For bagged vacuum cleaners, the dust bag must be regularly replaced to prevent over filling and loss of suction and to generally encourage maximum levels of performance from your appliance.

Tell-tale signs that the bag is full include a noticeable loss of suction and the visibility of debris or dust on the floor despite cleaning. For some models, there will be a bag check indicator, which will automatically alert you to the need for a new dust bag. Always use genuine Hoover bags, please view this video clip for more information regarding paper dust bags:

We recommend that when the bag is 2/3 full then it should be replaced. Also check that the filters are clean.Both the blue hepa  and yellow filter can be cleaned by dusting them with a soft brush. For best results wash the filters in warm water but please make sure they have dried thoroughly before re fitting them. The bag is not re useable and new bags can be purchase from the spares section of this website.

Hoover recommend that the filters are replaced once per year - doing so will increase the pick up power of the vacuum cleaner.
