I just bought a vacuum cleaner at Aldis, &a Ferrex F-WDV6.2, and it seems to be very good. > **[Ferrex 6 Gallon Wet/Dry Vacuum](https://www.aldi.us/product/ferrex-6-gallon-wet-dry-vacuum-0000000000075643)** > > Powerful and portable, great for use at home, in garage, in vehicle, or at the office > 6 Gallon container capacity > 13 ft power cable > Accessories included: 2x extension tubes, 6ft hose, round floor nozzle, crevice floor nozzle, wet and dry floor... But for the life of me, I cannot find any vacuum bags. Aldi’s does list any there IS NO Ferrex help line, and Aldi’s customer service is very non-service oriented. Both Google and Amazon have failed me. It is a 6 gallon canister. And suggestions? ---

You might try Vac shop: [Vacuum Cleaner Bags to fit Aldi Ferrex, Ryobi, Pullman, Ozito and Vax – Vac Shop](https://www.vacshop.com.au/products/will-fit-vacuum-cleaner-bag) Also, eBay might have it. ---

Yeah. Ebay or find a compatible generic(classically difficult). My understanding is Ferrex is a made overseas. The bags will not be easily found on shelves of Home Depot or Walmart. I haven’t looked at Amazon, because you said you had. Aldi has no recourse? ---

Home Depot lists a universal 6 gallon bag for wet/dry vacs. They are very good on returns in case it doesn’t fit.

Shipping is $31. Yikes. The bag would cost more than the vacuum! ---

Reddit says they’re the same as the Harbor Freight Bauer 6 gal vacuums, so you can use the same bags and accessories. [Anyone have the Ferrex wet/dry vac? : r/aldi](https://www.reddit.com/r/aldi/comments/yk9oxn/comment/iv70287/) ---

Yes. This brand is rebranded often. ---

Sounds like the business model for selling home printers. ---
