Do the new Hoover type S Hepa bags,for the new Constellations, also fit an older Hoover Portable suitcase style vac, that normally takes the type J bags? I have an older 1970s Portable that im trying to re-furbish, and dont want to use any bags that leak dirt or dust in it. If the type S bags wont fit, what can i do to keep the machine from spewing dust and dirt so badly? Seems like the regular type J bags just dont work well. I have put a new little exhaust filter in the machine, so, that helps somewhat, but was just wondering what else can be done. Thank you! |

Thank you so much Tom,,i did just as you suggested, new bag, new filters and all, and it works great! This Portable is an E-Bay find, it is complete, but was extremely dirty. So,its been quite a challenge cleaning it all up. Looks alot better now, and the motor sounds perfect. It seems very clunky to use and cannot imagine having to drag it around a large house, but the suitcase design is just so cool, and the suction is excellent. Sure is a fun machine. Thanks again for your help! |
