Genuine Miele bags?
I don't deal in rubbish my lad! *LOL*
Yes, they are the real McCoy, five per box with one replacement filter.
Ordered "Z" bags, and these are what I got, so they must go.

Drop me an email with how many you wish (have three or four plastic shrink wrapped sets as they come from Miele) of each, each set has five boxes of five IIRC, have to go into where they are stashed to count. Can give you price and total for shipping based upon amount wished, will need a zip code to get a UPS or USPS quote.
Thanks,

just out of curiousity,
What are you folks paying for your Miele bags? Four M50/51/53 bags plus the micro filter run between 8 and 17€ in Munich, depending on where you buy them.
My Miele has so many filters I usually forget one, it sure is nice not to have that freshly sprayed with dust smell when I use it, though.
Let's see. It cost me three times what a decent vac normally costs. Have had it for nine years now, never had a problem. Hmm, my last few vacs died from the cat and dog hair in less than a year...
Yup, guess they're worth it, even if the filter bags do cost a fortune.

In the UK
Mieles Recommended retail is £6.99($13 odd). The shop I work in charges £7.00 to save the messing with pennies lol.
Some places rip off their customers for upto £11 a box!!!!
I have the same perc as Reggie- mine come @ cost
Seamus.
P.S over here they come with both the motor filter and a Super Airclean exhaust filter- is this the case in the US??

same in Germany
I notice that the price for household accessories has more dynamic than for the devices themselves. A Miele vacuum cleaner which sells for 250€ at Hertie usually sells for about the same at Kaufhof.
Maybe it is like printers...the manufacturers make their really money on the aftermarket sale of bags and filters.
Reggie, we got a note from Miele here in Germany a few years back, asking us not to throw out vacuums which had been in use after Chernobyl due to the radioactivity, but to dispose of them properly. Did you folks get anything similar? Seamus? I know the UK, sadly, also got a fair dusting back in '86...

Reggie..
Thats still cheaper than a lot of places over here- $16.95 is about £8.90.
Its strange that the actual machines are that much more in the US but the bags are about the same. On the subject of bags sometimes it seems the cheaper the cleaner the more of a rip off the genuine bags are!

Whilst on the bag subject....
There is a post on Vacuumland at the mo asking for peoples opinions on Pattern/bojack bags in Mieles. My opinion on this is quite simple NEVER!!. No non Miele bag is gonna come close with regard to filtration, capacity without clogging etc- why would you buy one of the best modern cleaners there is then want to put cr@ppy bags in it anyhow! I dont know if the same applies in the US but over here Miele Void the warranty if non genuine bags are noted by the engineer on a repair!

We have never had any notices about not throwing vacuums away that I know of (I'm sure I would have heard by now if there was). I know vacuums are always in the trash over here, so there are tons of violators if there is such a policy.
As for bojak bags, it depends on the vacuum and the difference in the bag. With something like a Miele, I notice that all the bojak bags have cheap cardboard collars, which leak (Mieles that come in with bojak bags are always filthy inside, while genuine ones that were well maintained are spotless) and they dont seem to be any cheaper really. And I would say the extra leaks balance out any difference in bag price, so you might as well, for the sake of the poor vacuum, use genuine Miele bags.

original versus
The funny thing with original versus "fake" vacuum bags is, Miele's own bags are made for them by one of the after-market suppliers.
This all came out in a court case a few years ago. Same situation, Miele wouldn't honor a warranty claim because the bag was non- original.
So now the boxes from Swirl and Wolf have notes on them saying they meet or exceed the Miele standards and that using them does not violate your warranty.
Stiftung Warrentest (our version of CR, but still long, detailed and booorrrriiiinnngly dense) agrees that they are the same.
Of course there are also cheap imitations out there and, no question, they do not come close to the real thing.
