Not at all sure of this. The old velour bag worked just fine, and didn't 
clog up a thing. I think that paper's main value in the vacuum business is 
twofold: for the owner, fastidious disposal without touching the dirt; for 
the manufacturer, something that can be sold over and over.

In the owner's manual of the Mighty Mite I bought from Sears last week, 
there was a diagram showing where (on some models, not my own) an HEPA 
filter will fit. So, just find the right model.
