Something unique about the Hoover Type A bag is that it spans several vastly different vacuums. Convertibles, Guardsmans, Conquests, Concepts, Powermax, Elites, Legaies, Runabouts, etc. The list goes on.
Just for fun: Which vacuums do you have that take Type A bags? What is your favorite Hoover which uses them? I currently have 3 vacuums which require type A bags. My U3317 Hoover Concept I, my Hoover C1403, and my Kenmore High Performance "Kenvertible." I use the synthetic HEPA ones. My ultimate favorite, though, is not one I own. It's the Hoover Legacy, soft bagged, in the charcoal color. On a side note, aren't Type Y and Type Z bags virtually the same as Type A bags, just shorter? How do they differ? |

Don't forget the Hoover B style. It also is basically an A bag used on the Oreck/Tacony knock off called the clean and light and I believe the Sovereign as well.
Here's a fun thought. What other band of vacuums can you think of that will use Hoover A bags. Kenmore power center, royal metal upright, Singer/Bissell uprights of the 90's and more. I have Several Convertible, Concept, Elite, powermax, and decade machines as well as Innovation, Sovereign, and runabout that take A bags. |

One Design difference between the Hoover A&Z and the Y is that the wise for a bypass machine and typically two or three layers. The A and Z or for direct air machines.
I do use a HEPA Y bag on my concept one you just need to be careful that you don't feel it too much being that it's a smaller bag. A good gym to find is that there were Hoover HEPA A bags made by Tacony in the mid-2000s |
