The whole point of a sealed HEPA-bag vacuum is the bag. Put the wrong one in a Riccar SupraLite or a Simplicity Freedom and you have given up the filtration you paid for. This is a six-pack of Type F HEPA media bags for those machines - the correct bag, in the quantity that keeps you from running out.
Fitment
Riccar SupraLite: RSL1, RSL1A, RSL1AC, RSL2, RSL3, RSL3C, RSL4, RSL5, RSL5C and R10E.
Simplicity Freedom: F3300, F3400, F3500, F3600, F3700 and S10E.
These replace the OEM bags sold as Riccar RSL-6, RSLH-6 and RFH-6, and Simplicity SF-6 and SFH-6. If you still have an old bag, check that Type F is printed on the collar - that is the quickest confirmation you have the right one.
Built for
- Allergy and asthma households. The SupraLite is a common recommendation for allergy-sensitive homes precisely because of its sealed bag system, and the bag is the part doing that work.
- Cleaning services and small offices. These uprights get bought for their light weight, then get used hard, which means bags go quickly.
- Restoring lost suction. A full bag, or a wrong-fit bag that restricts airflow, is the first thing to check when a SupraLite or Freedom stops pulling.
- Stocking up. These bags are not sold in grocery or big-box stores, so a six-pack means the vacuum never sits idle waiting on a resupply.
Why HEPA media rather than plain paper
Standard paper bags catch the visible debris and pass a share of the fine particulate straight through to the exhaust. HEPA media holds those fines. For a household where somebody reacts to dust, that difference is the entire reason for owning the machine.
There is a practical consequence worth knowing in advance. Because HEPA media captures much finer material, it reaches its effective airflow limit sooner than a plain paper bag of the same physical size. People sometimes read that as a defective bag when it is actually the filtration working. Change on the bag-full indicator rather than by how full the bag looks.
A note on wrong bags
Forcing a bag that is not Type F onto the collar restricts airflow, which makes the motor work harder and run hotter. It also tends to leak at the collar, which puts the dust you just collected back into the room. Neither problem announces itself immediately, which is why it is worth confirming the type before ordering.

Frequently asked questions
Will these fit my SupraLite or Freedom?
They fit Riccar SupraLite RSL1 through RSL5 series and R10E, and Simplicity Freedom F3300 through F3700 and S10E. Check that Type F is printed on the collar of your current bag to confirm.
Are these genuine Riccar or Simplicity bags?
They are an aftermarket HEPA Type F equivalent to the OEM bags sold as Riccar RSL-6, RSLH-6 and RFH-6 and Simplicity SF-6 and SFH-6.
How often should I change the bag?
Change when the bag-full indicator triggers, or roughly monthly in average household use. HEPA media reaches its airflow limit sooner than plain paper, so do not judge by how full the bag looks.
Why does my HEPA bag seem to fill faster than a paper bag?
Because it is capturing the fine particulate a paper bag passes through. The media loads with fines and restricts airflow before the bag is physically full. That is the filtration working, not a defect.
Can I use a different bag if I cannot find Type F?
It is not recommended. A wrong-fit bag restricts airflow, makes the motor run hotter, and tends to leak at the collar, which puts collected dust back into the room.
