Electrolux and AEG GR200S dust bags
If your machine is one of the models below, the bag you need is the Electrolux/AEG GR200S.
Newer Electrolux and AEG cylinder ranges that moved away from the classic s-bag opening to a wider inlet.

What to check before you order
GR200S has a wider collar opening than the classic s-bag and the two are not interchangeable. If your current bag does not sit flush, check whether your model uses GR200S instead of s-bag.
How to replace it
- Unplug the vacuum and open the dust compartment door.
- Lift out the full dust bag by its card or plastic collar, keeping it level so it does not spill.
- Check the collar shape against the Electrolux/AEG GR200S before fitting the new one; a bag that does not sit flush will not seal.
- Slide the new dust bag collar into the machine's bag holder until it clicks or seats fully home.
- Close the compartment door. Most machines will not run, or will run with reduced suction, if the door is not fully latched.
- Run the vacuum briefly on an empty patch of floor to confirm suction feels normal before doing a full clean.
Common mistakes
- Buying by vacuum model number alone instead of checking the bag shape, which leads to a bag that does not seal.
- Reusing a bag past the fill line printed on it, which chokes airflow and can strain the motor.
- Forcing a bag from a different reference into the holder; if it does not seat without pressure, it is the wrong one.
How this reference sits in the Electrolux range
Electrolux also uses the Electrolux/AEG s-bag Classic shape, and the two are not interchangeable. Compare before you order:
| Other Electrolux reference | Fits | Capacity |
|---|---|---|
| Electrolux/AEG s-bag Classic (and s-bag Classic Long Performance) | Most Electrolux and AEG cylinder vacuums sold from the mid-1990s through the 2010s that carry the s-bag logo on the dust compartment | 3 litres (Classic); the Long Performance variant adds an extra layer for slightly longer service life at the same capacity |
How long a pack lasts
A retail pack holds 4 dust bags. At the usual rhythm of one change every four to eight weeks in an average household, that pack covers roughly 4 to 8 months, so most people buy bags once or twice a year rather than monthly.
The 3.5 litre capacity is the volume the bag holds, not a fitting measurement: two bags of the same capacity can have completely different collars. Use it to judge how often you will be changing the bag, and the collar shape to judge whether it fits. Our guide on how often to change a vacuum bag explains what shortens that interval.
