If you have a Hoover Conquest, you gotta try this!

[Derek]

i replaced my Conquest's dust-cup assembly with the Hepa-bag filtration system. the suction was shocking.

i never used to use my Conquest cause i got tired of cleaning out the inside of the cloth vac bag above the dust-cup, so the suction was pretty weak.

now i have a hard time leaving it on the lowest height setting cause it sticks to the floor on CGD.

and no more blowing dust!

just a tip --- Derek.

 

[Neil]

Thanks for the tip, Derek. I'll give it a shot.

Empty dust cup outside and shake the cloth bag into the wind.


Use paint brush to dust off machine.

 

[Derek]

even after i'd vacuumed out the inside of that old cloth bag, it still never had the suc power it has now! :x

Where do you get and how much for the bags?

 

[Derek]

Hoover Store 45 minutes away - near my folks house.

filtration outer bag = $69.99 + $9.99 shipping (wasn't in stock).
inner replaceable paper bag = $8.99 for 6.

the paper bags fit VERY tight...hard to get them on.

my 17" Conquest came out of retirement 3 months ago...if only it had a wand. but the extra suc does do far better along edges than previously.

I only use mine for commercial work.
Covers a lot of area quickly.

More filtration should give you less suction Derek.

Something was wrong with the Dirt Cup bag.
