Ozito ELV-1400 Questions & Answers

yes,the reason its blowing is because the bag is worn or damaged and the debris your sucking is just blowing out instead of being sucked into the bag. YOU NEED A NEW BAG.!!!!

I was able to purchase replacement bags easily enough from Bunnings. They are the same quality as the one supplied with the original product.

Thank you so much for your fast response. Hopefully the company has addressed the issue of disintegrating bags. However I do feel better knowing replacements are readily available. Thanks again for your help.

Replacement bag appears to be more robust and more likely to wear out than just disintegrate.

I asked the same question months ago and i still haven't received an answer. What's the point, I wonder? It just means I won't be recommending their product to anyone else.

Thanks Sheila & Pathfinder for your feedback. I will look for other options.

Hi Stan Unfortunately they have done nothing about the issue. One would have to wonder why when so many people have the same issue. I think more people need to create a fuss with them about this issue. Regards, Barbara

Yes, I am pretty disgusted that the bag is so weak and doesn't last long. Also since Bunnings sells the garden vac but doesn't stock the bags I am pretty disgusted with that as well. I had to order new ones and wait for a few weeks to receive them.

Hi Tony I am afraid I cannot help you much because I tried several and none of them worked unfortunately. I even tried shade cloth but that was too thick to get around and secure at the top. I do believe that Ozito and other suppliers who use this material should return to the original material that blower vac bags were made of. My previous one lasted for many years until the machine died. It did me good service though as I had a very large area to vac. They no longer supply those bags either unfortunately or I never would have purchased an Ozito. Sorry I am not able to assist. I hope you are more successful. Cheers. Barbara

I am waiting for an answer to my question

Hi Denise The bags do not last but a few weeks unfortunately. I have even written to them requesting that they consider using a different fabric. Due to the cost of replacement bags we have taken to making our own. To do so requires using cable ties to connect the fittings. If you go down that track, please make sure that whatever fabric you use breathes, I hope this helps.

So how do l get the bags you are making?

People complain about the bags on ALL garden vacs. In order for a garden vac operate, a bag needs to be made of a material that allows air to pass through freely but also thick enough to catch dust. It's almost impossible to make a tougher one. I reinfored mine and the air pressure that built up inside caused it to rip the seams. They just need to lower the price of the replacement and treat them as a desposable item
