    Hiya - in my experience they do leak a little over time (although mine are now a couple of years old) but still good dust protectors and still work if I keep getting the vacuum on them! Bought mine from Poundstretcher (can't remember how much) but don't know if they still do them.

    Money saving tip! Don't buy expensive bags, use black refuse sacks. Just put in all your items, insert vac pipe into bag, and with a piece of string, tie a slip knot, loosely, just passed the end of the pipe, suck out all the air and while vac is still switched on pull the knot tight, wrap string round the neck of the bag a couple times and tie tightly.
    P.S. Don't forget to put a label on the bag listing the contents.
