Flex flex VCE44 Dust Extractor (Vacuum) Bags

[Mike Goetzke]

I purchased one of these several years ago when someone posted it was on sale for I think sub $200. I love this vac even though I still have a fine working CT33. I went to look for more fleece bags for it and I can’t find them. I know Bosch makes a similar vac but it’s 9 gallon and this Flex is 12 gallon. They sell filters that say compatible with both VCE33 and VCE44 but this is just a smaller VCE33 bag that fits in the VCE44.

Wondering if someone has found a true larger VCE44 bag. - Thanks

Hi, acme tool sells a  bag for the 33 or 44. plus one only one bag list in the manual for the 33/44 models

Just FYI, that vac is a rebadge of the Nilfisk ATTIX 44 series.

You can use also Nilfix, Makita and Milwaukee accessories with it, including bags, etc.

My favourite etailer did a nice video on this lately:

There was a time only a few short years ago that you could get the Flex or Milwaukee versions for almost 50% less than the Nilfisk branded model.  I've been watching prices the last few months, and it appears those days are long gone and Flex and Milwaukee are priced within about 10% of the Nilfisk version.

Which is a shame, because I was hoping to get the Flex or Milwaukee 33L model for drywall work instead of a CT 36 AC (we don't get the 26 AC over here in the US), but it's almost the same price anymore, especially once you add the systainer top accessory.

Thanks for the help. I see Amazon has the Makita bags for their 42L vac (close to my 44L).
