These are genuine Hoover Type Y HEPA filtration bags - the bag Hoover specifies for its WindTunnel family of upright vacuums. If allergies are the reason you vacuum, the bag matters as much as the machine: each AH10040 bag uses three layers of Filtrete HEPA media to trap fine dust, pollen, dander, and other allergens that pass straight through standard paper bags, and to keep them trapped when you pull the bag out.
Built for
Households with allergy sufferers and pets get the most from HEPA-grade bags - the multi-layer media holds the fine particles that make vacuuming with cheap bags feel like redistributing dust. Cleaning services running Hoover WindTunnel uprights across client homes use genuine Type Y bags because a generic bag that seats poorly leaks dust inside the bag compartment and chokes airflow. The bags also suit home offices and small commercial spaces where any upright in the compatible model list below is on duty.
Hoover has renumbered this product over the years: the older part number 4010801Y is now sold as AH10040. Same bag, same fit. If your vacuum's manual calls for Type Y or Type Z bags, this is the current genuine part.

Frequently asked questions
Which vacuums take the AH10040?
Hoover uprights that use Type Y or Type Z bags - most classic WindTunnel and T2 models. The full compatibility list is in the specifications above; note the WindTunnel 2 series uses a different bag.
Is Type Y the same as 4010801Y?
Yes. Hoover renumbered the genuine Type Y HEPA 2-pack from 4010801Y to AH10040. The bag and fit are unchanged.
How often should I change the bag?
Replace when the bag is about two-thirds to three-quarters full, or sooner if suction drops. Overfilled bags cut airflow and make the motor run hot.
Are genuine bags worth it over generics?
For HEPA filtration, yes. Generic bags often seat loosely on the bag collar and leak fine dust into the bag compartment, which defeats the point of a HEPA bag and coats the filter.
