Nope... It's not just you Jamie, I can't see a lot of them either. You wouldn't happen to be using Opera would you? I can't see them in Opera, but Safari I can. | ||

My U2462 is in there too - but mine doesn't have the piston bag full indicator - it has the light instead. I think that the piston indicator was discontinued very quickly

I don't think the piston indicator made any difference to the likeliness for the door to split.
As for why they did it, only Hoover will know. Based on my conjecture, I'd say Hoover put the piston indicator on the bag door initially as that was the "done thing" at the time with the Electrolux Contour and others, but when they did all the advertising with the U2462 and U2464 Autosense w/ light indicator side by side realised the U2462 looked too basic in comparison. So they decided to fit an LED light indicator to replace the piston indicator on the bag door and put an emblem where it was so it didn't look plain. I do believe there were also models manufactured for a short period of time which featured the new bag door but no light indicator and thus no indicator at all. There aren't many around (if I'm right in saying they ever existed) these days, the reason probably being that people didn't know when to change the bag due to having no indicator to say so (of course the general consumer wouldn't think to physically check or bother to pay attention to suction levels or motor pitch in most cases) and as a result motors burnt out quickly. | ||

Bear in mind though that at that point Hoover were also used to LED indicators on their cylinder vacs and then replaced with piston valves - they could well have changed to the LED fixture due to previous bag doors from splitting on other models - and if it had become known as a design fault (handily only promoted by those who bought Which consumer magazine,) Hoover probably changed up to LED lights.
However I do remember my Yellow 900 Special Edition had neither. The LED light position was blanked off and there was no piston valve fitted either. | ||
