Sorry
Alex I should have told you about this before, that the lamp needed a few moments of a blockage to activate and then flashes, and -as you now know- does not extinguish until the cleaner has been switched off.
Of the top-range Turbopower3, there were two identical cleaners; 2880 and 2881. The latter worked in the same way as your Purepower, requiring manual override of the autosense each time the cleaner was switched on. The bag full lamp worked just like the Purepower too.
The majority of the 2880 machines had a locking override facility, though I found at least one which was identical to the 2881. However, of those with locking override, I cannot remember for the life of me if the bag full lamp was as your Purepower is. I am inclined to think not.

I noticed it the other day when the hose end got caught on a plastic carrier bag I went to release the bag from the ose and the light began to flash and I was a little excited, I was like oooo it works!!
I was also pretty impressed that the Purepowers Autosense defaults back to Autosense upon turn on after being overriden to boost the last time it was turned off...Very high tech for the 90's!!

Hello Alex. The fact that it does this may seem quirky, but I can assure you that in regular use, it's rather annoying! As you know, there is a delay from switch-on to power-up, and then the user has to select the boost button for full power. It was a bit of a chore to say the least.

Yes I never understood the delay when it is turned on...
