Just a little update here: Unfortunately I have ended up deciding to not keep this machine anymore. I did some further research and recently the HEPA filters for these got discontinued so that explains why there are no tabs to hold the filter onto place anymore because it was supposed to have them on. And also there was nothing wrong with the blower, it just doesn't blow as well as I thought it would. So other than that, I would still overall recommend this vacuum at the end of the day. Just this machine isn't what I would be satisfied with for our trailer.
No and I have doubts that I would ever buy one due to my controversy history with the Bissell company. I think I'd rather pay more and get the Simplicity Jill instead which is pretty similar. However I would still not rule Bissell out completely though. If I did had to buy a Bissell, I think it would be either the BGC3000 or the Little Hercules. But I could give the Zing a try though anyways.
Excellent vacuum! I love mine, just get a better floor head, a metal telescopic extension wand, and good dusting brush on ebay for cheap and its a super great vacuum for the price!

@@panasonicvac4036 have you tried the Bissell Zing? You can get hepa bags for those and I think they're a bit smaller

Seems like it would be a great camper vac. Sad that the filter doesnt fit but probably not gonna be sealed since its built so cheap.
Just ran into this hepa filter issue, same problem, doesn’t attach at the top.
The one I got at November 9th had 5 bags included
Velcro tabs does the trick
What Is A Hepa Filter For
Will those bags fit in the older mighty mite as well?
I don't know which older ones you're referring to.
The paper bags
You need to be more specific. They are older Mighty Mites that take different bags.
Yeah I'm talking about the older mighty mites, sorry about that.
There are Mighty Mites that take type MM bags like this one, type N, or type C.
I have one 😀
This model appeared in bill and ted (1989) it was red though
That sounds like my bissell stick vacuum.
Very odd comment but you have very nice hands.
