This is the replacement bag for the GE and Wal-Mart branded canister vacuums that use the CN-1 bag style, supplied three to a pack by EnviroCare. It is a straightforward consumable with one job: keep an older, perfectly serviceable canister running rather than letting a discontinued bag style force the machine into retirement. If you own a GE canister and have been hunting the aisles for bags that no longer sit on shelves, this is the current in-production equivalent.
Built for: common use cases
- Households and small offices still running a GE or Wal-Mart CN-1 canister that works fine and does not need replacing.
- Owners of Eureka 6850, 6851 and 6852 canisters, which share the same bag style.
- Anyone who has been searching for GE part 61980 and finding it discontinued or overpriced.
- Buyers who want microfiltration rather than the plain kraft paper that shipped with many older canisters.
Microfiltration in a bag this size
The reason to prefer a microlined bag over plain paper on an older canister is that older machines generally have weaker secondary filtration than current models. Whatever the bag lets through goes more or less straight out the exhaust. A microfiltration liner captures the fine dust, dander and pollen that plain paper passes, which makes an appreciable difference to the air in the room while you are vacuuming. It also keeps the motor cleaner, and on a machine that is already a decade or two old, motor life is the whole game.
Fitment
These bags fit GE and Wal-Mart canister vacuums using the CN-1 bag style, including the GE and Eureka 6850, 6851 and 6852 models and the GE Wal-Mart 106766 canister. They replace GE and Eureka part number 61980 and correspond to EnviroCare part 140. If you are unsure which bag style your canister takes, the style code is usually printed on the old bag collar or inside the bag door.

Frequently asked questions
Which vacuums take CN-1 bags?
GE and Wal-Mart canister vacuums using the CN-1 style, including GE and Eureka models 6850, 6851 and 6852, and the GE Wal-Mart 106766 canister.
Are these genuine GE bags?
No. They are EnviroCare aftermarket bags built to replace GE and Eureka part 61980. The original GE bags are largely out of production.
How do I confirm my bag style?
The style letter or code is normally printed on the cardboard collar of the bag currently in the machine, or on a label inside the bag compartment door.
How many bags are in the pack?
Three bags per pack.
Will microlined bags reduce dust in the room?
Yes, noticeably so on older canisters. Plain kraft paper passes fine particulate that a microlined liner captures, and older machines have less downstream filtration to catch it.
