Tornado® Strike Fleece Vacuum Bags K28893570, Pack of 10

Your Tornado Strike won't run with an empty bag compartment. Tornado built the cover so it only closes with a filter bag in place, so every Strike in your closet needs a steady supply of these. This pack holds 10 genuine K28893570 disposable fleece bags, the bag Tornado lists for the Strike.

Each bag has a cardboard collar that locks onto the Strike's suction connection. When it's full, you close the bag and throw it out, so the dust goes in the trash instead of back onto the carpet you just cleaned.

Tornado doesn't print a fixed interval, because it depends on your floors. Each bag holds about 0.6 gal (2.3 L) of debris inside the Strike's 3.2 qt dust chamber. Office carpet with light daily soil can go several shifts on one bag. A school entrance after a week of rain can fill one in a night.

The Strike tells you when. If it shows error E1 (suction too low) with a flashing light, Tornado's first fix is a new fleece bag. A full bag is also the first thing to check when pickup gets weak or the brush roll won't start.

Unlock and lift off the bag cover. Push the bag lock to the right and pull the full bag down by its collar. Close it and toss it. Slide the new bag's collar into the mount, swing it up until the lock catches, and click the cover back on.

While the cover is off, look at the gray HEPA filter under the bag. It's the second filtration stage, and a clogged one cuts suction the same way a full bag does. The Tornado H14 HEPA filter K28893420 is sold separately and fits the Strike and the Zephyr backpack.

I'd keep one pack on the cart with each Strike and a spare pack in the closet. Running out of bags mid-route is how a good cordless upright ends up parked in a corner while the crew drags out the old corded one.

One thing to watch if you run more than one Tornado cordless: the bags aren't shared. The Zephyr backpack takes K69043350 fleece bags, and the Roam upright takes 90039 bags. The Strike bag fits neither. The 36V battery is the part they do share. Ordering for a whole fleet? Call (855) 601-5678 and we'll sort the part numbers with you.
