not let too much accumulate in the bag or let it stay there too long, hoping that will help make the bag last longer. I've been very happy with the comfort unit.

Thanks for the info. We have 2 dogs and I'm worried that I'll have to change the bag once a week! It seemed like I was constantly dumping out the bagless one, a chore I really didn't like! I don't mind removing the bags, it's just that the cost of buying a lot of them can add up. We'll see how it goes - vacuum just arrived today!

We vacuum about once a week on average (2000 sqft). The bag-change indicator never seems to indicate that a bag change is needed, so we just change the bag every couple months or so.

at least twice as long. If you're planning to keep for a LONG time use green bags

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.

I'm not sure. I have had mine for a few years now ... maybe 3, and my bags are as good as they were the day I received it. If replacements are necessary, it won't be for several years. Good, sturdy product.

I agree with the other comments. I've had my bag for four months, with constant use(I use it as my school bag, tablet bag and a purse substitute). No sign of wear and tear yet.

I started using mine almost 9 months ago and I use it pretty consistently. It has held up fairly well, however, I've noticed the the loops on the handles attached to the bag are starting to tear. I also attach it to my stroller frequently so that might be why. Overall, it is in good shape still.

No more than 3 months would be perfect. I know persons that already used it for 5 months with no problem.... Keep the bag closed tide or fill another hermetic recipient with the pownder. regards

I have one cat and I change mine weekly. It is one long bag. There is a cutter on the inside of the can that you use to cut the bag when you're ready to change it. You just tie a knot to make the bottom of the new bag.

A little, not much. I used mine 3 days a week for 2 months at work (desk job) before it started leaking. The leak was in the usual place- on the top where the bag is sealed around the rigid opening
